t's unclear what exactly drew her to the markets on this night. Normally all the commotion was something she'd rather stay away from. The Court's celebrations were unfamiliar and she was never one to love crowds anyway.But something pulled her here. Perhaps it was the crackling of the fires or the unique blend of spices rising up through the smoke. There was music and dancing, which did not interest her that much. However, it almost felt like her heart was beating to the rhythm of the drums and it was an odd new feeling.
Morrighan stepped towards one of the bonfires. The magic inside her thrummed the closer to the flames that she got. It called out to the element, wanting her to reach out and take control. Unfortunately, she was not that powerful yet, although she would give anything to be back at her full potential. She would need to practice regularly and hopefully soon she could regain her skills.
A figure leaving the dancers caught her attention, breaking her out of the trance from the fire. Their head tilted upwards towards the sky and Morrighan followed to see the many lanterns floating up in the air. Such strange customs they had… though she would give them the credit of creating something beautiful and unique. It truly was mesmerizing to watch.
She stepped forward and joined the company of the one she saw, recognizing them as the Night Court queen, Isra. While still somewhat of a stranger, she was the one to let Morrighan in those months ago after first arriving. In some way, she owed a debt to the woman. This fact partially concerned her, but for now, she let herself get lost in the night.
"Your customs still confuse me…" she said, breaking the silence and meeting the mare's eyes. "What exactly are the lanterns for?"
@Isra I've just been kind of going with that they've met very briefly before when Morrighan arrived in Novus and Isra let her join, but they're still acquaintances. Hope that works!
