alive and burning brighter
i am the fire

At Antiope's comment about her bonded, Morrighan can't help but laugh. Truthfully, their relationship has improved. While her teeth clench at the thought of telling him how she feels, she does appreciate having him around. Also it's just nice having him as muscle if she needs it. "Eh, you know," she replies with a shrug. From his spot, Bram rolls his eyes.
Then the food comes out and is placed before them. Her stomach growls and it seems she is indeed hungry. All of it smells great and she can't help but take a bite of the pie right away. Morr realizes that was a mistake as the food is still extremely hot. She finds herself holding her mouth open while trying to breathe out to cool it off. It ends up being an awkward combination of slow chewing and cringing as the hot food sits on her tongue. Her eyes well up while Antiope continues speaking and Morr just tries to keep a straight face. This definitely tops as the most embarrassing moment of her life.
It's bad timing too as Antiope is trying to reflect on her journey and the courts. She speaks such heartfelt words and here Morr is unable to properly eat food. Thankfully, after a few more painful chews, she swallows and she's free from the burning food. Quickly, she takes a sip of the iced tea and it soothes her mouth. She nods to what the woman is saying to make sure to show she's listening. For now, she'll refrain from taking another bite until she knows for sure the food is cooled off.
Her Queen mentions keeping good relationships with the other Courts. Morr feels indifferent about them, but it's really just because she doesn't know them well. Maybe in time she will through Antiope, but for now she just hopes none of them try to pull anything. She's especially unsure of Solterra and their new king given their reputation. Many have told her the stories of before where the two Courts were at odds with each other. Raum certainly didn't paint a different picture of that in her mind. But, she trusts Antiope's judgment. Maybe she will manage to change Morr's mind and get her not to be so skeptical.
She tries to sift through all the events from the time Antiope has been gone. It's felt like a lot, but in reality, everything went fine. "Well," she says, clearing her throat. "We had some idiots get into a bar fight and break some tents in the market, so that was fun. Got it under control though." Morr remembers that night very well, but that had really been the only "crazy" thing that had happened. "Other than that, not much. Same old, same old." There were many times she wanted to set something on fire, but she was able to keep herself under control. That alone should make Antiope proud.
She leans over to feel the temperature of the pie again and is pleased to find that it's started to cool off. As she takes another bite, she hopes she hasn't made too much of a fool of herself by now.
“Speaking.”
