Seren
Blinking, the girl looked puzzled. How could he know that, without knowing who she was? Did that come with being a priest? "I am, yes. My name is Seren Taliesin... Safrin is my mother." More than benefactor, more than guide or task-master; her bond with her goddess went beyond religion. Yet even so, it made her blush with delight to hear it said with such confidence that her mother cared for her. Delighted, and... a little uneasy, truth be told. What did this person know of any of it? "How did you know?"
But she was nothing if not easily distracted, and the offer of a history lesson immediately took presedence. "Really? Thank you!" Seren beamed anew at the man, seemingly oblivious to how she had disrupted his work. She held out her notebook to show him what she had collected thus far. "I was reading on the headstones, see? So this name, Captain Wilkinson James, was commended for bravery in action, and judging by the date it was seventy years ago. But I don't know what the event was about. Same with these others; if I look up what happened to them, then I have a thread to start with as I learn more history. Does that make sense?"
It was quite possible that the demi-god was crazy, but in this case it was mostly a sense of convoluted and highly individualistic logic. Personally, Seren thought herself quite brilliant in the moment.

I'm ready to start the conquest of spaces
Reaching the starlight and silver fields
