Ignatius holds up the back of his hand, the marking on it clearly visible.
"Can you tell me anything about this symbol? Let's just say I've got some personal reasons to think it's not an ordinary birthmark, we don't have time for me to explain how with that spider here."
Let her talk, and if the spider gets too close use a stick to keep it at bay. If it crawls onto the stick, throw the stick aside since I don't know how venomous this spider is.

You hear more clattering. After a few seconds, Delia opens the door. "Huh? Who are you? Oh, wait. That one. Hunting Horror."
She looks... kind of awful. She has huge dark circles under her eyes. Smells a bit off. Her clothes are messed up, hair's a mess. Did she... has she been here since yesterday?
"...What?" she asks.
Ignatius
You try to show her your birthmark. "I meant after you cut me down!" The spider dashes at her, but you poke it back with a stick. Which just kind of makes it angry. It rears up, and she starts shrieking louder. So you whip out your knife and cut her down, while carefully fending off that small cat of a spider.
You snatch her as she starts to fall and retreat away from the predator. She's still pretty well cocooned in the strands of web. She's not getting away or anything. You try showing her the birthmark again while she starts the arduous task ask freeing herself.
She looks at it quietly for a few seconds, and seems to be deep in thought. "...It looks like a lizard."

"I know that, I was hoping you'd know if that means anything significant."

"Do you remember the girl with the cat at the fair? She was one of the people in that dream. Did she tell you her name? I also met your sister."

"Great... back to square one, I guess. I don't suppose you know anyone who would, either? Maybe that other human you mentioned?"

Delia stares at you blankly for a few seconds. "Catlady? I told you I don't remember her name. And I didn't get her number."
Then you mention her sister. She stares at you blankly again. Her head slowly tilts to one side. "Sis...ter...?"
Ignatius
You ask if she knows anyone who would know.
"Nope!"
...And if she thinks the pixie-eater would know.
"Iunno."
She seems awfully cheerful considering she's still bound with webs and literally in the palm of your hand.
"...Hey! I only promised to answer one question! That was 3!" She starts pouting. "Now you owe me. Twice."

"You didn't forget you have one, did you? You were supposed to pick her up from the hospital. She's blind. None of this is ringing any bells?"

"Fine, what do I owe you? And before you ask, you answering that question doesn't count as a fourth one."

"Fine, what do I owe you? And before you ask, you answering that question doesn't count as a fourth one." I read this, thinking it was Robbie's response to Morgan asking about sheep. |

Delia's head slowly sways back to the other side. She seems lost in thought. "Ah...?" She seems to be completely lost in thought. She looks rather concerned. "Ah... Ah? Ahhhhh...?" She begins pacing in... place. Kind of just spinning in a slow circle as she thinks. "Why... does... that... sound familiar...?"
She suddenly starts patting herself on the chest, before producing a small notepad. She starts flipping through while muttering to herself. "Sister... Sister... Sister... Hu-u-u-u-u-uh." She finally snaps it shut. "Nope, I don't have a sister."
Ignatius
"I waaaaaaant... a screw! A shiny, swirly one! Annnnnnnd a candied chestnut!" she says excitedly.

"What? Her name is Elizabeth Watson. How do you not remember her?"

"Yep, yep! Friendly humans who bring me pretty-pretty and shiny trinkets and candy are always welcome in my glade!" Her mood has done a complete 180 and she's beaming brightly. She's still tied up, which she seems to have completely forgotten. You're half-tempted to just leave her like that when you go and see if she even notices.
Cyrus
Delia holds up her notepad, on a page that looks like a family tree. "Do you see a sister on here?"
Uh.
What.
Why does she have this - why is she carrying this? It's not even a huge list with her extended family or anything. It's one set of grandparents, her mom (with a note saying '(dead)') and dad (crossed out), an uncle, and herself.

"...Why do you have a family tree? It seems pretty empty. But you do have a sister. I know you do. She's real. I can even show her to you if you want. She's living in my house."
