The seeds had been collected. The summoned animal had been killed. The magical soil had been obtained. And in the time it had taken the midwife to gather all of these things, so very much had changed.
Phoebe approached the shrine for the first time in...since just before Fiat Lux. Her weekly ritual had fallen by the wayside in the wake of her grief and emptiness. Seeing it before her now, offering of peaches and honeysuckle in one basket, her gathered items in another, she could not help the swell of guilt bubbling up. Frey deserved better than her. Frey deserved better than a human who was too weak to protect their own, too weak to face the suffering of life without breaking. She had intended to start over, once upon a time, to be better and bolder and stronger. Now here she stood, a half-year later since she had made that decision, more broken than ever.
Quietly she laid down her offering and then the gathered materials upon the alter. [say]"Frey, I brought the things you asked of me."[/say] she called out to her friend, fingers itching to scratch and press on the burns on her knees to keep her emotions from bubbling over.
