The little one speaks the truth. Still you let others determine who you should be and still it fills you with sorrow. There's only one path forward and it is your own! If you truly are the Morrígan then none can decide for you what that means.

The voice in her head feels right but at the same time it swells with a sense of dread and the inviting embrace of the abyss.

Over on the bed as the voice bounces around in Sam's head, Tereza stirs and stretches. Her fingers flex and she lets out a long growling yawn before snuggling back down into the pillows.

"I'll... have to think on it a bit," she says distractedly.

"But you're probably right. He's thinking of this as a reason he's unworthy to be my champion. He's not Sam's champion."

Sam casts a glance over her shoulder to Tereza, then down at her own bathrobe-clad state. Color spreads across her cheeks.

"...I'll take it in."

Sam carries the laundry inside and closes the door behind her, letting out a long breath.

"...well, that was interesting,"
she mumbles.
