She places a hand on both his shoulders, and he flinches. She can feel Siana behind her, watching quietly for once, sensing, somehow, what it is that is going to happen.
Morgan's dark eyes meet his, burning like her Dark Star.
"Blessed be the road before you," she murmurs, kissing his cheek. He is startled, pulls back, but she isn't finished.
"May you take wisdom from the earth, and strength from the stone."
She kisses his other cheek. This time he pauses, waiting.
"May the stars in their faithfulness burn brightly when you are lost in the night."
She kisses his brow, then releases him, turning away, towards her Lady. She does not know that it will be enough, but she hopes so.
