"Aw, Nina's a sweet kid, though," Saturday says automatically. "Wouldn't trade her for the world."
She means it, too. Nina's something about all of it that's never gone sour, or ended in tragedy. She's just a smart, interesting kid.
Saturday doesn't mention the part about her being Death's granddaughter 'cause Sol's ex-wife ended up being her daughter from that time Death decided to be mortal for a while to see what that was like. Or the part where that means she can control the extra-dimensional soul-devouring horrors giving everyone such a headache. She also hasn't talked about the artifact quintet, Gray, Thera, Caim and Gwynn, Mangheath, or Maggie turning out to have been a dragon who is also an ork, after they'd only just processed her being an ork who can sometimes turn into a dragon.
Honestly, the only real secrets she's given away here are her own, and - okay, probably she's supposed to be secretive about like, the vault and the bug spirits and the horrors, but the people who'd be wanting her to keep those things secret are also assholes whom she does not respect.
"Who's Declan?" She nods towards the watching crowd of drones, who are silent and seem enraptured, waiting for the next moment. They seem to be enjoying it.
