PHOEBE
Phoebe had long since accepted that Remi's relationship with Frey was tenuous at best. From their first interaction with the god, they had grown and bloomed in very different ways. But it wasn't anything she thought worthy of holding against him. Such was life, and he was entitled to his opinions and feelings. She could respect that and disagree with him on this issue without batting an eye.
Slowly she shook her head at Remi's conclusion. "I would have thought that too, but Amalia is a fighter. She cares about creating and maintaining a world in which her faith flourishes. Frey is more concerned about keeping enough alive so eventually nature and people can resume to grow organically, regardless of which side is victorious. That's...that's what they took me for. So they could shape me to be able to aid with that." she said, wondering if he would understand her meaning and implications now. Frey didn't care about politics or wars or superiority. They just didn't want all their and Rae's nurtured creations go to waste. They didn't want the world to burn to nothing but ashes. And so she was supposed to protect that which was vital to both sides.
At least...she was pretty sure that was what Frey wanted. Lack of certainty was the greatest struggle she had with her divine friend.
But at he mention of Remi handing over his Governorship to Sunjata, her eyes widened. His story, summarized and stilted as it was, gave the wife absolutely no clarity. Save for the bit where apparently Remi and Ronin were at odds with Sunjata. The Nightingale took her friend's hand and smiled a little, giving his hand a squeeze. "I'm not exactly sure what all happened based on that...but if you and Ronin need my help just say the word"
It took Phoebe a moment to place the name, but eventually her lips curved to make a silent 'Ah' shape. "Maeve is shrewd and probably better suited to be a Madame than I was. I'm glad she has been taking care of it." she said, falling silent for a moment. "With the state of things here, and Sunjata being in power...do you think I ought to find another place to be?" she asked. Her and Sunjata were clearly not on good terms. And if he was causing trouble for Remi and Ronin... she couldn't easily stand by and not help them, which would only put a bigger target on her back.

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