Of course, this would all be far more useful if it was brought up - but it's an interesting clash of world views. There's no time in Delita's world (both literally, and figuratively) for such foolishness, while she advocates it as a means to escape the world. Maybe one day they'll get to talk about it.
But her question surprises him, only because for all he knows, she may have said "Who is Gloobleflorp Wizzerdrix?" It's a name that has absolutely no meaning to him, to the point where he doesn't even know why she would assume he knows anything about who this person is. But given that they aren't the closest of friends, and what he does know about her, he can gather a guess. Normally he'd sit on this information, but he suspects he knows who it is. And ... well, it's not like it's hard to explain why he knows.
"Your beloved." It's important to note that even though this is completely a guess, that Delita doesn't make it sound like a guess. He sounds as if he's completely sure as to who it is - perhaps not on a buddy-buddy basis, but certainly not just a shot in the dark. Her reaction will tell him more - much more - than her words do.
