"Oh, that's nice. That The Voice is nice to you like that. I mean, I assume so, if she treats you like her children." Some parents weren't all that nice to their children, and that was setting aside Quanil's parents, who had basically treated him like a friendly acquaintance they were boarding, and not a child of theirs.
But the phrase the man used about Mort made Quanil's face screw up in disgust. "Sorry, I know you don't mean it like that, but 'Mort's embrace' makes me think they're... um... doing things I don't want to think about." Although, as usual, that drew a question. "Do Gods even... do that? I mean, I know there are demi-gods, so I guess ...maybe they do... unless demi-gods are made some other way? Does The Voice have sex, do you know? or do you kind of lose interest in that when you become a God and you just do it when you want to have a kid?"
