Morrighan,
As Antiope describes the qualities she'd be seeking, Morrighan finds herself checking imaginary boxes. It becomes more clear just how much she wants to take hold of this opportunity. She wants to be more here. Not so much for the power, but to just gain more responsibilities and a bigger name for herself. Creating a new life here at first seemed impossible. Being thrown into an unknown world wasn't her idea at all, but as much as she hated being wrong, it turned out to be better. There is something about the Night Court that she feels a greater sense of belonging to than she ever did back in Ourania.
The things Antiope lists off- caring about the Court, being reliable- Morrighan feels that fits her completely. That's all she's ever been focusing on, especially in her role as Warden. The safety of the Court is all she can think of and making sure any threats are taken care of. This place has become her home and her loyalty has grown immensely.
But now, the real question is how to show this to Antiope. How can she get the woman to trust her? Isra had, but Isra isn't here anymore.
"Well," she says, trying to keep herself from sounding too eager. "You can trust me, Antiope."
Morrighan looks back out at the markets and all those walking by aimlessly. Yeah, maybe in some weird way she cares about them all. Even down to the annoying twerps she finds sneaking things away from merchants, or the ones she has to yell at because they're not doing things right. If that ever went away, she'd almost feel lost. It gives her that sense of purpose.
"This place has become my home over the seasons. I can't imagine not being here and looking over this Court. They've become…" she trails off, finding the next word strange on her tongue. "My family." But, she trusts Antiope and feels comfortable confiding in her.
Looking back at the woman, she bows her head. "Just let me know what I can do." It would be a true honor to be able to make it up to Regent. Hopefully, she can win the mare's trust.
“Speaking.”

@Antiope <3 I think we could probably close this in our next replies?
