as i strive to be infinite...

“says who?” carol asked, her brows furrowed. her and morgan hadn’t always seen eye to eye on most things, still didn’t. but she did care about him. she cared about their entire group and would continue to. “i’m no one. not before anyway.”

“Says me.” Acting stubborn, which was almost rare for him, his frown remains. He usually didn’t mind, not fitting in. It didn’t matter to him. However, he felt as though he should have been on his own. Again. “No one?” He repeats. “You’re far from no one. Tougher than I am.”

“i can see you, morgan.” carol’s words rung out louder above the dull roar of the group. “and you’re not leavin’.” her words were blunt, eyes fixed on him. when carol had wanted to go, morgan had stopped her. she sure as hell wasn’t going to abandon him.

He’d left before, and despite having just returned, he wanted to leave now. He believed in the Kingdom, he believed in the King. In Rick and Maggie, too. He’d kept Carol from leaving, only for her to return the favor. He saved her life. Because he CARED for her. He turns around with a sigh. “Don’t know that this place is right for me, Carol.” He promised he’d never leave her. Yet here he is, contemplating leaving again. “I’m no knight.”
