Sleep, and I Shall Soothe You

phoebe Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm you, and annoint you Phoebe stared at him, not entirely sure she understood. "So...that is it. She declared herself Queen without asking and you're mad about it." she said, feeling like he was just repeating what she said in a different way. "But that is how all leaders come to be. They just start leading. They take control and make order. No one ever gets to choose who leads, that's just..." she sighed and shook her head, looking up at the ceiling. "It's inherently flawed. People who have leadership qualities become leaders. People who are popular get chosen. And a lot of times, to be a good leader, you can't be popular. You have to do things that people don't like because it needs doing. It's just like parenting. You can't be a good parent and have your children like you all the time. You can't be a good leader and have people like you all the time." she said, looking at him again with a slight frown. Was she implying he was being childish? Perhaps. "She has the right because she has the power and gall to claim it." she said. "I don't know of anyone else who stepped up to the plate. I don't know anyone else who was trying to bring a sense of unity to all of us. Everyone was just running off, doing what they wanted when the wanted where they wanted regardless of the repercussions on the whole. Not a single person has tried to bring us all together until her." she said, hugging Pim close in an effort to comfort herself. She glanced down towards the shrine to Frey, still frowning a bit. "But I guess it is easy for you to forget, being a Natural. But people like be haven't had a place to belong since we arrived here and now someone is trying to make this place that somewhere. Somewhere we can all be happy. Somewhere we can all fit in and be accepted."
