Phoebe paused a moment. "Yes, I think I would like you to stay, Lady Fay, if you feel so inclined. Just having someone here is nice. It's just, everything happened so fast, and then when it was done, here I sit alone with my own thoughts, overwhelmed by motherly instincts. It can be hard for even the most rational beings to overcome both trauma and hormones." Phoebe sighed, looking at Fay. "I guess I am not ready to face everything just yet. Thank you for putting up with my foolishness," Phoebe admitted, bowing her head."That is true" Fay said, coming over to her to touch her side, away from the eggs. "But hurting others does not heal the hurt you feel. That has been tried, over and over again. The only way to stop that hurt is to come to term with it, though that has had so many different forms. Do you want me to stay here with you? For some, talking things out has helped."
