"Of course you will." Mort said warmly without a hint of disapproval or disappointment. One of his hands rubbed gentle circles into his daughter's back as he smiled. "You're still young, my daughter. You've lived the blink of an eye. To understand the nature of souls...it isn't something that's digested so easily. But you above all others have the capacity for it."
For a moment Mort's youthful expression looked strained, his deep hazel eyes flecked with worry. With a breezy sigh however, his stroking of Delphia's back continued and he smiled deeply. "The Core. That is good to know."
Pulling back and giving his freckled-offspring a paternal look, Mort took her hand in his and began to walk with her through the trees. "Do you have anyone to talk to Delphia? Other than the spirits?"
