Delphine
Delphine furrowed her brow at his question. No, a statement. Why was he asking questions? "I'm sorry, Noah." She moved to guide him towards the couch, helping him to sit. "Let me get you something to eat, and some tea."
Despite the hour, the woman hurried to prepare tea and a bit of soup, with a side of bread. She doesn't ask if he wants food, because he's so drunk he's either drank the entire bottle or hadn't eaten prior. She remembers coming to Caido and losing her entire life.
All her friends. All but Remi. "Here," she murmured, settling beside of him, bowl in one hand and mug of tea in the other. She leaned to rest it on the table, and carefully slipped an arm around him.
And for a second, she had to stop. For a moment she'd forgotten she wasn't a housewife, was not comforting her husband. "Will you eat?" She pulled a bit of bread from the small loaf, and offered it to him.
Delphine lived to mother, to nurture, to fix. Despite the issue surrounding her children. This was almost her normal, in her old life, it was familiar. Which was a bit sad.

How can I begin again?
How can I try to love someone new,
someone who isn’t you?
