JUNIPER
you think i'm happy because i'm smiling,
but it's the easiest thing to do
Juniper's eyes widened at Remi's words -- she hadn't realized that he already possessed such powerful weapons. Of course, she shouldn't really be surprised; the Lullaby himself was a powerful weapon. If you were inclined to think of people as things, which Juniper was not.but it's the easiest thing to do
"Normally I would say that if one side holds an overwhelming advantage, they ought to be able to force a peace -- that even a majority of relics should be able to decide the matter without bloodshed. But the Ascended ..." Juniper sighed. It wasn't even their enemy's fault that war hung over them all. That was the worst part, really. "The Old Gods seem unwilling to accept anything short of their total annihilation, as I understand it. So of course they'll fight, no matter how poor their chances."
Juniper had always thought that if they had to have a war, best to win it quickly and get it over with. But if their victory meant the complete destruction of the Ascended ... sometimes Juniper wondered if she wasn't on the wrong side.
She had to shake her head to bring her thoughts back to the matter at hand. "But if bringing together all the relics somehow can prevent or delay war, you have my full support in the matter. Actually, I might have a lead on one of them -- I went into a magical house in the Feverlands, and a man named Locke exited the place with a strange doll ... "
As she spoke, Juniper began to carefully pour the water from the Drop into the jars -- not directly from the bucket, but using a cup that she dipped into the bucket. She didn't want to spill any precious fluid, and even the water had taken effort to haul here.
if you looked a little closer,
you'd find my eyes aren't smiling too.
