PHOEBE
"You're too kind." she said with a light laugh, shaking her head. She couldn't imagine Safrin being honored being compared to her. Her roots were humble, her life was humble, and humbleness seemed antonymous to goddess-like. But perhaps the deities in the world he came from were more...human-like? That was the only explanation she could come up with that made any sense. Why else would he compare her to a goddess?Her head tilted slightly as he began to explain what he had been taught, and how he considered himself unfit for the role. "Well, if your goddesses were anything like those here, I would doubt you unfit. I've yet to meet a deity that didn't seem completely sure of what they were doing." she said to try and boost him up a bit. He seemed a very nice and quick sort, she couldn't imagine why he wouldn't be fit to take on a leadership role. Killian was enigmatic, which seemed to overshadow all faults in a leader if history was to be believed. Someone who could earn trust and inspire - in whatever manner that manifested - was the winning combination of leadership.
She fell silent again as he continued on, dismissing what she said with a rather naughty word. He had misunderstood in a way, but it wasn't particularly important. Her brow furrowed a little as he spoke, seeming equal parts frustrated, relieved, and...lost. Phoebe considered all he head said, settling after a moment on a conclusion about the state of mind he was in, feeling sorry for him all of a sudden. "It must be very hard to go from a world where you path was set, and purpose clear, to one where there is no set path and no clear purpose. The possibilities must be overwhelming." Overwhelming to the point that moving forward might seem impossible, freezing him in place rather than pushing him to continue on.
I gotta find my place
I wanna hear my sound
Don't care about all the pain in front of me
'Cause I'm just trying to be happy
I wanna hear my sound
Don't care about all the pain in front of me
'Cause I'm just trying to be happy
