Morrighan,
When Antiope speaks to her, it sounds different, almost like a wise elder. Maybe in some way she is one given her immortality. Morrighan can only imagine all the things the Regent must have seen in her many years of life. Although she was immortal too, it didn't feel like that much time had passed to her.
But what Antiope says of gods walking among them in mortal forms seems crazy. Why would they want to do that when they were supposedly all powerful beings? It all brings about many questions that she's not sure she wants to get into. At the same time though, she can't deny that she feels a presence and it likely could be Caligo. Nothing else would make much sense.
Part of her is surprised to hear that Antiope used to be something like a queen. She certainly never acted like one, but in a way it does fit her. She's dependable and someone Morrighan respects. It takes a lot for her to feel that someone is worthy of her respect anyway.
"Well, Isra picked you for a reason," she replies, confident that Isra wouldn't leave the kingdom in the wrong hands. "I think you'll do great." Morrighan's comment is genuine, although nice comments are quite rare coming from her.
Then when it comes to the conversation about a new Regent, in reality, she hadn't been thinking of it that much until now. It had crossed her mind here and there, but is that it? Is she putting in an application? "Maybe," is all she says at first, thinking things over carefully. After all, she's just as loyal and dedicated. If anything, she's proven that while being Warden by taking so much care in protecting the borders and working to keep things under control. While some are intimidated by her, there are also some who respect her. Being promoted to such a rank like Regent would make the most logical sense.
"I feel I'm pretty qualified through my time as Warden. What would you be looking for?" Morrighan asks with a glimmer of hope. Ambition has been a trait of her's, so naturally when she gets an idea of wanting something, she needs to go for it. At first, it had been finding a real purpose in this new world and making a new life for herself. Now that she's started to establish that, she wouldn't be doing herself any favors by settling or holding back.
Her and Antiope weren't close friends yet, but friends nonetheless. She must be able to see the good and valuable qualities she possesses. Morr would be honored to stand alongside her and help take care of the kingdom together. She knows Isra saw potential in her, so hopefully Antiope does too.
“Speaking.”
