Delphine
Delphine studied the children, shaking her head slowly. "I doubt that would be wise." Her children had once been the only thing she had ever wanted; something about having them as infants for only a month before coming to Caido, had ruined that experience for her. She resented them.
Bryony for being so quiet, so agreeable. Acantha for being outgoing, stubborn. Of course, resenting them made her resent herself. "I really shouldn't have brought them," the slight frown to her mouth reached her eyes, hazel hues forlorn. Perhaps she would have loved her children, if the start of their lives with her had not been interrupted. She sighed, shaking her head and forcing a smile, "Ah, alchemy. I miss hearing your theories, seeing you work." The smile was fake as could be, easily seen as fake, and it faded entirely as Acantha reached out to smack Remi's hand, to get his attention.
Because of course, Delphine raised hob-goblins who did not understand a social cue to save their lives. "You're a... birdie? How?" The child peered at her mother, before peering back up at Remi.

Let me make you smile, darling.
