float away, open wide
The Regent's found herself in a bit of a rut lately, although she does her best to hide it in front of her daughter. There is a kind of spark in her that Morrighan forgot all children seem to have. She is still innocent and young and part of her feels jealous of that. It's something that everyone has when they're first born and then they lose it once they grow up. For Morr, she feels like she lost it earlier than most just with the nature of her kingdom. Anyone who wasn't a soldier tended to be looked down on, so she was always striving to be the best. There was no time for fun child games.
Maybe that's why she didn't bother going to the medics for something to abort the pregnancy or other dangerous means. It crossed her mind for sure, but in the end, she decided to go through with it. Even with how painful and uncomfortable it had been, she finds herself feeling grateful. She's definitely scared every day and doesn't really know what she's doing, but she finds herself… happy. It's hard not to feel that way when you're around Maeve. She's a bubbly ball of light and if it was anyone else, she'd hate them for it.
This is also why she feels the need to spoil her sometimes. Today is one of those days as she stands at a booth buying sweets for her. She picks the best looking slice of pumpkin pie and also orders a couple glasses of apple cider. Morr gets the non-alcoholic kind as she refuses to drink in front of her daughter. It's not something she wants to expose Maeve to until the girl is much older.
When her daughter runs off to greet Antiope, she keeps a close eye on her from her place in the waiting line. It usually hurts to have her be too far away, but she trusts Antiope and knows she'll be fine even from all the way over there.
Morrighan orders an extra drink for the Sovereign and makes her way over with all the goodies. It's no surprise that Maeve happily devours the pie once she hands it to her and it brings a warm smile to Morrighan's face.
Her armor makes many clunking noises as she moves around, but she nods to the other mare and holds out the extra drink. "Here, I got you some cider if you want it." She admires the wintery look to Antiope's costume and it's an interesting contrast to the one she put together for Maeve. "Nice costume. You're both like fire and ice," she muses, glancing at Maeve who's about done eating her pie already. "How's the day treating you?"
"Speaking."
unafraid with open eyes
