as i tear you to pieces?
There is something about the way that the man sees through her that makes her uncomfortable. The only one she exposed herself to was Al'Zahra, but even then, this is something different. It's like her soul and maybe even her inner thoughts are exposed. She knows there are those out there with the ability to read thoughts and she hates the idea of it.
The problem with feeling is that she often feels too much.
Morrighan isn't used to such compliments, especially coming from a man like Tenebrae. Maybe she should feel grateful and proud and maybe she does. She just can't shake that feeling of exposure. It's like bugs are crawling all over her skin and it's triggering her flight response.
She doesn't show this (or at least she tries her best not to... who knows what magic this man possesses) but just looks at him with her two-colored gaze. It's a little softer, as much as she doesn't want it to be.
"Thanks," she says, then mutters "I guess" before clearing her throat. The Regent is quickly reminded why she normally prefers being alone. Taking one last glance at the arch, she nods to the man and begins walking back towards the citadel. "Have a good night."
And maybe she means it, even if it's just a little part of her that does.
@Tenebrae figured this was a good spot to close! <3
