MORGAN
"Oh. Well, go on then." She gave a wave of her hand, expecting Deimos to tell her about supply lines, maybe some interpersonal conflict between his soldiers, an idea for the Citadel; Morgan didn't even look up right away, comfortable and sure.
That quickly faded as he spoke. She snapped her head up at the word 'incident', assuming they were here to discuss how they would help. A disaster, something with the monsoons maybe. They could organise troops, ask for favours, provide aid to the people. Morgan's head was already working in problem-solving mode when Deimos continued.
All she could do was blink, breath held as she tried to absorb what she was being told.
Initially, anger flared up in her and it would have been very easy to shout; he should have spoken to her before now, he should have known better - but she swallowed it. Not that she wasn't angry, but the best way to find out the situation was to be calm and let him explain it all. Then she would dole out punishment as she saw fit. Voice clipped and controlled, she finally spoke: "Tell me all of it from the beginning and do not leave anything out. I want every detail, Deimos. Talk."
