[ the joke does land, and alisaie chuckles roughly, she doesn't have a belly laugh in her right now but a tearful chuckle is still good enough.
but all right. it's time to straighten her spine and move forward; the siren is gone, taking with it a little of her dignity, but morgan is right in offering his distraction. she won't give that beast one more moment of her pain. ]
Aye, that sounds ideal.
[ there's nothing she would like more than beating on a training dummy right now. ]
[If he isn't as cheerful and energetic as he pretends to be, she sure isn't either. But oftentimes 'fake it till you make it' is pretty good advice. A grin and a charge, even a walking charge, brings more energy and more warmth than an exhausted trudge, and that has its own therapeutic benefits. Plus this way Alisaie can pretend she's her old self again and none of what just happened actually happened, and he figures that's a way better way to get a girl like her back on an even keel than being extra-considerate and gentle.]
[So, a dramatic turn that makes his coat flare just a smidge, and an advance!]
