PHOEBE
Phoebe blinked at him slowly, brown eyes widening as he laughed. What...what was so funny?! But once he finally explained, a bit of color rose to her cheeks, suddenly embarrassed. Clearly she had been the one making assumptions. "A bad one, I suppose...my apologies for assuming." she said, swallowing her pride to apologize as she admitted her mistake.
And it seemed he wasn't don't shocking her. She had yet to meet a merchant who had not been eager to take her pay away as payment. And more over one who had no use for a brothel. Was he even from Torchline?
But then he explained his deal and she openly gaped. "Wh-what?!" she stuttered. "B-but...I can't accept that, I would basically be stealing from you at that point!" she said. Now, Phoebe liked a good deal but...by Torchline standards this was charity! And though it made her stick out like a sore thumb, she had some moral standards that made her feel badly about taking something like this.

And all is said and done
I will realize that we all need someone
