[ the sibling. all too worrying for aemond, whose relationships with siblings have been contentious, put lightly. ]

Daisy. As like the flower?

You are certain they are a woman, this spirit?

[volkarin]

Indeed! Daisy, a flower typically associated with innocence — I thought it a suitable name given her demeanor.

And, frankly, no. She presents herself as a young girl, but appearances mean very little when it comes to such beings. Yet, on the other hand, she does not act as though she's limited by her physical form — in fact, she acts very much how I expect a young lady would, with the exception of her arcane knowledge and capabilities.

[ aemond is suddenly struck with the silly idea that perhaps this person is not entirely well, because —— innocence? for a spirit who oversees the dead and the resurrected? is there anything innocent about such a grievous thing?

he must ask dorian about this man's character later. ]

A spirit would know its dominion well, that is not so surprising. Can she be sought out for answers? If one wishes to know about a person's death forthcoming, would she entertain such a thing?

[volkarin]

I'm afraid any questions you may have for her will have to be asked through me; I've been expressly forbidden from revealing her whereabouts. Regardless, premonition — if that is what you mean — is not a part of her domain.

You are her intermediary in true, then.

[ he has no interest in pursuing this so-called spirit, god or otherwise, but it is curious that one should insist to not be disclosed. the implication hanging between the words to be that she can be found, and in that being found might lend to some weakness, or some danger. ]

What else is her domain, if one might ask? Is she one that we might pray to?

[volkarin]

Considering the presence of the Mesial, I'm inclined to guess that Daisy's power extends only so far as she — and by proxy, I — have described. As for prayer, I feel certain in saying that she'd hardly shirk it, though whether or not she has any ability to affect any change in answer, I couldn't clearly say.

[ a god that listens, but acts only as sees worth her time. no different from the gods of his home, then, mercurial in their interventions and desires. the gods choose their favourites and play their games unfairly.

still, this is knowledge granted, and it is up to the common man to figure out an answer from what's been given. ]

'Tis a worthwhile endeavour to know what gods reside and rule over this here lands. Thank you for answering my questions. I'll not bother so soon about these matters, if we're lucky.
