Keisha hasn't seen Fern since that first night when she came up to Jack and fawned so creepily over him, and then was drugged and taken off by Cold Crescent's…well. Let's not think about that, because that's about where Keisha stops herself to avoid falling into depression. The point is, she has not pushed things to visit her. There are people better-suited to trying to repair Fern's fractured mind and soul than she is, and while everything in her has been itching to drop by at every one of the regular trips she's made to Forgotten Questions as one of the Oracles, she held off. Besides, there was new crisis that had kept her busy for so long.
But she's here now, and the change in Fern is startling. She isn't at all surprised that it takes three separate visits for them to be able to see her; she expects that the cub will consider anyone an enemy at this point, and that they work with both septs probably doesn't help. She takes a stand just behind Phoebe and to her right, her staff laid down a few feet behind them so as not to appear threatening. The suspicious glare that Fern sends their way is returned with a gentle and sympathetic smile from the Child of Gaia that is truly genuine. Keisha has her times when she uses deception as a tool (what have we said about her being among the most human of Garou?), but now is not one of those times.
The plan was to go in as "good cops" (but not cops), and it was one that Keisha readily agreed to for obvious reasons. Some call the Gaian naïve, and that could be an apt description depending on who you are, but the fact that Fern is here and being worked on rather than just having been ended outright speaks to the fact that, with this girl at least, she's not alone in the idea that there is hope. Keisha's counting on that hope because she wants to see this poor girl find her way…and in a small part because Goddess damn it, they need a win.
When Phoebe offers the gift and Fern suggests it be set down, Keisha smiles. That's a start.
"How are you, Fern?" She asks the question in a softer voice; not quieter, but gentler. The last thing they need is to spook the girl and ruin all of this.
