Delyth very rarely had a problem with healthy curiosity. Except, perhaps, when it was in the same room as her and asking her questions. At least he wasn't so far gone that everything boiled down to a rather tedious 'Why?' "Should your parents ever die and leave you debts enough to drive you into destitution, I shall show you," she answered without batting an eyelash.

Now last year he may have seemed suicidal, but now-- "You should listen to the wisdom of experience in this matter," Delyth corrected, "and sit." or she would be giving his father a blow-by-blow account of precisely what happened, and she had yet to meet anybody who could beat her memory when it came to events such as this.
"Sir Amadeo's hearing is legendary," she informed the Lady who would probably soon regret sitting so close to her.

She paused, glass hovering before she took a mouthful of wine. "Your father may well be horrified, but I suppose your pyre will burn nicely."
"Watchers, get the boy a water." The word 'water' had suddenly become an irritation.
