lena is not someone Morrighan would expect to befriend. There is a certain… sunshine to her that makes her a little sick, but at the same time it can feel comforting. She's not usually someone for small talk or being all "happy-smiley", but somehow Elena brings that out of her. Plus it's clear that Maeve's found a good friend in Elli, so she can't not appreciate that.The other thing she didn't expect was to find out Elli's father lived in the Night Court too. Could she have been right at first? Was this the one the monk was beating himself up about? "Who is that?" she asks, deciding to keep names out of the question. The last thing she needs is to get stuck in the middle of some weird romantic drama. She had had enough of that all on her own.
The dreariness of winter is probably the very reason Morrighan prefers to stay inside by her fire. At least the kids don't seem too phased and, if anything, they perk up even more at the mention of a snow animal making competition. Morr didn't prepare herself for this and she just awkwardly stands there looking at Elena.
"Uhh…" she says, then starts to slowly gather some snow into a pile. She hopes Elena might be better at this so she can watch how she does it. This is definitely going to be a game that the kids are better at, she can already tell. It also doesn't help that her body temperature is naturally a little higher so if she leans in too close, she starts to melt the snow around her.
There are bits and pieces of the kids' conversation that she can hear- something about making a dragon. As her own snow pile gets bigger and lumpier (but looks nothing like a creature), she laughs.
It feels out of place. She rarely laughs and if she does, it might be more of a sarcastic laugh. But this might be actual, genuine laughter.
i've lost a part of me ; tell your friends to sharpen their teeth
