    “Really?” Zagreus couldn't quite wrap his head around it. How could someone be devoted to the house before even arriving?

    “Yes. He made my job easier, in some regards. Assisted, at the very least,” Death said.

    “Huh.” Zagreus crossed his arms and scuffed his sole against time-worn stone. “Guess that explains that. I don't suppose you'd be willing to go into elaborate detail regarding what exactly our avian gardener did in life to earn yours and Father's favour? Or, even just give his name?”

    “No.” A luminous wash of turquoise licked off Death's shoulders, his scythe. “Ask him yourself. I've work to do.”
