Phoebe
Phoebe nearly jumped out of her skin when Melita called out to her. It wasn’t Melita’s fault, the girl had tried to not scare her half to death, but the young midwife had worked herself up into a frenzy in her own mind. A sneeze would have given her a heart attack – much less her name being called out unexpectedly. She whirled around, her braided ponytail hitting her cheek and eyes wide in panic. Oh. But it was someone she knew, it was Melita. Her shoulders sagged and she breathed a sigh of relief.
”Oh! Melita, it’s just you.” she said, a little breathless from her moment of terror. ”Well…I asked Frey for something to help me defend myself and others…because I’m not strong or combative…and one of the things I have to do is put myself in a dangerous situation.” she said, glancing back at the Labyrinth. ”This seemed like a fitting place for that…right?” Of course it was. She had heard the stories about it. But she was wholly unprepared. She didn’t know what to expect in there after all and had no way at all to defend herself beyond running for dear life and hoping whatever she might face was slower than her.
