After about ten minutes Brianna looked away from the computers and noisy monitors and grinned. "Regaining balance quickly! I mean, we are never going to be perfect or whatever, but this is great! Recovery time has improved!" She squealed.
Bailey walked over to one of the monitors and mumbled "Blood, black bile, and yellow bile pretty much at normal levels. Phlegm needs a bit more cooling off though."
"Oh don't worry about it! Phoebe will sleep it off!" Brianna exclaimed. "Its really no big deal!"
That's the one thing about Brianna, she carries the temperament of enthusiasm and optimism. She's sort of what I would like to call the "uplifter" of the group. She is constantly bringing people up and praising every little thing we do. Bailey on the other hand, is more cautious and pensive. She has a harder time just accepting things as they are, or accepting Brianna's optimism for that matter. That's why she checked the monitor after Brianna so graciously gave us a positive update. Bailey just couldn't believe it.
"Don't worry about Phoebe. She's just ultra lazy. She hates work of all forms. She really didn't mean anything." Brianna said. This was the fifth time she has said this. Kind of like some mantra.
We all knew better though. Phoebe resented Hera and it was just about time she popped.
But honestly, it just flat out sucked that she JUST HAD to pop. The last thing we needed was the Gods marching in on us and creating more trouble. Honestly, its hard enough to keep the world as balanced, well, as balanced as it can get.
