a little mayhem never hurt anyone
a little bedlam 'til i'm coming undone

The sound of hooves beating against the ground brought her attention back to the woods behind her. Her ear fell back to the direction of the noise where a dark figure emerged. At first, he was something like a shadow, maybe an attempt at seeming menacing and mysterious, but Morrighan had a knack for remembering faces.
"Oh, it's you," she said flatly, bringing her guard down slightly. "What was your name again? That other bitch better not be on your tail."
She recognized him from the brief meeting at the temple. While his name slipped her mind, that day was not one she'd forget easily. Not with how stuck up the woman named Israfel was and how she showed off her magic. It was back when Morrighan's fire had not been restored just yet. Although, even now that she had it back, it was nothing compared to this woman's magic. To this day she still had bitter feelings towards her.
Luckily for this man, her feelings were neutral. He didn't say much during that meeting and likely just wanted to slink away so as to not be involved. He had yet to do anything to piss her off, but at least she had her fire magic back if he stepped out of line.
He made a comment wondering if the fruit she just ate was poisonous. Morrighan simply snorted, looking down at the ground where some stray pieces had fallen. Wouldn't that be a shit day for her.
"I suppose we will. Maybe it'll end my suffering sooner," she replied dryly. There was no hesitation in her tone, so it was likely that he could mistake her dark humor for seriousness. In truth, this would only amuse her more. Perhaps it had been a little naive of her to eat it, but she wasn't too keen on dying of starvation either.
Now that moments had passed, it seemed he had come alone after all. The only sounds in the distance were from the weird island birds and the soft rustle of the leaves from the wind. She watched him closely and his expression in response to her words.
"What brings you here?" she asked rather simply, her eyes meeting the man's. The mare didn't want to reveal her purpose for being here yet just in case she could get some information out of this man. Really, she just wanted the relic for herself and didn't want to involve anyone. However, sometimes others were stupid and would say too much about their pursuits. Maybe she'd get lucky.
