-----I've decided there's going to be entrees from Azeri's view as well, but hers will probably be shorter. She doesn't have the attention span to write like Ven------
I looked to Morrigan almost immediately. I didn't know what it was about the witch, but she was so intriguing. I know, it sounds ridiculous that I had such a sudden attachment to a woman I'd only spoken with once, but I don't know... I couldn't help it.
I tapped Ven's shoulder lightly, and looked to Morrigan like a hint. Ven seemed to get it, and nodded then winked and quietly said good luck. She and Ali then went to Flemeth and began speaking with her. I walked to Morrigan with my lips pursed, and a light blush on me. I could feel my face heating up a little when she noticed I was there.
"S-so... Uhm... Hey..." I stuttered a little, and tried to look at her. But I really couldn't bring myself to do it. I was embarrassed because of what I'd said to her when I was...conscious? Not to mention I was still flustered by the fact that she had undressed me.
Morrigan looked at me, her look of displeasure draining for a brief second, then coming back quickly. "Hello," She replied coldly, and her tone made my heart hurt.
"Do... uhm... Do you hate me?" I asked, lifting a hand to my face and lightly biting at my nails. She looked at me for a long second before sighing.
"Why would you leave your comrades to save me? I was not in danger. I can handle myself, even if I were to be. That was selfish of you." She stood straight, uncrossing her arms and letting them drop to her sides.
Her words stung, and I looked down pursing my lips still. "I know it was..." I replied quietly. As if I didn't already feel guilty enough about everyone's death being my fault, now she had to add onto it.
"Why would you do that?" She asked again, this time commanding an answer from me.
"Because..." I replied, looking away and pouting slightly. "Because I don't know... I thought I told you already..."
"Surely that is not the real reason. You have only spoken to me once. Briefly, at that, how would that even be?" She almost yelled at me now, and it hurt me even more. I reached up, and wiped my eyes because I could feel them beginning to water. "Are you crying?!" Her voice went up an octave or two, holding her hands out briefly before roughly letting them drop again. "Why!?"
"because you hurt my feelings..." I replied, and she sighed heavily.
"How mature of you. I 'Hurt your feelings,' Yes?" She rolled her eyes and shook her head.
It was quiet between us for a second, and I heard Ven and Ali beginning to come toward us. I was slightly relieved, because I couldn't handle Morrigan being mean anymore. I didn't mean to upset her... I just... I wanted to make sure she was okay...
"Morrigan, your mother wants to talk to you." Ven said, pointing back toward Flemeth who was looking at Morrigan intently. She sighed heavily, then hurried toward her mother. I turned to Ven, and looked up at her and sniffled. She smiled slightly at me, noticing I was upset. After a moment I felt her arms wrap around me, and she squeezed me a bit. We stood in silence for the next few minutes, until Morrigan's voice heightened and she said 'I do not want to' I didn't know what it was she didn't want, but I did know that I wasn't ready to leave... I wanted to at least know she wouldn't be mad at me the last time I saw her. After a moment she stormed passed, and into the hut. Flemeth followed until she reached us, and she looked over at us.
"Morrigan will be traveling with you," She stated bluntly, and Alistair groaned.
"Why!?" He said unhappily.
"Well, her magic is far from as powerful as mine, but she will be of great use to you. Unless you do not want my help?" She asked but I was pretty sure it was a rhetorical question. None of us responded, and she nodded. "Consider this repayment for my saving your life..."
I had barely heard her last words. My heart was pounding too loud for me to hear her. I was thrilled, yet at the same time I was nervous. Morrigan was mad at me. She didn't want to travel with us. I didn't want her to come if she was going to be unhappy.
But... I was going to be able to see her every day...
