Nadine listened to the whispered conversation in the hall. Word was that there was going to be a major battle between Excalibur, the Knights of Purity, and the Dragons. Granted, there were always rumors of this sort of thing. From her experience, the Knights of Purity thrived on rumors, thrived on the thought of battle. All they looked forward to was their next fight and while they were waiting for one to happen ... they dreamed of it through rumors. When she first joined the Knights of Purity, she too lived through the rumors, but she quickly got tired of them. Now she listened to the rumors, but she put no stock in them. Not until she could find confirmation through someone that actually had true knowledge. She wanted to know details, evidence that the rumor was actually true. A short while ago she found someone that she could trust for good information ... Commander Morgana. The two of them weren't best friends, but whenever Nadine wanted to know whether or not a rumor was true, she went to Morgana first. Sometimes, Morgana told her what was going on, other times Morgana just gave her what she interpreted as a superior look before she stalked off. Still, as unreliable as Morgana was- mostly because sometimes she didn't want to share the information. Nadine was certain that Morgana always knew what was going on. She was too high up in the chain to not know. She turned toward the doorway, hoping that Morgana would pass through. She wanted to know if this battle would happen or not and Morgana was the way to find that out. So she would wait as long as it took for Morgana to show up. MORGANA

Morgana had just finished her meeting with Soren and it had been in a word, enlightening. She needed to get back to her quarters and start the preparations for the upcoming battle. She had a lot of work to do and was in a foul mood thanks to Soren, as much as she was loyal to him she always had a feeling that her thought of her like a pawn on his chess board. As she walked down that hall and through the doorway she spotted her. Thankfully she hadn't seen her yet she liked Nadine well enough but Morgana was not in the mood to deal with the young girl. She turned back down the corridor hoping the girl wouldn't follow her.

Nadine yawned, bored of watching the door. She'd been watching it for hours now. She turned away for a moment, facing the room and watching her comrades. She smiled as she watched their casual interactions with one another. She had to admit, this was one of her favorite things about living with the Knights of Purity. The feeling of camaraderie, of belonging and family. When she left her family years ago she had felt lonely, but those feelings didn't last long. The Knights did a good job at helping her to feel wanted and important. The smile still on her face, she turned back to the door, delighted when she saw Morgana there. Morgana wasn't facing her; in fact, Morgana was walking the other direction, but that didn't deter Nadine one bit. She strode quickly across the room, through the doorway and followed Morgana down the hallway. She learned a long time ago that among the Knights of Purity, you didn't run anywhere unless it was an emergency. This was not an emergency, so she would walk fast. "Morgana," Nadine called when she was only a short way behind her role model. She didn't know whether Morgana was busy or not, but she would find out. And if Morgana wasn't busy, she had every intention of asking her questions and getting answers. "Are you headed somewhere or busy with something? It's been a while since we were last able to talk," Nadine asked as she finally caught up with Morgana. MORGANA

Morgana sighed as she heard Nadine come after her down the hall her armor clinking as she hurried. It's not that Morgana didn't like Nadine it's just so young and well innocent and she was not, well not anymore. Normally Morgana wouldn't mind taking to her but she had just had the meeting of her life. The plans she and Soren had just made were going to change everything. It took a while for Morgana to answer as she was lost in thought. "......What did you say? Sorry Nadine i'm afraid i have a lot on my mind today." Morgana turned to face the girl. "What can I do for you?

The seconds seemed to drag into minutes as Nadine waited for Morgana to answer. Maybe this was a bad idea. Morgana did not seem ... herself and Nadine was worried that she was bothering her role model. Her display of confidence shimmered slightly. In front of most people she was quite confident, she could even be described as arrogant or condescending but she considered Morgana almost like an older sister and she didn't want to be unwanted. Finally Morgana answered her and Nadine hesitated a moment. What should she do? She still got the feeling that Morgana didn't want to talk. Maybe she should give her an out. She forced a show of courageousness before responding. "Oh, I only asked if you were busy or not. If you have somewhere you need to go that's not a problem, I just had a few questions I wanted to talk to you about. There's a lot of talk about a big battle coming up but I didn't know if the rumors were true or not ..." She trailed off, still making an effort to seem confident. She knew Morgana was not a fan of weakness, so she didn't want to appear weak in front of her. MORGANA

Morgana felt a little bad for ignoring Nadine she really did like her it's just the battle....this was huge. "It's alright Nadine why don't you walk with me back to my chambers and I can see if I can answers some of your questions. Though I may not be able to answer as many as you think." Morgana smiled she didn't have any friends and Nadine it seemed was the closest thing she was going to get. The years had been hard on Morgana, not that anyone could tell, but she had to admit being the best was proving to be a very lonely road something she had not anticipated as a younger girl trying to make a name for herself. But hopefully things would look up soon....

Nadine couldn't help it, she grinned at Morgana's response! She was so relieved that Morgana didn't seem to mind her being there that she started with her questions as soon as the two of them started walking. "So is there really going to be a battle against the dragons? And are we going to be working with Excalibur? She took a deep breath and tried to hide her enthusiasm. She wanted to seem more calm and collected, so she had to relax a little more. "It's been a long time since we've worked with t hem, hasn't it? Why is that? They're led by humans, we're humans. Aren't we fighting for basically the same thing?"As they walked, Nadine turned to watch Morgana. She didn't have to worry about where she was going; she knew these halls like the back of her hand. Besides, she was with Morgana, having a seemingly serious conversation. No one would dare to bump into her right now. Anyone in these halls would be wise enough to part for the two women. Nadine knew this was because of Morgana's position and reputation, but she didn't care. She felt honored that she could consider Morgana her friend. MORGANA

Morgana smiled in her mind as she saw Nadine grin. “Those are not simple questions Nadine. The likely hood that a battle will ensue is very high now so I would be prepared if I was you.” Morgana couldn’t tell Nadine specifics but she also didn’t want the girl to be caught unprepared. “As for Excalibur…...there had been debate.” She didn’t know how to word this. “We just have different methods, and there is too much hurt in our ranks that I doubt many will take kindly to working with dragons, but this also could be an opportunity for something great to happen if we let it. There is a lot we don’t know about Excalibur and I for one would like to have all the information before a decision is made.” Morgana wonder what Nadine thought. “What do you think Nadine? Would you like to work with them? Or do you share the same hatred as many of our comrades do?” She waited for a reaction.

Nadine shrugged, not really surprised by Morgana's response about it being confidential information. She wasn't the most open person, especially when it came to her job. Nadine was fully aware that Morgana would not tell her confidential information, but she knew that she could always trust whatever she was told. They had a mutual understanding and didn't lie to one another. If there was anything they were uncomfortable sharing, they just wouldn't even start. She smiled when Morgana practically told her there was going to be a battle. Nadine was excited. She'd joined the Knights so she could do something exciting, make something of her life. At least battle was a chance she had for both of those. If she made a particularly good impression during the battle, she'd go up in the ranks. It was that simple. She nodded at Morgana's opinion. "I think it would be an experience to work with Excalibur, and probably a good one for us. We can see how they work and understand them a bit more, which always helps. Knowing your enemy is just as important as knowing your friends. I agree, having the information is essential."Nadine thought for a few seconds before answering Morgana's question. She knew that her answer to these questions could make or break her career in the Knights but she wanted to be honest with Morgana about it. "I don't share the same hatred as everyone else. I fight against the dragons because I wanted to get out of my house. I wanted to be a part of something bigger than myself. I am. I really have no grudge against Excalibur, except that the people I trust do. Is that a bad thing?" she asked, suddenly nervous that Morgana wouldn't like her answer. MORGANA

"No it is not bad, I am glad you do not hold as much prejudice as the rest of us. It is one of the reasons I like you Nadine. Morgana wasn't normally this nice to Nadine but she really did care for the girl. Morgana grew quiet. "Have i ever told you about my encounter with Ryagin?" This was not a story she told often but she trusted Nadine and felt this would have Nadine and herself to organize her thoughts. "We spoke after an attack on the beach and the things he said made me question what we have been taught since birth. I think dragons are more like us then we care to admit. There are evil people just as there are good people, and I have started believing that there are good dragons just as there are evil ones." Morgana let her guard down as her confusion and worry show on her face. "I don't think the Knights have been completely honest with us."

Nadine was frozen. She knew that Morgana probably expected some sort of a response, but she was stunned. What just happened? Did Morgana just confide a private experience with Nadine without Nadine having to push her for it? Without being annoyed? Nadine's thoughts were jumbled, hard to figure out. And then she dropped the bomb. The Knights weren't being honest? How? Why? The questions flew through Nadine's mind and she couldn't keep herself from asking them. She knew the likelihood that Morgana would answer them wasn't very high, but she had to ask all the same. "Wait. What did Ryagin say to you? And how aren't the Knights being honest with us? Why would they lie to us?" Nadine didn't necessarily believe Morgana, but she didn't not believe her either. She just wanted something more than an opinion. She wanted reasons, examples, something to defend Morgana's idea. At the same time, she couldn't imagine Morgana making something like this up. She was confused. There was no getting over it. MORGANA

“What he said is a long story and now is not the time for it. As for the other questions I’m afraid that is something you’ll have to figure out for yourself.” Morgana knew Nadine would listen to her but Morgana wanted Nadine to come to her own sense of truth not just believe everything Morgana said. “There is more at work here then i had thought, don’t believe everything you hear around camp Nadine.” Morgana hoped Nadine would start asking questions and searching for the real truth. Not that Morgana knew the real truth but she knew enough that something didn’t feel right about the Knight any more and she would find out why.

Nadine wanted to glare at Morgana for not being more upfront about the situation. Why say anything if you're not going to explain your thoughts or expound on it at all. She took a deep breath, inwardly telling herself that she needed to calm down and just think. She knew Morgana. At least, she liked to think that she knew her. The two had been friends since Nadine joined the Knights of Purity and she thought that they were close. So why wouldn't Morgana tell her what was going on now? No matter how she looked at it, the whole thing confused her. Oh well. "Alright," Nadine said, trying to sound like she believed Morgana when she really just didn't know what to think at all. "I guess I'll just have to see what I can figure out then, right? And I won't just believe anything I hear..." she trailed off, hoping that Morgana would say more, but thinking that she probably wouldn't. Why did things have to be so complicated? "Thanks again for talking to me today Morgana. I know you're pretty busy and probably had more important things to do."
