[An upbeat male voice comes on:]
Hey, it's Morgan! If you were expecting a girl, you picked the wrong picture. If not, then congratulations! But sorry too, because this means I've missed you. Leave a message!
[Beep.]
(( ooc: feel free to use this for face-to-face interactions as well! just leave a date and voice/action/etc. in the header. ))

She hadn't been aware of what happened to him once she returned. It was only after she spoke to the other Morgan after their fight against the Risen did she know. And it hurts.
The other Morgan warned her that such things could happen, to her and possibly her brother as they're one and the same. And though it was different this time, because it was he who made the choice, she hadn't expected it so soon. Nor had she wanted it all to end so similarly to his twin's. If anything like it was to happen, she wanted--hoped to change the outcome so neither would have to experience such a thing again.
She promised them both... though she promised Morgan that she'd never leave him alone, that she'd never allow any harm to come to him. But still she failed him, just as she failed to protect Chrom from dying at Kite's hands (or so she believes). So for all that's happened, she blames herself.]
Morgan confessed what it is that happened to you and... I'm sorry. [There's a long pause]
I'm so sorry I was not there for you, that I have failed to protect you, Brother... [There's a small hesitation before she ends the message. She opens her mouth if only for a moment, wanting nothing more than to promise him that she wouldn't allow it to happen again. But in such a place, unpredictable and dangerous as it is... who's to say that it wouldn't?
So in her own guilt and remembrance of already broken promises, the feed simply cuts off.]

He calls her back right away. ]

[To have her brother return makes her more than happy. If this were their own world, things such as death couldn't be reversed. She and the other children faced this harsh reality since they were little. When their parents died one by one, they all had wished and prayed to Naga that they would somehow one day come back to them. So to have him back, she should consider herself to be lucky and thankful to Naga.
But it's also the very fact that he died that continues to weigh on her heart more. It's a reminder that she wasn't able to protect him, that not only did she allow Chrom to die but her brother as well, no matter the fact that they came back. It's a responsibility she bears all on her own because... she could have done more, right? To protect them, to keep them safe? Paid more attention, trained harder... something.
To say it hasn't been on her mind since she learned of the truth would be a lie. All that has happened hasn't wavered from her mind for a moment. So as reality and the guilt settles on her mind once more, she quiets down, the sadness underlining her voice once more.] Welcome back. Mother has been searching for you.

[ He's stumbled upon her already, and they've got everything hugged out. His sister, on the other hand... ]
Lucina... You don't have to be sorry about anything. If you weren't there for me, it was because I didn't let you. I didn't let anyone... and that was my own fault.
[ Noire punched that much into him earlier. ]
no subject
She is the one who lead him and the other children back in their world, she is his sister, and she promised--swore on Falchion to protect him. So she can't not find that part of it is her fault.]
No, the fault is also my own. If only I had been more observant, if I had tried harder to find you then...! [Maybe she could've prevented his death]
no subject
Then I would have done the same thing! And I would have had to fight against you too, on top of everyone else! And I would have hurt you when you were trying to help me, and no one would have been any better off for it.
So don't wish you were there. You'd have been lost on me.
[ Frustration. Not just as her, but at himself too. ]
no subject
You cannot ask that of me, Morgan! [There's a small, shaky sigh] Not a moment will pass where I won't wish I hadn't been there, no matter what may have become of me if I was. Had this happened within our own realm, your life would have been lost with no chance of returning and I to be left with a heavier grief, knowing that my own carelessness took part in your death.
[There isn't much of a difference between how she would've felt then and how she feels now. No matter the fact that this place brings back those who've died, the fact of the matter lives on. And what happened did happen, no matter how lucky and blessed by Naga she feels past her guilt that he and her father were given far more chances than they should.
Her voice softens a little more] I understand the frustration and anger that you carry, Brother. What it is you must have gone through, what you must have felt and all that you burden alone is what I can only imagine as something far too great and cruel... [It's the same as she felt when the other Morgan told her her own story of when she became a Grimleal, explained that she was scared and never wanted to hurt her friends again... ] And I'm sorry that you did have to go through such things... that your hand was forced to fight against your friends and comrades. I'm so sorry...
I truly wish none of it had befallen you.
I know you want to think best and to protect me, but please, do not ask me to wish I hadn't been there to try and save the only family I have left. [Robin and Chrom are without a doubt her parents, no matter what world they jump to, she will always consider them her family, her most precious. But Morgan, this Morgan is all she has left of the family--the graves she left behind in a burning Ylisstol.]
no subject
[ He goes silent at that, because in honesty he'd forgotten -- Lucina's unique perspective, and the position he must take up in it. When he speaks again, the steel has left his voice. ]
I apologize. I didn't think of... sorry.
[ But it should have been obvious. As her brother, shouldn't he know these things? ... He frowns to himself and shoves that feeling away. ]
Regardless, I'm glad you weren't there, even if that's what you would have wanted. You already take on so much, Lucina. You didn't need all of that on top of it.
