Phoebe
Pim’s little head tilted to the side, making an intrigued little chirping noise at the god. But quickly the little dragon was distracted, the bird disappearing into little bits floating on the breeze. He roared squeaked at the little bits and pounced at them, chasing them around, seemingly not concerned with Frey’s lack of appreciation for the pheasant. The glow stones were still there after all, and Pim was but a baby with a short attention span. Phoebe laughed a little and shook her head at his antics.
She rose when Frey bid she rise, her cheeks turning red at their comment. ”No, I am not.” she said with a light laugh. Phoebe had her boundaries – and she was spoken for, making things complicated as humans did per Frey’s assessment – and Frey had always been respectful of those boundaries. If they ever just wanted some cuddle time though? Well, she would agree to that.
But Frey’s sudden seriousness was uncharacteristic of them, and she similarly grew serious in response. She considered a moment, before answering. ”I can’t say for certain. The Fae say it is because the barrier fell… and I believe after 300 years completely cut off from the rest of Caido, it is entirely possible that certain plant diseases or blights could have developed that the Greatwood is unaccustomed to fighting off.” she said, thinking of it in terms of people, where those that lived far away could bring new ailments with them. And to be fair, the Glade was really the only place in the Hollowed Grounds that didn’t seem a touch blighted. ”But the barrier hasn’t been down that long. For it to spread so rapidly…well it would seem its something more than a standard plant disease.”
