PHOEBE
there's a bulletproof bond
Phoebe knew she couldn’t just go traipsing out into the Greatwood, not now that there was a queen and laws. Everyone else seemed very upset by it all but, frankly, Phoebe didn’t mind. Zariah was terrifying, certainly, but she didn’t see a whole lot of bad in what she had instated so far. Perhaps, by showing some respect, by not being amongst the outraged, she might garner some favor. And boy, did she need it now.
She knew that the Left Hand was regularly at the Rathskeller, given that she owned the place, and Phoebe did vaguely recognize her from Long Night and so felt more comfortable approaching her than the Queen proper. Quietly she entered the bar, spotting Edrei behind it. She made her way up, waiting for other customers to get what they needed before she spoke to her. ”Uhm…excuse me…Left Hand Edrei…may I ask you something?” she said, to get her attention. ”I need to go into the Greatwood with a friend. We are researching the blight affecting the trees, and hope that in finding a cure we can mend fences between us and the Fae. Could we please have permission to go into the Greatwood? The Fae have met her before and accepted her, and I met them briefly as well. I promise we won’t make any trouble.”
