MORGAN
Morgan nodded, happy to hear Neron was doing his work well and infiltrating systems she hadn't even heard of, gathering information and making deals with their allies; this was the kind of initiative she wanted, not the kind that ended up with arson and broken treaties. "I see. I wish he'd have just been honest with me. It would have been less galling." Did the General think her stupid?
Even in the most dire of situations, Neron made her laugh; covering her mouth with her hand, Morgan tempered her smile down with a shake of her head. "You could just as easily say I am a stern woman, but I suppose my feminine wiles made that palatable to you?" Sarcasm aside, there was actually something she wanted to talk to him about beyond Deimos; Morgan stood and glancing up to make sure the door was shut, went to lean against the front of her desk, much closer to Neron and with one of her legs brushing against his own.
"I have been...considering, and I've only been thinking about this since Deimos was in here, so it may yet be an immature thought I decide against, but..." She took in a breath and looked at him, brow a little down and fingers curled against the edge of the desk. "I was thinking that we might make our relationship public. Not that we have to make an announcement from the rooftops, but no longer make it secret - it...seems that some people may suspect already anyway, and Sunjata has managed to be married to an Ascended yet carry on a substantially successful relationship with Safrin. Perhaps neutrality would still be possible."

And time goes quicker
Between the two of us
