making me feel glad that I'm not you

Morgan

Snakes are biting at my heels
The worries that refuse to let us go

"Don't be pedantic. You knew how it would sound." Morgan said back, meeting his eyes squarely; she'd never had much patience for those that picked and switched their meanings around. She always aimed to speak directly and clearly and found herself immediately suspicious of those who didn't.

She went to put her fingertips in the water, watching the smaller ripples that resulted spread out towards Saidens. "I've never met Ludo. ...I've only met Frey, and that was short." She wasn't sure if she'd want to meet Ludo, from all that she had heard; it sounded quite frightening, and there were plenty of people she wouldn't want to see risen from Mort's Realm.

And it seemed death was to hang over their conversation, as Saiden went on to explain about his sister. "...Oh. I'm sorry to hear that. I didn't know Ronin had such tragedy in his past."

I've been kicking them away
Been hoping not to let them take control
