Secret Keeper

Phoebe considered his words quietly, trying to make them fit into the puzzle she had been building in her mind of this diety. They were close...but not quite right. Unfortunately she didn't have enough personal experience to help her, everything she knew was purely technical. Her brows furrowed. "I...don't know for sure obviously but..." Phoebe didn't know how to explain it. And Remi seemed so much smarter than her, and obviously more experienced than her. She just sounded stupid. "I agree that passion could exist outside those relationships, but...would that passion have been sincere, when conjured up just to get something?" It seemed insincere and a bit manipulative to her. Trying to manipulate a god was like trying to walk through fire and not get burned. Phoebe sighed, looking rather defeated. She wanted to do good and do right but...she was apparently out of her depth. "I...it is just something to consider." she said quietly, her confidence shaken. Just when she thought she understood...she second guessed herself when experience was flaunted in front of her. His insistence that she avoid interaction with Frey or helping him surprised her though. The midwife considered him, watching him with wide brown eyes. "I can't promise that, Remi." she said quietly. Her full lips curved in a soft smile. "I know it comes from a place of concern but...if we are to thrive here we have to understand how these dieties function. Their likes, dislikes, what motivates them and what they mean and can do...it is just like discovering a new plant or developing a new method of practice. There are risks in the discovery but we are ultimately safer knowing what we are dealing with." To live in fear of these dieties? That seemed a miserable experience. "But know I won't let my guard down or be wreckless. I will be careful." Nor would she seek them out until she thought she accomplished her task. Speaking of which..."But will you help me find someone? You have so much more experience than me!" she said brightly, cheeks reddening. "You're my only friend here. I trust you."
