Phoebe
She could have swore. Another hole she missed, another thing she overlooked. The notebook of notes fell from her hands as she lifted them to press against her eyes. For all the world she felt like a tool that was being used for something it had never been made for. Her fingertips scrunched and pulled at her hair, thoroughly messing it up. With every question, Frey made clear how little she had accomplished.
She looked up as they chided her, freezing to behold them. "Frey..." she breathed. "Are you...are you sick too?" she said, her frustration and insecurities and disappointment suddenly cast aside for worry. Dread coiled up in her gut as she was faced with a possibility she had never considered - that a god could become ill and perish for it.
No. No no no no no. It couldn't.
"Where is Rae?" she said, strength returning to her voice. They were the god of nature were they not? Phoebe wasn't the best advocate for herself, but for those she cared for was a different story. Frey was Rae's herald - if any could understand this it was Rae, from what little she knew of them and their own herald was in danger. She would never think to call on a higher god usually, but this was no usual situation. "Certainly they know about this? They must have some idea what must be done?"

In These Past Few Days When I See Myself
I Seem Like Someone Else
