PHOEBE
As Wessex pushed Phoebe to one side, Pim’s nostrils flared. He didn’t like the Ascended Queen’s attitude, not one bit, and he could sense how much Phoebe disliked the other woman as well. So the dragonling spun around and reared, clawing at the air and crying out at Wessex. The queen better treat Phoebe with some respect or else Pim was going to do more than threaten her. Anyone who made his human unhappy deserved his wrath.
Phoebe sent a pulse of gratitude towards the dragonling even as her irritation at Wessex grew. ”Why should I believe you? You never liked me and were probably glad to see me put away the first time.” Maybe it was just the remnants of the blight coursing through the midwife’s veins, but the normally gentle healer wasn’t going to let the Ascended Queen get away with pushing people around like she always did. Wessex was a bully, and the midwife wasn't going to stay quiet no matter what the other woman said.
”Don’t tell me what to do. You’re no queen of mine, remember? And what’s in here with us?” The midwife couldn’t help the fear from creeping into her voice, and Pim broke off from intimidating the queen to rush to the healer’s side. Phoebe was scared, and he needed to comfort her. That was way more important than scaring an Ascended who he could probably burn easily. Wessex didn't scare him one bit, any more than she scared Phoebe.
