Secret Keeper

Phoebe smiled a little as Remi tried to show off his cuff that was no longer present. This world really had changed a lot of things. "No. Maybe here shapechangers will be treated with the respect they are due." Phoebe said. She never understood why they were so looked down on. They were more than just a regular person in so many ways. Her smile faltered as she watched him struggle with himself, and what it meant in the world they lived in. Just like being a shapechanger...would this aspect of society remain the same, or would it be different? "No, I would think not...which is why it was important I think for me to come tell you that...Well you don't have to worry about me and what I think. You are still a far better person than many with 'accepted' tastes." she said, making quotations with her fingers around the word accepted and rolling her eyes a bit because it was ridiculous. She couldn't imagine why anyone would think someone like Remi was so bad just because he was attracted to men. If anything it was to his detriment - men could be real jerks. Though maybe it wasn't so hard for him because he was a man and understood them? Her thoughts were turned away from that though when he said he wished to be friends as well and would even like it. She smiled truly then, bright happiness, reaching all the way to her eyes. Pleased as punch was a good description. She followed behind him as he moved away, still clasping her hands in front of her, and for the first time looking around. It was quite the impressive shop he had. "Oh, yes please." she said with a smile at the offer of tea. Tea had a way of calming her down, whether it was the intent of the specific brew or not. He asked about her and she thought for a second. "Well, I am the youngest of four. Brahm Steadman was my brother if you ever knew him in Northaven. I am a midwife as my trade..." she said, pausing as she lifted a hand and tapped a chin with her finger. What else? She didn't really like talking about herself so this was hard. "I'm seventeen...I don't like conflict and actively avoid it...and I can't lie to save myself." she said and smiled with a curt nod. That was a pretty good description of herself she thought!
