It's good that Keisha wasn't at the place of business, although Phoebe was more than pleased to speak with the other Theurge's uncle. She is polite but distant, a trait he may or may not recognize from his niece. She makes no attempt to disguise how crestfallen she is when she's told the woman she seeks isn't here, but it melts away into a vague sort of pleasure when she's given Keisha's address. She gets her number, too, if he's willing to share it, so that she can give Keisha some sort of heads up about her impending arrival.
She accepts the offered hospitality, asking for something with caffeine if she has it - tea or soda or coffee will do, though it won't do much to energize her, not today - or water if she doesn't. When they get to the business of her visit, Phoebe's mouth quirks and she nods. People had to leave. It's something that she understands completely. Mention of her pacisfism gets a frown, though perhaps not the reason Keisha might think.
"But you're a Theurge," is what she says, as if this should explain away anyone's misgivings about Keisha's vow. "I would be more concerned with an Ahroun pacifist than a Theurge. Gaia gave us all claws, but she made some of them sharper than others."
