MORGAN
Some nights, I wish that my lips could build a castle
Some nights, I wish they'd just fall off
Some nights, I wish they'd just fall off
Morgan let out a quiet huff-laugh at Wessex's opinion of Eirachi: while she had more respect for the spirit (unaware that she was a Goddess), she was still less fond of her than the nameless energies that lived in the world around them. At least they were in agreement for their dislike of the Old Gods, even if they disagreed on the new.
She listened attentively to Wessex's story. That she had died and come back: a concept that made Morgan shiver with how unnatural it was rather than be impressed at all. Hearing that she was the 'only Natural' to lead was odd though: "There was a governor in Torchline that was a natural. And while we did not have an official leader here, Halo was managed by Naturals for many years." Until recently, and she had opinions on that too, but that was beside the point for the moment.
Not having grown up in the Hollowed Grounds she couldn't speak on what that experience would be like, though she wondered if Wessex knew the barrier had been the fault of The Voice in the first place.
What perhaps might have surprised Wessex was that Morgan, when she thought on it, agreed with her final point. "You're right. In fact, I'd make the same argument for the Attuned. It is a choice that has been made, and our city is right to, if we choose, exile those who have made that choice, as we did the exiles that live in Whitebrim. The Attuned, for the moment, are not causing us any harm." Predicting Wessex would say the Ascended weren't either, she added: "I have heard the Ascended brought a Blight upon the Hollowed Grounds. That your Goddess is keen to convert anyone she can. Surely can see why we would consider this suspicious? A potential threat?"

But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure, what I stand for
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure, what I stand for
