Maeve
Maeve was quiet as they spoke. Her legs crossed as she cupped her tea in her hands, head tilting to the side thoughtfully as she listened to all they had to say, eyes occasionally flicking over to her counterpart. The news was surprising. From what she heard of the original coupe, Morgan and Neron left peacefully and the citizens were settling under the new Wardens well. Not only that, but from what she knew of Noah and his love for Halo, the man was going to do everything in his power to take care of the people under him. The fact that Morgan came in to take it back under the guise of neutrality while being backed by only Ascended was hard to accept as any form of neutrality at all.
She took a breath, sharing a look with Aurelia before facing forward, shifting in her seat as she smoothed a hand over her belly. "First, thank you for making the journey here and sharing what you know. I'm glad that you were able to get the citizens to safety during what was clearly a blatant attack." Maeve began, lips pursing in thought, considering her next words carefully. "Morgan made a speech to claim that she was going to shift Halo back to a neutral stance, but only had Ascended backing her... I can't be the only one finding that a bit suspicious. What else do you know of her? Does she have major ties with the Ascended? Has she shown any favor to the Old Gods before?"
These weren't questions about Halo specifically. Nor the invasion, but they were necessary to see where Morgan potentially fell in the grand scheme of things. Halo, for all they knew, was now lost to the Voice. If that was the case then there was reason to worry with how closely they bordered Torchline. It would be even more important to maintain neutrality with them now if they were going to stay at peace with their neighbors.

Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips
We should just kiss like real people do
We should just kiss like real people do
