You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
Morgen was the sort of man who didn't bother much with trying to hide his feelings, not unless he was dealing with a wild animal. With humans he more or less wore his heart on his sleeve, so it was that his expression of confusion, amazement, and a twinge of fear were unbridled as they passed over his eyes and mouth. 'A theory, huh.' He repeats, trying and failing to come up with any reason that the fire might be a trick such that what he was seeing wasn't what he thought he was seeing.
With his denim stare focused on Kiada's face, he missed the movement of her tail altogether, though the ruby sheen of her horns was a detail that even he couldn't miss. Living out in King's End more or less on his own, the re-emergence of the Ancients was something he'd only heard vaguely of, and not in enough detail to know that fire + horns was likely an indication the woman he was seeing was a child of Dygra. 'Those real?' He asks, perhaps a bit too forwardly, nodding his head towards her horns. Morgen couldn't think of a single creature that grew rubies in their horns, making him inclined to think Kiada wasn't an attuned who was just partially shifted.
As for his place in the maze?
"Huntin'." He replied with an easy shrug. "Blink hares like to pop in and outta here. Was hoping to catch a few more to take back to camp when...well." Morgen pauses. "When I seen you. Ain't every day you come across someone just wavin' their hand in the fire., covered in blood."
