DELPHIA
Delphia fell silent again, and remained silent long after Wessex had spoke. It was an unexpected twist. Coming back from the dead wasn't exactly a common occurrence, knowing Mort was loathe to allow such things without some sacrifice to even the scales. So that Wessex had done so was not something she had anticipated or taken into consideration prior to this conversation. But after a few moments of contemplation passed, she nodded, if only to herself, sure of her answer.
"My guess is you were not dead very long." Delphia said with a slight shrug. "The sort of torment I spoke of takes some time to set in, and as you note, time amongst the spirits is...a funny thing. If you were dead but a few days...I am sure it was peaceful as you say." she said. But if she had been dead for months? Years? That was a different thing entirely.
"And I have no doubt she loves you all dearly. But I doubt she has made such a haven. If it were so, why would she have given any of her ascended souls to Ludo to take to Mort?" she asked, head tilting to the side. "She may have created something to mimic Mort's realm, but in the long run...I cannot imagine she would have given souls to him if she had not been concerned for their wellbeing." she said.

Death has nothing to do with going away
the sun sets and the moon sets
but they're not gone
