we're climbing until we transcend
higher, higher to where the skies end
higher, higher to where the skies end
In the silence she tends to think, more so lately than usual. She thinks about all of the ways that Maeve has grown, or will grow soon. How she will have to start getting used to her daughter getting crushes and possibly getting her heart broken (or she could just never get into a relationship, Morr thinks it'd be a safer outcome). Maeve will also likely want to go out with friends more often and by herself. Even though she likes to explore a lot already, Morr is always having someone keep an eye on her when she can't. Most often that's Bram, but sometimes she'll give the task to some of the guards. Morr will have to start trusting her daughter more and giving her the freedom she deserves with getting older.
For now, she wants to think more about all the moments they can continue having while she's still young. All the moments she didn't realize were special and fleeting until she became a mom.
But that's not the only thing that's on her mind. She said to Po that she feels like she has more of a purpose and it's true. It had been more in the back of her mind up until now and maybe now it's more clear what it is. Maybe she's been working up to this well before Maeve, but now it's even more important because of her daughter.
"I know how you feel." The words have never felt more relieving than they do in this moment. Without knowing how to articulate it properly, he knows what she's going through. There is a bit of hope then that maybe he can help her figure this out.
Selfish. The thought did cross her mind a little bit, but isn't it selfish to want more when she already has so much? Shouldn't she be appreciating what she has and the life that she's made for herself here?
No, there's still more to be done.
"What made you want to be Sovereign?" she finally manages to ask and puts words to the want. It almost feels like the day she knew she could be more than Warden and had worked so hard to show her loyalty and strength for Regent. She had hoped all that hard work would be enough to get Antiope's attention, but she still had to arrange a meeting and speech. It had worked out well then, but she's not so sure about something like this. There aren't very many things Morrighan gets nervous about, so why is she so afraid?
"When did you know you were ready?" It's with these questions that Morrighan hopes to get more of her answers. Whatever Po's been through, hopefully he can instill more confidence in her than she seems to be able to do herself.
