If they tell my story
I am either gonna die on the battlefield in glory
Neron's agreement caught Morgan by surprise and lowered the tension in her shoulders as she listened to what he had to say, not having expected him to agree. She was not sure he was out of the woods yet, but his lack of pride was something she could respect. "It is not an excuse. With Peter gone I have had to pick up more work. We need another spymaster - I am not suited for training stealth." She was hardly a brute, but she specialised in battle, not subtlety.
He asked what it was he needed to do, and oh did Morgan have a list of suggestions. Since this now seemed more like a conversation she sat opposite his desk on the most nearby chair before beginning to talk. "There are a few matters. We will start with the ones within our own palace."
Holding in an exasperated sigh, she began with her first point. "I am not sure if you hired your own family as an act of nepotism or if you genuinely believed they were the best for the job, but Zariah is...far too volatile for the position she holds. She did not listen to my commands during our mission to the mine and her magic training is bordering on sadistic. Not only that, I hear she was once an unpopular ruler in the Hollowed Grounds. Surely having a person of such notoriety in our cabinet is asking for trouble if we need to make any kind of arrangement with their current government." After a moment's pause she added: "Loren is doing satisfactorily so far."
The next matters were less so due to failures or errors of Nerons and more things he might have missed during his...lengthy rest from duty. "Otherwise: the situation surrounding Whitebrim is escalating and something must be done soon. Preferably before Longnight as Loren has told me there will be issues during that time as well; in the Hollowed Grounds there are apparently monsters. I have checked this with a few sources and they all confirm it. We need to launch some kind of information campaign to keep our citizens from visiting. It would be a good chance for you to show your face to them - and I would advise you do it with Loren, as he seems knowledgeable on the subject." Suggesting that the brothers work together might have been a bad idea, but Morgan had little patience for family squabbles getting in the way of duty.
"Lastly..." The first sign of uncertainty in her, she turned to look out of the window for a moment. "There has been an influx lately of the 'Ascended', as they call themselves, coming to Halo. I am wary that these people may tempt our citizens over to their Goddess. I believe some kind of ban like the one initiated in the Greatwood may be of use, before our own sacred places are destroyed."
