Delphine
Delphine shook her head, murmuring quietly, "I should learn to listen better." She adjusted the children, helping them set their bowls down, before she helped the two of them to their feet.
The girls quietly wandered to sit in front of the fire, watching it. Her gaze followed the children, and she smiled ruefully. "Sometimes, I hate being their mother. I wonder if I love them, if they're holding me back in life," she tore her gaze from the children, her gaze focused on the man, studying him.
"But mostly, I think that I don't connect with them. They were... one month old, just new to the world, to me... and then we ended up here," Of course she meant Caido as a whole, "and suddenly, my little babies are... three years old and growing." She kept an eye on the children, murmuring under her breath, "But there's not anyone else, no one helps me with them, or would take them. So I've kept them, raised them... Done an awful job, really." She laughs lightly, though it doesn't sound like an amused laugh.
Stretching, she raises her arms above her head, sighing. "Thank you for the meal, and the warmth. I think it's time for us to take our leave, though. We have some... preperations to do before Deepfrost. Decisions to make."

Let me make you smile, darling.
