[ Her brows narrow. The truth is that she was just naïve more than anything else. She convinced herself somehow that whatever the woman Morganna was doing couldn't be that bad when the whole point of everything they were doing and learning was to save not only this world, but their own. What then, is the point of having the people under your care do bad things? It was those thoughts that allowed her to squash the misgivings she had, but... ]

It matters not what I expected. What matters is what we choose to do in this moment.

[ She takes the napkin to clean herself up; she has no reason to want to raise his suspicions either, despite the fact that now she has no intention whatsoever of causing him any harm. ]

[It almost felt like she wanted to do this out of spite. To prove she was as awful as Morganna presumably thought she was by asking her to do this quest to begin with.
