This particular shop was overrun with these little spirits. It was rather mystifying actually. There must be a fairy circle or other divine spring nearby to attract so many. ”Busy, busy, busy, always busy, such pretty, pretty shiny things…” she muttered under her breath, though perhaps still loud enough for Jiao to hear. The nail of her forefinger drew circles on her thumb, a thoughtless action that grounded her while she focused on the spiritual beings skipping around the shop.
”Savory breads, shiny things, occasionally some milk and honey, they aren’t too picky. Thanking them for their help would go a long way, I bet you would find a great many things.” she said softly. But then she remembered she was with another person, who likely thought she was mad. With suddenness she seemed to come back to herself and she looked over at Jiao sheepishly. ”Ah, yes, sorry. Delphia Thanatos. I am part of the family of undertakers on the far side of the wood, and daughter of Mort.” she said, dipping her head by way of introduction and placing herself within the Fae’s world. ”Tea would be lovely if it isn’t too much trouble.”
