I'm not the only one
Who finds it hard to understand
Morgan’s disorientation made Mallorie feel a little like she was imposing. She did her best to appear suitably deferential, and stood back from the desk.
“You want to be near your people in a time of crisis. That’s commendable.” She said, hoping to assuage any embarrassment the Warden might feel. “And your people can’t begrudge you sleep.”
She hoped no big deal would be made about her admission, and appreciated Morgan’s practical response in spite of her obvious surprise. Mallorie followed her, arms neatly clasped behind her back.
How much to admit was...tricky to decide. There’d been no dramatic reveal, or sudden explosion of power. Mallorie had mixed feelings about the subject on the whole, without adding how she’d discovered the abilities this world had bestowed upon her.
She sighed.
“I was...taking a moment to grieve. Had a cup of cider to honour some memories.”
Among other things, she thought, a little disapprovingly.
“Suffice to say I thought it was as good a time as any to try and do something,” she scowled as she continued, “looks like I have a new affinity for things of the earth.”
Mallorie felt conflicted enough that she didn’t bother to hide the dubious tone in her voice.
