Dellen

[oi_theoi]

Dellen [de-len] Water, Glass, Human Protection, Human Creation	❧ Played by Aviy
Appearance: Female and human, roughly in her 40's and too thin. She has pale skin and hair, but the coloring is just a little inhuman. The main color to her is a pair of incredibly deep blue eyes. She wears loose, off-white, Grecian-style clothing that makes her look both paler and smaller than she is. Her hair is often in disarray, and her overall appearance often appears untended. Despite looking small, underfed, and wafty, when Dellen isn't having an episode, she has a very commanding and warm presence. There is, at all times, a surprising 'weight' about her that marks her unmistakably as divine. Characteristics: Nurturing, monogamous, lesbian, obsessive, demanding, needy, devoted, nonfatal self sacrifice, yandere. Likes: Faithful loving monogamous relationships, being understanding of her, sacrifice for the betterment of others, expressions of love (even twisted ones). Dislikes: Death (human only), poly/orgies/unfaithfulness, material selfishness, rejection, lack of understanding, talking badly about humans, nature.
Shrine: Pale sandstone slab at ground level, behind it is a stack of precarious sandstone making a narrow pillar. On top of the pillar is a large bowl (but with cracks instead of bubbles) filled with crystal clear water. Ritual: Stand on the slab and place your (CLEAN) hands in the bowl to get her attention. Once the agreement is made, place your sacrifice on the slab and sprinkle some water from the bowl onto it.

[looking you over, DO YOU NEED HEALS TOO]

I think perhaps avoid danger for now. Three kindnesses in my name will do.

Re: Late Day 55

[confirmed_bachelor]

[he is rather bleedy, though everything except the stab wound in his leg is surface-level lacerations and a severe shortage of MP. relaxes a bit at that.]

Kindnesses I would be happy to carry out. Ah. Just - don't mention my name to him, when he wakes up?

[nods at Rory]

Re: Late Day 55

[oi_theoi]

[headtilt, and coming over to at least close that stab wound a bit. it's not a full heal but it won't be as deep]

Why is that?

Re: Late Day 55

[confirmed_bachelor]

[eases significantly in relief at that, despite it not being a full heal. he chooses his response very carefully, as he really can't talk about his work with Selyir.]

... thank you. And - I'm just doing my job, that's all.

Re: Late Day 55

[oi_theoi]

[=x]

It is very kind of you, so I like to return the favor a bit. Thank you.

Re: Late Day 55

[confirmed_bachelor]

[kind of embarrassed now]

Er - you're welcome? Is that polite to say to a goddess?

Re: Late Day 55

[oi_theoi]

Oh, good manners are excellent to have with anyone.

Re: Late Day 55

[confirmed_bachelor]

Well, yes. I agree in principle.

Re: Late Day 55

[oi_theoi]

I think you will find most of the gods here do appreciate them, child. There are, of course, exceptions. Ah, but don't worry over it much. They cannot help their natures but it is no call to change yours.

Re: Late Day 55

[confirmed_bachelor]

[bit of an amused noise]

All right. I won't, then. ... It's been a very long time since anyone's called me child, madam.

Re: Late Day 55

[oi_theoi]

I assure it has been a much, much longer time since I haven't called a human 'child'.

Re: Late Day 55

[confirmed_bachelor]

[bit of a laugh]

I suppose you do have precedence there.

Re: Late Day 55

[oi_theoi]

[=x]

Indeed.

Day 56. Morning.

[snaptoit]

[Yes, it actually took her this long to be nice 21 times.

But she is back and placing her hand in the water.]

[no_hero]

[tiredly dipping hand in water]

Dellen, I've come to collect for my payments...

[oi_theoi]

[appearing, and looking you over]

To remove your curse, wasn't it?

[no_hero]

That's right.

[tired. lacking sleep. certainly looks... worse than he did back when he requested the mission, but... curse. :/]

[oi_theoi]

[reaches out to pet]

All right, come have a seat.

[gestures to the slab on the floor where sacrifices are brought]

[no_hero]

[. . . everyone doing that. trrryyying not to reject but after last night and Kotomine Kirei pets, just kind of leaning head a bit away. following instructions, though]

I imagine this won't be completely painless...

Day 57, Evening

[tonewlengths]

[Tentatively dipping her hands in the bowl]

[oi_theoi]

I imagine it wont either, but I will do my best.

[no_hero]

[just. gives a nod.]

[oi_theoi]

Open your shirt.

[pulling the water out of her bowl, it floats near her hands and she kneels next to him]

[no_hero]

[following instructions still, just kind of watching that floating water '-']

[oi_theoi]

[the water runs of your chest! It's chilly, and seems to numb the skin on contact, which is probably good because she pulling mud out of your body through your pores and that probably sucks]
