dangerous is just a word, and empty concept she's yet to experience. her mother's words have less weight than she probably had hoped them to have, though juniper understands the concept of not-being-allowed very well. the girl nods, and in the moment is entirely certain that she will not, under any circumstances, not listen. "yeah.
