DELPHIA
She took the brushing off well, used to it by now. Delphia knew she could only ever understand a fragment of what Mort's life and existence were like, and so she simply accepted it when he put a complex topic to rest. They had reached the edges of her comprehension, and that was fine.
That he stopped so suddenly surprised her, and she turned to him just as he took her face in his hands. She relaxed in an instant, watching him with a loving gaze as her own hands lifted to rest over his. Only when his lips pressed to her forehead did her eyes close, taking in the warmth of his affection and touch. So rarely were they together that she soaked it in while she could; she but a parched plant in a desert landscape and he bu the rain. "As always, I will have to trust that what you say is true." she said with a light laugh. There was much she simply had to trust, and her faith in Mort ran so deeply she was indeed blinded by it.
But she knew to take up his time for too long would indeed be selfish, and a selfishness he could not afford to allow her to wallow in. "So I am to seek companionship, perhaps in the form of a Cat Sith, the soul's of the Ascended within the Core, and be patient in hopes to see this splendorous rising sun." she said, laughing lightly at the last bit. "What else can I do for you, father? How else might I aid your work?"

Here in the forest dark and deep
I offer you
Eternal Sleep
