It was cold, bitterly cold. And the longer they stood there, colder she grew. Unlike her companions, she had no fur to sprout to help, and even layers of warm clothes eventually became ineffective in the icy wind.

She was frigid cold, but no frostbite quite yet.
Phoebe had never met Neron, but she knew he was from the same world as her, and had an idea she thought of the sort of customs he would expect. And as Amalia answered him, direct, without using titles or introduction and stumbling over her words for clarity, she felt her stomach sink. This might not go over so well with one of noble background like Neron, and so she stepped in. The midwife drew on her finishing school training and dipped her head respectfully to Neron, lacking a skirt with which to curtsey at the moment. "Thank you for your welcome, it is an honor to meet you Warden Neron. If I might introduce, I'm Phoebe Steadman, Dean of the Hollowed Grounds Medical College, this is Amalia Chandrakant, the Shield of Safrin, Jigano Silversmith, the Sage and Provost of the Loreseeker's Guild, and Remi Taliesin, Founder of the Artisan's Guild and our resident Alchemist. As Amalia said, we come on a task from the Old Gods regarding the portals, and hope you'd be willing to discuss partnership in this." she said softly, choosing her words carefully.
