Phoebe
The big tree that might've been a goddess...Phoebe nodded, storing the knowledge away. Pim by now had floated back down and skidded to a halt at Phoebe's side - which may or may not have resulted in some scratched from his claws on the slick floor. He trilled up at Phoebe and daddy Frey, rubbing his head against the midwife's leg. Wherever she went, Pim was sure to follow to protect her, as he was meant to do.
Phoebe frowned a bit at the sight of Frey's expression, feeling guilty that she may have been the cause of their frustration. She tried very hard not to be a burden, to be helpful, and when she fell short it was hard not to feel like a failure. But clearly, that was the sort of self-denigrating behavior Frey did not wish for her to cultivate. The reappearance of their humor, even in a small way, did help her feel less so though, and she smiled ever the tiniest bit. "It's hard not to but I will do my best not to." she promised with a little nod.
"Is there anything I can do to ease what troubles you?" she asked, resisting the urge to reach out and take their hand. It was a human gesture, Frey had said, and since her human self-burdening was already irritating them she didn't want to grate on their nerves further.
