Who: Morrigan and the Grey Warden
What: ARGH, feelings.
Warnings: Just blood and gore. No sexings, I swear.

Morrigan's insistence that she didn't have feelings made it difficult for her to actually process said mythical feelings in a stable, mature way. Any attempt to logically explain her actions at this point was idiotic, in her opinion. She was killing demons. It was what she had done in Fereldan. She had wiped out a nest of lesser demons in Cornwall, pulling them out and taking them on one at a time. It took hours, but that was what she needed. Grueling, mindless work to clear her head.

Once Cornwall was clear, she'd sought out something more difficult. Petit had sent her after feral weres, the sort that had lost all humanity and were dangerous month-round. Of course, being the full moon, they were stronger. And they hunted in packs. Morrigan hadn't been ready for all of them, and they'd taken her down. She'd tried keeping herself healed, but there was only so much she could do. Her body was lying in the bushes, bleeding and missing several large chunks of skin where she'd been bit.

Try as he might, Alim hadn't been able to give up possession of the ring that she'd given him. Whilst the edges were worn slightly, from months of him fiddling with it, the shifting images in the grain were still there - animals, human shapes, nothing he could really discern.

It was the emotions that mattered in this case. He'd been feeling her rage for so long, and now, just... was that pain? Grabbing his staff from where it lay, and focusing on the pulses of emotion, he followed them as best he could. If Morrigan was in danger, he couldn't let her be... when the pulses grew strongest, almost no pause in-between each one, he swallowed and dared to take a chance.

"Morrigan?" he kept low, unwilling to attract too much attention. If whatever it was could hurt Morrigan, he knew that he'd likely be in trouble too if it found him. "If you're here, give me some sign... your ring best not've led me wrong."

Lying still and quiet had been what made the weres leave. They preferred live prey, and playing dead took all the fun out of it. Of course, she wouldn't be 'playing' much longer. She had taken a lot of damage, and was bleeding out. She tried to gather enough magic to heal herself, but couldn't do it.

She could barely hear the calls. Even as the Warden grew closer, the sound seemed more distant. She tried to speak, but everything grew dark. The pulses on the ring starting growing weaker, then stopped all together as the ring became cold to the touch.

	"You don't have to do that here," she remarked quietly. Obviously he did, though. As much as she cared for Brother, resurrection was not something he could do. She started to stand, but wobbled and fell back, feeling woozy. Dying was harder here than it had been in Fereldan. "Things are different here." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Morrigan smirked at his choice of descriptors. As useful as it was to play the weakling, at times, she and Alim were long past that game. "I believe I'm quite capable of balancing now," she said, pulling herself upright. "An escort out of these woods wouldn't be unwelcome, however." The weres had been gone for some time, but that didn't mean they wouldn't return. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"They weren't exactly the most subtle creatures," Morrigan commented, a brow raised. She doubted very much that they were hiding in the bushes, watching them. "Still, they were fast. We would have some warning, but not much." She retrieved her staff and began to walk the way she came. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Even the most unsubtle things can surprise you," Alim shrugged, casting a brief glance behind them just in case. "We'd best move quickly either way. They might be gone, but there could be scavengers coming to see what their prey was." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
