And I'm not here.
Go.

I never knew it was so common! No one I knew ever had three parents or even a second wife/husband growing up or even day to day! Well good for them!
Oh, I don't know that it's common, but it works for all of them and they're happy. So more power to them, I say.
Yeah, definitely! What about you, Morgan? Are you married? Seeing someone or some people?
...Look, don't kick yourself for asking because you had no way to know, but I'm kinda recently widowed. So giving myself some time and trying to enjoy things without serious commitments, y'know?
[Morgan says not to kick himself but woah what a bombshell]
Still, sorry for bringing it up! That's fair! I think I would go about it the same way as you!
[Poor guy! Must be rough!]

I had the chance to make peace with it. Don't worry about me, I'm good!
[Caster put down her phone a moment to look around her, listening out for if he might be nearby...
And, well, hoping she could get more of the blood out before he got there.]

I'm glad, you're in the process of healing now. And there's nothing wrong with taking all the time you need for serious relationships, too!
That plus there's not a single eligible girl in Avalon, apparently!
[Ha ha! There he is, shoving his way though an obnoxious shrub.] Damn th--why is it so pointy?!
I believe the point of spines like that are to stop it getting eaten by animals.
[Despite the dry sarcasm, the tension in her body seemed to fade as she saw him, something of a relief taking over her.]
...You didn't have to come out here like this.

[Morgan just waves a hand at that sentiment, moving to plop down beside her.]
Some choices aren't choices, y'know?

[She sighed, glancing back to the bloodsplatter on her robe- thankfully, now mostly washed out.]
...I didn't control you and order you to come here, you know.
[But she was glad to see him, all the same.]

Nope, you didn't. But if the choice is "go to a friend who needs someone" or "ignore that friend"... [He shrugs. Get the point? It's technically a choice, but with only one possible outcome.]
...I suppose so. I just wanted to give you a warning about him, that's all.
But I'm glad you're here.
[She rings the cloak out, before rubbing at her wrist where the bracelet had been earlier that day.]

If you had to give me that warning, you needed a friend.
[He understands that instinctively. It's terribly obvious.]
Are you okay?
[He understands that instinctively. It's terribly obvious.]

I will be...I thought without my power as a Servant, Command Seals weren't a concern any longer. Evidently this world sought to prove otherwise.
That good, huh.
[Morgan folds his arms, leaning forward as he tries to think of the proper thing to say. This takes a moment.]
Some choices aren't choices at all. But they're still choices. If you didn't have a choice, it wasn't you.

Mm...the first time was with a Master from my world- Kadoc- we got along well. I was intrigued to see what a pact between us would feel like, so I didn't have any objections to that arrangement. He knows how to treat a Servant well, and used the 'pact' to let me show off my magic.
[A pause, before she shivered.]
...Then there was Yuber. He wasn't so willing to relinquish his newfound power.
Did you ever see that broadcast where he murdered people over the network? He has a taste for bloodshed.
['It wasn't you'
Maybe she should take his word, this time around?]

[His response is subtle, a tensing of every muscle in his body.]
I missed that. As you can tell by the fact that I haven't stopped him. I see why you advise avoiding him.

...Don't go after him, Morgan.
[She saw that response.]

I'm not charging off into the distance, you note.
[Hopefully she'll accept that and not notice how it isn't actually a comment.]

I meant after tonight.
[A brittle crack in her voice- her emotions already frayed.]

Don't worry. I don't think that would go well for me.
[Mostly because he'd be likely to get imprisoned or something.]

Good- because I don't want to suddenly find out you're dead after stupid assertions like that-!!
['I don't want to lose you, too'.
'I can't deal with you getting killed'.]
If you do that to me I will curse you do you understand me-!
[A panicked desperation- it had only been a couple of days since finding out the fate of her precious Souichirou-sama, another loss of someone she cared dearly for was the last thing she could manage.
...Not that she'd tell him that detail tonight. She didn't have the strength to explain what happened just yet.]
