So lost in her own little, self-absorbed need right then, Darcy only noticed a brief flicker of Phoebe's eyes from her stomach to her face again and in response, Darcy blushed just slightly. "Just what I need right now, right?" she asked, brushing a hand over her baby bump again. God, it was getting bigger every freaking day, it seemed like...
"Nice to meet you, too, Phoebe," she replied. "Thanks a million. Everybody keeps offering up words of wisdom but you're the first person I've met, you know. You're the first legit one, anyway, if that makes sense? Like, in person. I figure it only kind of counts when it's over the computer. So impersonal," she went on with a grateful smile.
As they moved together down one of the halls, Darcy listened, arching a perfectly manicured eyebrow. "So, you're like...familiar with this stuff?" she asked. "It's all foreign to me. I never read the Bible and I never really paid much attention in church," she admitted. "I stopped going as soon as I finished the sacraments and got old enough to tell my parents no," she went on.
A gentle and not-meant-to-be-condescending roll of her eyes later, Darcy agreed. "Different. That's one way to put it," she added with a small smirk. "I'm from Manhattan and I came from London...I'm used to glitz and glamor, then pubs and castles," she rambled. "All of this stuff is a little too...weird for me, still. But, I'm getting there, I guess. I'm at least not calling people nutcases anymore," she finished sheepishly.
Then, Darcy backtracked a little. "So, these things make it so that we can't be possessed, right? What about outright physical harm...? What's the protection for that?"
