[Seasonal Event] Boy Problems

Phoebe I know I am good at something, I just haven't found it yet She smiled as the Luxere flocked to Sam for more apples. Hmmmm. She dug around her bag and threw out bits of apple and carrot for them, intermingled with the yummy oat bread. There! That should sate them for a minute. It was also good to know that Sam was good by him. She did her best to not use nicknames with people if she did not know their preference for them. That was a fast way to get on someone's bad side unintentionally in her experience. "We had sex." If Phoebe had been drinking something she would have spit it out. Her head whirled around to look at him, brown eyes wide, cheeks bright red. First of all, wow okay that was a lot of very personal information to hear very quickly and unexpectedly. Second of all, didn't that mean things were going well and not an indicator of a problem?? But as Samuel stumbled on with his story it became clear to Phoebe that they certainly had not had sex but perhaps fooled around...or Sam was reading much more into the situation than there really was. When he finished his tale she blinked a few times, trying to regain control of her face but...wow. Okay then. This was not what she had expected. She tried to put herself in his shoes to bring herself out of shock. He was obviously attracted to Remi. There had been...some sort of physical encounter that led him to believe there was an intimacy between them...and yet he felt rejected. Finally her features settled into an empathetic smile. Yes, she could understand how that would be a problem. "I see." she said in a soft, gentle tone. If he allowed she would reach out and place a comforting hand on his shoulder. "What did he say that made you think he did not want you? Have you told him plainly how you feel for him since then?"
