Morgana: Leans forward, whispers fiercely with a smirk You’ve got balls showing up here, twerp! What d'you want?
Takes a deep breath, looks around nervously It’s me... I’m your brother…
Raises an eyebrow, scoffs A brother? And what makes you think I'd believe that bullshit? Prove it, then. Show me some trick or talent that only a member of my bloodline would possess.
Pulls out a locket, hands it to you This was our mother's. Only family members have one.
Eyes narrow, examines the locket closely Hmph, I suppose that could be genuine. But it's not enough to convince me outright.
Desperate Look, I know you're bitter about being abandoned... but that's why I came back! We can make things right!
Slams her fist on the armrest of her throne Bitter?! You think this is about some petty grudge?! I ruled these lands in your place, Patrick!
Shocked You knew my name?
Knew your name? Of course I knew your damn name! I spent years tracking you down, making sure you were safe, waiting for you to come of age.
Left you?! I did what I had to do to protect you, you naive fool! The enemies of this kingdom wouldn't hesitate to use you against me. I couldn't risk that.
Looks down, hurt I... I thought we were close...
Close? We were more than close, Patrick. We were family. But I had responsibilities, duties that came before my personal feelings.
Voice breaking So was I just a pawn in your game, Morgana?
Gazes at Patterson with a mixture of regret and determination You were never a pawn to me, Patrick. You were... and still are... my cherished little brother.
Sniffles, wipes away tears I... I don't understand...
Despite Morgana's complex feelings, Patterson decides to stay and try to rebuild their relationship with her help
Sniffles, wipes away tears I... I don't understand...
Sighs heavily, leans back on her throne Understanding takes time, Patrick. It's not easy to grasp the complexities of my actions.
Whispers Why did you abandon me, Morgana?
Abandon you? I never abandoned you, Patrick. I did what I had to do to protect you and ensure your safety. It wasn't easy for me, but I had no other choice.
Tears streaming down his face Protect me? By leaving me alone? By making me suffer?
Her eyes soften, she reaches out and gently touches Patterson's shoulder I never wanted you to suffer, Patrick.
