”Oh no, they are friendly little things. I would be quite pleased to have them in my shop if I had one.” Delphia said softly to assure her. It was also no surprise to her to not receive the name of the fae woman in return. They were private and wary of non-fae after all, and clearly she was not one of her kin, even though they were speaking in their native tongue.
But the suddenly realization on behalf of Jiao made her blink in surprise, which then melted into the hint of a smile. ”If the Mort is the god of death then yes, the Mort.” she said softly, not by way of bragging, just in confirmation. Delphia was used to this sort of a reaction, and though she felt blessed to have such a powerful and beloved father, to her it was not so amazing. He had needed assistance while Ludo had been in the barrier, and he had created her to fill that need. That he still loved her and treated her with such depth of care and kindness as if she were truly a creation of him, and not a child’s soul fished from his realm, was a testament to the compassion of Mort more than anything.
