PHOEBE
Her head tilted slightly at him when he answered her. The people of the Hollowed Grounds, hm? ”Why?” she asked, curiously. ”Roana had a cousin that married into your family. She told me about how strict and duty bound the Launceleyn’s were…why not be free of duty to anyone but yourself for a while?” she asked him gently, her tone unaccusing but genuinely curious. She had never been bound by anything like his family apparently had been, so she wasn’t really certain what all that could do to a person. But it seemed curious to her that he wouldn’t take his freedom and run with it, rather than weighing himself down with the duty of a whole people again.
She looked at the ground as he answered her question with a question. ”In part because it makes me uncomfortable. You’re just…watching like a wolf over sheep. But I also don’t like the thought of anyone coming into my home and not being comfortable.” she said shrugging a little bit as she looked back over at him.

When the static clears
And all is said and done
I will realize that we all need someone
