There is no thanks from Morrighan when August congratulates her for becoming Regent. She only continues to glare at him and feels the matched tension from Bram beside her. The two can be a deadly pair when provoked enough. She's getting so very close to crossing that line.He briefly tells his story and he's right, it isn't interesting. It's not enough to explain why he would abandon his home and not take such an important job seriously. Perhaps she had been too naive to trust him with the task. In a way, it worked out in her favor since karma clearly kicked his ass.
Unfortunately for her, their altercation is starting to bring about spectators. She remembers the last time she was strongly discouraged from causing a scene again and so Morrighan snuffs out her fire. Holding it in the air for so long has made her feel a bit tired anyways, so it would be best for her to not waste her energy.
August offers to tell the rest of his story over drinks and she looks at him dumbfounded. Here she is threatening him and he wants to buy her a drink? He must have been hit over the head a few too many times. All things considered, the Regent has no choice but to agree and stop giving the group something to look at.
"Fine," she grumbles and gestures for Bram to back off. He listens, but not without showing his disappointment.
Without waiting for August, Morrighan makes her way towards the bar. The summer heat has made her more parched than she realized, so it now feels relieving to be taking a drink break. When she arrives and swings the door open, she finds the bar mostly empty and her favorite seat vacant as well. The woman sits and waits for the man to finally make his way in. Bram goes to lay down in the corner where the stone floor feels cooler.
Once he's finally hobbled over, she asks, "Why did you come back then?" Her tone is like ice, but one could tell she's backed off a little bit. Only slightly, of course. She is still skeptical.
