Javed declines, citing his vision troubles and his inability to recognize faces, so Hector suggests Phoebe lead them down into the basement levels. Phoebe's brows lift and her eyes go wide, but at least this time she doesn't blurt out What? like she had the last time someone's words took her by surprise. Maybe she's settling a little more into her rank. Gold star, Pheeb.
The surprise, she realizes, comes from the fact she's thinking this will automatically be a mission that ends in combat. Maybe it won't. Maybe they'll find a hole to hell that's nice and quiet.
Hah. Anyway, that Erich starts a statement that contains the words Phoebe's gonna be on point with the No question regarding a reconnaissance mission that seems like it came straight out of the Diablo series of games surprises her a little as well, though not so much.
"If it means the difference between losing more Garou and not losing more Garou, I can absolutely make that call," she says with conviction. But she looks at Erich, and then she looks at Javed. Her mouth lifts in a smile.
"That said, you all should know that spirits, good and bad, are drawn to me like a magnet, which could prove incredibly problematic and probably isn't something any of you want your leader to be distracted by. Javed, if you're concerned about your vision issues, you'll have a pack of scouts to tell you what lies ahead, and a pack of Theurges to tell you what's on the other side of the Umbra. I don't think I'm alone in saying I trust you to lead us."
