PHOEBE
there's a bulletproof bond
Mortified. Phoebe was downright mortified. She pressed her hands to her cheeks, smooshing her face in a comically cute manner. "Oh I know, I have heard much worse but that was pretty bad for me..." she had to admit, still feeling rather flustered. But he clearly wasn't going to tease her anymore over it, so she took the respite while she could and took a deep breath to calm her nerves back down.
Instead, the young midwife focused on his description of gods and religion from his home world and she nodded in understanding. "I would not say your life is in the hands of an infallible being here." she said slowly, trying to piece together what she wanted to say. "They are more...beings of higher knowledge. They are infinite and ensure the balance of the world, life, growth, and death." she explained. "While you and I are perhaps part of that balance and those cycles, we aren't their sole concern. We are but mere blips of life passing through their eternal existence. They can aid us or hinder us, based on our interactions with them, but our lives are intended to be lived as we feel it should be for our own growth, not for the sake of any god. Unless, we feel compelled to of course." she said with a smile.
She looked clearly surprised that he asked for a tour, but pleasantly so. "Well, alright then. I am happy to show you around." she said with a smile, placing the last of the books in its spot. "Well, this is a study room, clearly. And these next to rooms down this hall are research labs...really I am the only one that uses them right now. Still recruiting you know." she said with a grin, showing him through the two labs. One though had an odd contraption that looked more advanced than anything else - rather like a microscope, if such things had existed in Eli's world.
