Persephone perks up, floating to eye level. Hah, her theory was correct. And Mort, she wants to reach out and give him a pat as well. But boundaries.

"Are you doing anything important? Ryo was worried about you and wanted to see how you're doing. And honestly, I kind of feel the same way." She hesitates, then gestures downstairs, "There's a hot chocolate in it for you if you come. And Mort." Does Mort drink? Is Mort alive??? Questions that feel slightly rude to ask.
