Delsgade is a giant three-dimensional magic circle, so even after thousands of years, it remained unchanged. There is a special magic at its core that allows it to automatically regenerate, even when its most important components are destroyed.

A most innocent smile crossed her face, how could she do anything other than tease at a moment like this. "Hoh? And what if I say that I was told stories by both of my parents?" she asked as if she was most amused. "I mean I am more than capable of reading between the lines but there is hardly a reason to warn me of embellishment. I do know how people like to brag about their achievements,' she mused. Of course, as the mother of Gilgamesh she couldn't help but be somewhat privy to that sort of attitude regardless. Still, nothing she'd been told about Anos by either of her parents was wrong or overtly embellished. From what she'd pieced together he was a good man with a roguish attitude and commanding presence. There was hardly anything wrong with that. And it was he who decided to take Destroyers out of the equation for the sake of creation. He couldn't be bad. What could be bad was Anu whom she'd reduced to dog only to have three simple words change her perspective immediately, "I see the fairness in these words. I do wonder if there is an animal alive which would be suited to such a comparison..." she gave it considerable thought but obviously wasn't familiar enough with the flora and fauna of the world to come up with something appropriate. She'd find it one day.
Moving on from this point, she'd taken in his visage, and once again, her lingering gaze was given note. She couldn't help where her eye was drawn, it was a thing to marvel at after all. Still she was not quite as soft as her previous incarnation. She'd have something cheeky to say. "I'd enjoy the sight irrespective of the presentation. It is after all, nice to have a bit of mystery every once in a while.." she stated plainly. Such was obviously why her own choice in clothing existed.
Beyond this point, there was the information of how he'd chosen to drop Anu back where he had been. "Well, no one can fault you. It is pretty cowardly to incite violence against yourself and then run..." she said of the choices of Anu, specifically when concerning his moving fortress. "Besides, I did ask you to do that... I simply hadn't considered the consequences fully. Not that I mind I am far from sympathetic at this point," she stated her peace on that matter and was willing to leave it with just a parting chuckle. After all, they were fully alone now and could continue with the proper consummation of their marriage. And it seemed that though Anos liked to tease he would not be leaving her waiting. And their first stop was the Void within the castle.
Of course after that snap they arrived in a very dim place. That wasn't really bothersome the only thing strange besides the weight of the air here... was the broken state of this castle he'd formed whole on Alaya just a few moments prior. "Oh? You've redecorated..." she said, oh that was a bit snarky wasn't it. "So, do you like this castle this way or is it broken simply because it is here?" she asked as a pure point of curiosity. "I could fix it, if you're interested~" Ah. This was strange but here she felt like she could do most things without even the necessary steps or materials. Even just the first taste of extra power would be enough for her to create a solid living space for the pair of them and she would do. After all, creation was the foundation of her being, it wasn't as if she could or would give it up.
"Then I would say you're likely to have been misinformed twice," Anos replied without a moment of hesitation. His brother Anshar was one to embellish tales, but Kishar had been a different story entirely, never shying from singing his praises. Frankly, it had once been a point of embarrassment to deal with either of them─ especially when one was once meant to be his betrothed. "For you to say that, you must have heard very little," he stated with a sigh.
Anu had been dropped from the upper atmosphere of the world, and Anos' only concern seemed to be the banter occurring between himself and Sin. His interest in this new demeanor of hers was unwavering. Moreover, her mention of the benefits to a little mystery was worth considering. After all, the small amount of coverage to her current ensemble was a thing of great interest to Anos. "Haha! In that case, I would hope you kept the blindfold," was his retort. If she desired mystery, he could offer it in spades, and not in terms of what one would find in her new home.
Speaking of Sin's new home, they were very soon to be within its infinite depths. The pair remained standing in Delsgade's throne room, though it was a bit... spread-out, so to speak. Such was simply the way things were, assuming they were actually made tangible in this realm. "The redecoration was what you saw before," Anos claimed. "We are in the Void. Here, only the most powerful entities are tangible in their natural state. Delsgade is the mightiest structure, but... this is the result of being without creation. You are free to make alterations as you see fit. Rebuild this old building to your comfort."
Anos made the claim that she'd gotten the wrong story twice? Once from each parent, surely two people couldn't be wrong about a single person. "Oh come now... there is no way they can both be wrong," Sin said with happiness and teasing in her voice. "Though I will admit that mother was a bit on the dramatic side. Actually, when she was reborn through me she maintained that bit. Very prone to tears, my eldest son ended up being..." she said making the sentences more amusing as time went on. Of course, she wasn't lying her eldest son was an exceedingly emotional individual but in the whole of her lifetime she'd never heard anything untrue from that person. "Admittedly, I am now wondering what you find so disconcerting about my parents tales of you?" she aked again from a point of curiosity. After all, her mother only had nice things to say about this man and her father spoke of him as if he was the best possible person. Surely they both couldn't have the wrong idea. She'd always found such tales appealing.
Moving on from this point, her flirty behavior seemed to be more than a little acceptable. According to Anos her talk of mysteries meant she should have kept her blindfold. "Oh? I mean I can always make one, if I need it. Is there something I don't need to see? I'm curious~" she wondered just a little. She'd never thought about the usefulness of a blindfold for a sexual purpose. It probably only occurred to her in a moment like this because her loins were in a perpetual state of agony.
Ah, but agony was something she could distract herself from and it was mostly because she was thinking of what to do about the spread of the Castle Delsgade. According to Anos, the version she'd seen had been the one redecorated. He claimed that only the strongest of things could exist whole in the Void and the castle was mighty but not quite so individually. "Oh?" she seemed to be looking at the structure for just a few moments. She'd been given permission to make whatever changes she liked. "Well, maybe we can just start with the bones, the rest can come later..." she mused. Of course with such words came glowing in those eyes of hers. As she looked at pieces of the castle and fit them back together. She took a few steps forward while she did this causing a few elongations of hallways, a few towers to be built up and several other strange things to happen. It was like the pieces of the castle were fit together in the image Sin wanted them to, and not necessarily what they were meant for. A bit of creativity would be used to fortify and recreate this castle. A few moments later Sin looked and gave a bit of a nod. "I like that. Do you like it?"
There were many ways both of Sin's parents could be wrong in their tales. Would Anos explain many of the misinformation she may have been given? Well, he did swear his honesty. Perhaps Anos didn't have to adhere to oaths and the like, but that wouldn't keep him from doing so anyway. "Where would I even start? I'm sure one, or both of them would have told you of some great feat from before your time. Maybe they told you of my conquests against the Jovian armies, claiming I managed to arm-wrestle one of them into submission to turn their forces away. Am I near the mark with that one?" he wondered.
Sin could easily create a new blindfold if needed, but she hadn't a clue why she would need to be blinded. Ah, how innocent the former goddess was. Once more, Anos' grin grew wider. "You may wish to see nothing at all for awhile. Think of how much mystery there'll be if you don't have a clue what I'll do to you next~" he flirted. The number of ideas in his head were nigh infinite, but even something previously unknown could be understood in part the moments before it occurred. What would full sensory depravation do? He was keen to find out eventually.
With little provocation, Sin acted as the sole Creator of the Void. Her eyes glowed in the most enchanting fashion as the segmented castle was used as building blocks to a full, proper structure─ the first of its kind in this realm of infinite nothingness. When it all came together, Anos' gaze remained fixed on Sin. He didn't truly care for the castle's design; it was only a place to be because he'd be bored floating around in empty space forever. Never did his gaze shift. In fact, he wasn't even trying to pretend he'd been looking at the castle at all. "It's the most beguiling thing in the Void. I do like it."
Anos had mentioned that he did not have to be bound by the rules of their agreement, but he'd still be answering Sin's questions regardless. How very interesting. Soon enough she'd be asked if she knew of a specific tale concerning his feats against the Jovians in one of the many World battles which took place before the landing of Velber. The smile on Sin's face had never really shifted since they'd begun speaking, but if it was possible it became wider as she remembered such a story. A tale once shared by her mother and father with her about her 'uncle' as he would have been called by modern standards. "I am familiar with that one. It was one of the tales I liked most. Father said, you turned the army away single-handedly. Mother on the other hand, claimed you used a single hand and a single sacrifice to prove your might and turn the rest of the army away..." she said giving it a bit of thought. "I assumed the truth was somewhere in the middle, still a thrilling tale regardless~" she explained of her own logic.
Moving on from the tales of old, there was the matter of future exploration to consider. According to Anos, she might find it interesting to not see anything for a while. He made the claim that the mystery of not knowing what he'd do to her next would be bountiful. Her eyes darted towards the man in that moment and she blushed at the thought. Still her answer to such an idea would be to create the blindfold in question and rather gently tuck it into his pocket. "You make such interesting proposals. I'll leave that in your capable hands~" she flirted back. Yes, this version of her was just enamored enough to actively appreciate the kind of person she was. It probably had a bit to do with being born mid-coitus as part of her existence, but it was still there and thus still useful.
And then there was the matter of the castle. She'd fixed it up in a few moments with very little prodding indeed. In fact, she'd seemed to be buzzing with the desire to create for quite a while since coming into contact with Anos. Perhaps it was simply the way of things, the established order of creation and destruction to work in tandem properly. She hadn't remembered the last time she felt so inclined to make anything, but here and now she seemed to have both the inspiration and ability to do literally anything. Well... almost anything. There was something that even this form known as Sin was a bit too fresh for, and that was the not so subtle behavior of an enamored Demon King. He claimed something was the most beguiling thing in the Void and that he liked it, but when her eyes turned towards him, Sin found Anos staring at her quite unabashedly. Those still glowing eyes widened just a little bit as she felt the drumbeat of her heart speed up. "Oh my. I'm still not used to that... though I am glad," Ah. There it was, a bit of softness remained within the soul of Sin and it would be shown to Anos alone, specifically in moments like this.
