PHOEBE
”Nature. And yes, must.” she said with a small smile. ”Self-sufficiency is a great trait, but everyone has weaknesses or things they struggle with, things others find simple. There isn’t anything wrong with recognizing what you struggle with and asking someone who is able to help you with it. It’s just part of being human. The diversity of people and their skills makes us stronger and more adaptable, but only if we work together.” she said, all while helping Rhett keep his glasses gravy free. How these boys managed to get mess everywhere was beyond her.
She just smiled and nodded at his thanks, still preoccupied with keeping the mess the boys made to a minimum. And of course, Jax finished first and asked for seconds, and so she was then up and refilling his plate. Then Rhett and Cormac finished their food and so she busied herself with wiping off their hands and faces, sending them back to the living room to play while Jax finished his second helping. Of course she took a moment to pause and pop a cobbler into the oven, at which point Jax was finished and she had to repeat the cleaning steps – her own food all but forgotten. Phoebe seem to fall into a typical, domestic, motherly role with the same ease that the Launceleyn isolated himself.

When the static clears
And all is said and done
I will realize that we all need someone
