Morpheus didn't hear the same question Nanshe had in Annabelle's words, though her answer was thoughtful and fair. He hadn't seen the words as a plea for their help. He'd seen it as a somewhat childish observation.
Morpheus nodded in agreement with Nanshe.
"I think you're going to be great, once you get a little control," he said. "You're obviously gifted, and you have a healthy fear of what magic can do. I think that once Simon gives you some help with what you need, you'll be really formidable."
