PHOEBE

Phoebe nodded slowly as he spoke. "Schooling is important to Harper too. I had to convince him I could find a good teacher in the Greatwood before I moved there." she said. She too needed space, though for reasons altogether different than Nate. At his smile she merely smirks and shakes her head. "Never thought I'd see the day." she said, crossing her arms around her waist.

She stayed quiet while Sunjata spoke to the teacher and delivered his parcel, flashing her a polite smile as she met her eye briefly. The chiding also earned the teacher a smile, this one verging on a grin. "A child's success at school starts at home you know." she said with a teasing grin at him in defense of the teacher.

The garden Nate had apparently planted sounded very similar to the one she had planted in the Hollowed Grounds years ago. Back then there had been no Sunjata and Nate had been one of the teachers at her academy. Simpler times and simpler days. Not that Sunjata inherently made things more complicated...but he sort of did. "I can help with that. Surely I will need something to fill my days and some of these children are bound to hurt themselves." she said with an easy smile.
