to call my own

Thank heaven for fur, otherwise Phim's blush would be out there for the world to see. If she hadn't been so nervous, she probably would've been able to take the joke more smoothly, but instead she giggled and looked at the ground for a moment. "I actually just found it," she said quietly. A deep breath though and she pulled herself together. Her gaze met Peregrine's again and she smiled. "Sorry, I've never really done this before, I'm very nervous."

She needed to choose her own position? Going in, she hadn't really thought about that too much. She'd expected that maybe a basic spot would just be assigned to her and that she'd need to work into something specific. But if she had some say now, she may as well take advantage. "I enjoy exploring, but I really have a passion for healing. I've been studying the plants in this region quite a bit while I've been here. I'm open to helping wherever I'm needed though."
