these voices won't leave me alone
Probably. Said twice by the goddess in short succession. It pained Delphia to hear it. The gods were to know all. They did know all when it came to their respective areas. That the Voice so eluded them, that she had disrupted the balance enough that her whereabouts and activities and thoughts were only probably. It was wrong. It was not the way the world was intended to be. ”It is as if we are chasing a ghost then…as some might say.” she said, a hint of a smirk curling her lips. Clearly the saying did not apply to her or her ken, chasing ghosts was what Delphia did. But the meaning would translate in a sense, as the Voice was just beyond their reach.
For now.
But at Safrin’s question, Delphia immediately nodded without hesitation, smiling adoringly up at her. ”A soul is a soul, and the dead are the dead. No change or taint would disguise that from me. Though, depending on what state they are in, what depths of madness they have sunk to, they might be a bit unruly.” she said with a slight shrug. They might throw things, knock things over…a bonafide tantrum of the dead. But she would find a way around that to ferry them away. ”If only one could tame a Cat Sith. Their ability to find and take lost souls from the most random of places would certainly be useful.” she said with a light laugh. It would allow her to collect more at once as well, spread her senses further, especially if they were kept in multiple places within the Spire. But alas, she had never seen a Cat Sith kitten to claim and raise up to be amenable to working for Mort rather than against him.
