The name's Morgan, and something on that anon post caught my eye. A question about staying here, rather than going home. If it's possible. If it's okay.

I don't know about Avalon. It's possible when all this ends, Avalon won't exist any more, because its purpose was served. But I can say this: if anyone doesn't want to go home, I will find a place for you. No one should have to go back to a world where they'll be mistreated, or miserable, or end up dying in days, or whatever your circumstance that means you're happier being here than there.

I live on a nexus world, a place where a lot of worlds and universes overlap and connect. Sort of like Avalon itself. It's not a paradise, it's far from perfect, but it's somewhere you can go if you want. I'll find a way to make that happen for damn sure. A ritual performed here, I hope, at the end of the last day. And if that doesn't work... I have some friends and family to whom nothing is a barrier that can't be overcome, and we will find a way to get you away. There or elsewhere.

It isn't fair that anyone should be drawn here to save everything, then sent back home without a second thought to what might happen. And if your response to that is, 'well, life's not fair', I'll make it fair.

Don't be afraid to relax, to hope, to enjoy yourself here. Life's too short for that. But... I'll also take any help anyone's offering to make this vow of mine come true.

[Morgan chuckles a little awkwardly, before shrugging and ending the message.]

Eh, people are reflexively inclined to fear things flapping around near them, it's in the genes. Plus there's all sorts of misinformation about bats like them getting stuck in your hair or all of them drinking your blood.

[ichoosefight]

Right, but nobody's afraid of fangs or hissing.

[Typhon would never hurt a kid!]

But he's so teeny! Look at how teeny he is!

[ichoosefight]

Is this really a point worth arguing? I'm sure he's lovely, I'll just pass on the cuddles.

[morganknight]

Well, if that's so, I'll put in extra effort to make up for his share.

[ And there's another sweet statement that makes her blush. How the tables have turned since their last quest! ]

Alright, look. I promise I will give you the opportunity if I'm even the slightest bit weepy tomorrow.

But seriously, I'm fine. I'm emotional because I'm happy.

[morganknight]

And believe me, I'm glad for that. But even happy emotions can leave you drained when you've been balling everything up and they suddenly let go.

[ichoosefight]

So I'm learning. Can the both of you just trust me, just this once?

[morganknight]

If you put it like that, I do. Don't worry on that score. Just know I'm here.

[ichoosefight]

I do. And thank you.
