Delphine
"Ah... Noah, it's nice to meet you." She murmured the words, as he addressed her children, much nicer than she would have. He was warm and friendly, and that was strange. Not strange in the sense of, nobody had ever been nice to her, but strange in the sense of... this was Halo, and no one thus far had been nice to her.
As he insisted they take the furs, she puffed her cheeks out. "Thank you, but... it isn't right to take without giving." She wasn't used to gifts, at all, not anymore at least... "Do you enjoy paintings?" It was the one thing she could bring him soon, as repayment, without bringing up sexual favors in front of her children.
"Mama, Poe's hungry." Acantha murmured, tugging her mother's elbow. The bird squawked loudly, that the girl was a 'liar, liar, liar', and snuggled back into his companion's chest. As Delphine draped the furs around her shoulders, the bird crooned happily at the warmth, and Bryony added: "Me too," in a much quieter tone than her sister.
With two little mouths hungry, Delphine puffed her cheeks out and turned a bright smile to the man. "Do you know anywhere where these two could get a meal?" She was already estimating how to get the girls' fed.

Let me make you smile, darling.
