Phoebe
Phoebe smiled at her friend and nodded. ”Yes, because I am a mortal.” she said simply. Frey had said comfort was meaningless, and perhaps to a god it was. But she was mortal, and comfort had meaning; and she knew that somewhere, deep down, Frey would understand its sentiment in their own way.
That they were neither terribly impressed with her device, nor with her concerns was not shocking. She simply nodded and tucked it away, already trying to think up ways to make this happen. Again, she took Frey’s hand, a cheeky grin on her face in completing her mortal gesture. ”Friendship is two-sided, and you have done so much for me. I can tell the blight in the Greatwood concerns you so I will do everything I can to help see it resolved.” she said, forcing what little courage she had to smother out her worries and what ifs. It had shaken her to see Frey so overcome with trouble, their carefree nature burdened by the seriousness of what was happening in the Greatwood.
”If I find something, especially something I don’t understand, may I call on you again to help me make sense of it?” she asked. This would be the first time she would be putting her device to use, and she was certain she would come across a great many things she didn’t know. Frey had the knowledge to understand what she found, and she the duty as a mortal to make the worldly repairs to see the Greatwood restored.
