She stares out at the moon through her window, but her thoughts are somewhere else. They're reliving the past season and all that has changed. Not only has the cold air and the snow come and gone, but there were many who also came and gone. Isra, Eik, their daughter Avesta and then Michael all went away on a voyage at sea. How lame.Morrighan has found some comfort during her times with Al'Zahra. Although she's still wrestling with her emotions, her feelings are too strong to ignore. She's fallen pretty hard for the woman and, judging from how she'll frequent Denocte, she wonders if Zahra has too. Either way, there's a kind of fiery chemistry she can't get enough of. It makes her want to be closer and causes her to feel sad when they're not together. It's kind of pathetic the more she thinks about it, but it's nothing she can push away. The emotions are too strong.
Is this what being in love is?
The word stings a little. She always scoffed at the couples that she saw in passing. They always seemed disgustingly obsessed with each other and fake happy, but now… now she's not so sure.
A movement brings her out of her thoughts. It's someone leaving their home to head out onto the streets. Her eyes narrow as she carefully watches them go. Morr's insomnia is nothing new, but typically she's the only one up at this particular hour. They also don't seem familiar, so she decides to follow them. One could never be too careful anymore.
When Morr opens the door, she's immediately greeted by unexpected cold air. Apparently winter hasn't completely left the night. It doesn't bother her too much being a child of fire. It has a way of keeping her body temperature up, so she feels quite comfortable. The other equine, however, seems to have a strange gate about them. Since they're facing away from Morr, she can't see their expression so it's harder to tell why they're acting this way. But instead of hiding in the shadows and waiting, she decides to go ahead and make her presence known.
"Can't sleep either?" she asks, picking up her pace to be in step with the other. They seem familiar, like she's seen them in the markets before, but they're no one she's had a chance to speak to. They look almost like a warrior and this makes her feel even more suspicious about why they're going out tonight.
