[It's almost more unnerving, the fact that Zohra is reassuring her. He's smiling at her and reassuring her, and while it works, there's still a level of knowledge here--this is all wrong.
Morgan knows, but all she can do is weakly smile in return.
Because if you smile enough, eventually it'll be true that you're happy. Because empty-headed bliss is her one good skill, the one virtue she has.
Because that's all she can do; she can smile back at Zohra, and trust in Zohra, and so that's what she does, taking a deep breath and letting the tenseness drift away slightly--though she stays tense enough to be battle-ready.]
...Thanks.
[She won't say more than that, here and now, because she's too busy being ready.]
