That was a very valid point. Qixia had heard the label of 'home' often amongst humans and there was sentimentality in it, importance. "Oh!" The thought struck like lightning, "The castle is your home and your home is a treasure!" Her grin was broad and a little silly, as if she were a child completely pleased with herself. "That's it, isn't it?"
Qixia confessed then, "I don't have a home, so I don't fully understand." It was said in a very matter of fact tone.
"You said it was lonely. No one comes to visit you, they only to take things or make you go away." See, she had been listening and squirrelling away what she'd heard and learned of Mulciber. "A home has never seemed to be a lonely place from what I've seen of humans." Qixia hadn't asked humans about homes, only observed them. Other human-like creatures were similar. Some even moved their home from place to place, "Couldn't you make a new home? One where you aren't lonely?"
