I believe that the darkness reminds us where light can be
While fully ill with the blight, Phoebe had neglected a lot of things. One in particular were her weekly visits to the shrines to give Frey an offering and speak to them. Of course, they didn't appear every week, but that wasn't the point. It was the sign of her devotion to her divine friend, the reminder that she thought of them often and tried to carry their lessons with her each day (her success in doing so varying from time to time). She felt guilty for failing to keep up this ritual, the same guilt she felt for all those she hurt while blighted.
And so she came to the Shrine, her gift one she had thought through carefully. Fresh fruit was in short supply in Deep Frost but she did have fruit preserves, with which she had made a pie. But in keeping with Frey's preferences and humor, she had carefully arranged the top crust in a provocative image. She set it on the shrine carefully and Pim set his own offering of a tube of glitter he most definitely didn't knick off of a market stand because he liked shiney things. "Frey...I just wanted to come and apologize for not visiting while I was sick... for not accomplishing more with my research and how I acted towards you as well." Phoebe said softly. She remembered how exhausted and frustrated she had become as the blight began to take hold, how short tempered she was and how vile her thoughts, even towards them. She swallowed a lump in her throat. "I hope you can forgive me, and that we can still he friends...I've missed you terribly."
Pim of course just roared to Phoebe's ears, but also sent out a call for the deity. He had his own questions!
