Phoebe
"It comes and goes as it suits me." she snickered, leaning over to kiss his cheek.
She considered his words, deciding it wasn't worth arguing the point that she didn't consider herself inadequate...she just couldn't find a good enough purpose for it. They were perhaps different ways of looking at it the same way, but she didn't like the negative connotation of inadequacy. His concerns did worry her though, and she reached out to hold one of his hands. "We could work through it though, right? I would still be me, after all..." she said, brow furrowing with worry now. Phoebe did not want to think that this was such a fragile thing - Harper was so dependable after all. Certainly, so long as they grew together, even if her abilities changed...they could find some way to make it work.
But again she fell silent as he lectured her, eyes glancing down at the space between them. "I am not sure how wars worked in your world...but in my experience, everyone is affected by them. I grew up in a wartorn kingdom remember." she said softly. Innocent people were always dragged into the middle, no matter how hard they tried to stay out of it. She looked up at him again, eyes pleading that he would understand. "I just...if given the option I would rather prepare myself for it, and hope it never comes to pass than try to avoid it and be faced with it unprepared. And Remi and Ronin aren't just neighbors...they're my family."

I can see your sad story eyes,
So how do you have no words to say
So how do you have no words to say
