PHOEBE
Phoebe laughed and shook her head a bit. ”You say that like you’re a lot to deal with.” she said. He seemed nice and fun to her. It was refreshing really, having someone be playful rather than doom and gloomy or far too serious. ”You’re probably right. Still spoil sports, the both of them.” she said jokingly of her parents, as any child would at having their fun dampened by their parents looking out for their well-being. Clearly she didn’t think ill of them for it though, and it was all in good fun to joke about it. ”I look forward to it, truly.” she said with a grin, finding herself quite excited at the prospect of learning how to do a backflip.
She smiled warmly at the boys as they nearly knocked her over, hugging them close to her legs. ”I am done with work at the Temple for the day, yes.” she said to Cormac, ruffling his hair before her honeyed gaze turned to Jax. ”I think we can find some time to make cookies.” she agreed, and his eyes widened in excited anticipation. Her attention turned to Rhett then, but Harper jumped right in with introductions. ”I’m Rhett.” said the one with the glasses. ”I’m Jax! And that’s Cormac.” the chubby one said, pointing at the third boy who had spoken to Phoebe first.
”Mr. Harper will be staying with us for a little while because he is new to Caido, so I expect you boys to be on your best behavior, okay?” Phoebe said in a warm, motherly tone. ”Yes, Auntie.” the boys said in perfect unison.

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