It's definitely weird; you literally have to be like "character is doing this right now." I flip-flop tenses a lot, on accident of course but still. I like how it reads but passive is much easier to write for once you get back into the swing of it. :P

Considering how she read like an open book 99.9% of the time, Juniper would have gladly divulged all of the key points that led her from being excited about travelling to holy-Hera-NO-THANK-YOU within a few weeks. Mostly involving a highly sheltered, but thoroughly informed childhood with no detail left upturned that would likely bore most listeners to tears. Nope, in the here and now, it wasn't nearly as important as making a good impression on the russet-tinged woman.

She was, however, insanely pleased that the woman enjoyed her peculiar brand of humor. Bonus points!

One of those aforementioned russet tips twitched three times in rapid succession before a reply was offered. Juniper tore her eyes away from the motion of Saena's ear, cocked her head, and then looked around. "I was... kind of wondering what that smell was," She remarked thoughtfully. "But no, I've, well--it never occurred to me to try licking tree juice, if that's what you're asking." She laughs; a hearty, deep-seated one similar to Saena's own not a few moments ago. It is quite telling of her personality, even when faced with circumstances like this one.
