Skitter along my pets.

Upon Elise taking her hand, Jinx shook it firmly, smiling at the spider queen.

The spider let a tiny chuckle escape her lips as she liked that the immortal could joke about her own power. "I'm not much of a tea fan but I think I can agree if the conversation isn't dull," she replied. Words spread easily among the corridors of the institute which was unfortunate for those who were the main topic. She preferred to know things beforehand so it came handy to hide in the shadows and listen carefully to what was being shared. 

She gave an exaggerated bow to the now designated Elise before coming back up with a broad smile and sticking her hand out in greeting.

And yea, it is!  I made it myself, what do you think?!

She looked on as Elise displayed her poison’s extent. “So your god’s poison is something far better than that?,” Morgana asked, intrigued. “Do tell me what you can, if your spider god allows you to? Your poison may have easily burned through that tree, but have you tried it on immortal skin like mine?” The Fallen Angel wasn’t suggesting that Elise give it a try on her at the moment. Heavens, no. “But, I’ll gladly take a sample and I’ll report back to you my findings. I’m sure your god will be pleased.” 

The Fallen Angel grew a little uneasy and suspicious at the mention of any changes to her body. A woman’s body was her business and her business alone. She was thinking twice now before letting foreign bodies enter it. What if Elise was going to double cross her in the end and make her like one of her spider god’s followers? No, she didn’t want to think about that possibility, but it still had to be considered. 

"If it’s sacrifices you want, many of Noxus’ poor and sickly are perfect for your god. Does he like his sacrifices full of pain and spite? I’ve got plenty, and those mortals are a dime a dozen," Morgana scoffed at the idea of just rounding up measly mortals for poison. Well, if it was as good as Elise said it is, then she figured that it might be worth it. "As for changing my appearance, I must know the full terms and conditions of this… change. Forgive me for being so skeptical, but I really must blame some past acquaintances I’ve had for my suspicion. They, too, offered me power in exchange for a change to my appearance." 

She tilted her head slightly at the questions brought up from Morgana and nodded taking them into consideration. Her poison was strong and she had just shown an example to it so she didn't mind the curiosity from the fallen angel. "I haven't tried it on immortal skin. When I poisoned your sister, I injected it into her blood stream with my strong fangs. After that I didn't get a good look at her neck to see if it had left any damage." Elise tried to remember if maybe she had caught sight of it but eventually just gave up trying. Her eyes closed as she wondered if the spider god would be unpleased of her handing out too much information to someone like Morgana. Then decided it wouldn't be that bad as there was no reason to go behind someone who didn't want any part with the angel war. Reopening her eyes she looked over at Morgana once more. "My poison can easily burn through human skin. I can switch between poison as well. Paralyzing them or making them feel ill by the second which sometimes involves becoming delusional. The spider god can do a lot more," she explained casually.

Elise shook her head at Morgana and then latched her hands behind her back as she paced a bit. "He likes the sacrifices to be full of life. Young or old but they can't be weak due to illness. They can be broken souls but if they are in healthy condition then it's perfect." She stopped and brought her fingers to her temple as she rubbed it gently. Her mind racing to still figure out what could be better than mortals to her god. "I have tried bringing him animals around the shadow isles before but it did nothing. I thought of giving him some of the summoners I quite literally detest but that would only start an unnecessary war that we don't need," she sighed.

Her eyes then snapped over at the fallen angel as she questioned her change in appearance. Elise expected that to be a question but she had not realized it was because of other deals. She nodded and got into a more relaxed position as she gestured to the woman before her. "Do not worry. I only meant that you may look very menacing to the followers as the way you are. They need to be willing to make the trip." The spider then demonstrated by making her extra limbs disappear so she looked more like a normal human woman. "I can help you with that or the spider god can. Nothing bad." She wasn't trying to make crazy plan to then back stab the angel. All she wanted was a boost while making a trade for it.

"I’ll be sure to give you a fight that’s pretty interesting to spectate. Your followers could even get a good kick out of it," Morgana chuckled. "Although,  I do have to appreciate your offer on the poison. Get on the good side of the spider god? Why, aren’t you his most devout follower? His Spider Queen?" She looked a bit puzzled at the thought, then pushed it aside, "If you are offering, I’d like to hear what the terms are, then. I’ve read a little bit on poisons across Runeterra and haven’t found at least one account on the spider god’s. I assume it’s perhaps one of the most dangerous." 

Elise grinned a bit as she nodded as to agree that she was the spider god's most devoted follower. He possibly had a few more under his eight legs but she was the queen after all. She just thought there was nothing wrong with getting to a higher position. Goddess could suit her well. "I am but why not climb higher when given the chance?" The look on Morgana's face was granted but she just continued to smile. The spider accumulated some saliva in her mouth and once she was sure it was enough, she spat at the trunk of the tree beside her. Sizzling sounds could be heard and in seconds the wood had disappeared, leaving a hole behind. "My poison can't even reach what his can do," she said, trying to make a point.

The woman then slipped down from her seated position on the branch and stood firmly before the dark haired woman. If they were about to make a deal then it should be done professionally. "My terms are simple. Mortals sustain the spider god quite well but I have been trying to figure out if there is something better." Elise then brought her eyes to stare directly into Morgana's. "You seem very knowledgeable and thought maybe you knew a solution. If not then I just need a hand in bringing in more of my followers. That would mean changing your appearance a bit to look more approachable but I can only take so many at a time," she finished, hoping the angel understood.

"Ah, yes, the big question that people are always asking me," Morgana smirked at Elise’s remark. "What shall I do once I’ve slain her, you ask?" The Fallen Angel’s sinister tone quickly melted away into one that sounded far less harsh and more solemn. "The one thing that I’ve learned in this world that I’m sure of, is that peace is the greatest lie of all." She smiled a bit as she quoted her ex Darkin lover. "Angels love to fight almost as much as humans do, and that is something that I can’t change. What I can change, however, is the balance of power in the heavens." 

Morgana spoke with a renewed fervor and confidence. “With Kayle out of the way, the righteous society of angels will crumble, and that is where my Fallen brethren and I shall take our place. For millennia, we have suffered for the betrayal of our own “divine” brethren. Their cries for peace shall be heard no more. We had enough of their lies and foolishness. They are the ones that are beyond redemption, not us,” the Fallen Angel continued, a faint glow in her eyes as she spoke. “You’ll hear the Judicator’s side of the story soon enough. They offered peace. We simply bit back the hand that betrayed us in the first place.” 

Her voice filled with strong determination, Morgana didn’t care that Elise probably thought that this feud was stupid. It was the very purpose of her existence. “Many Fallen have suffered and died since the gods forsake us, it was only fair for us to reply with a massive genocide of their own spoiled kind that were allowed to eat, drink, and sleep soundly at night. Now, no one is safe while Kayle’s brand of tyranny exists. I am not looking for peace, but change. The Fallen shall have the lives of security and prosperity that they were long denied, and I want to be the one to give it to them.” 

Those words were something even she could agree with as she gave a small nod, not wanting to interrupt the woman as she spoke. Her nails tapping ever so gently at the branch beneath her as she imagined a peaceful world. It was impossible as there was always going to be hatred and negativity. No one was perfect and certainly no one was completely nice. A world without war or killing was just a dream that would never come true. Especially since giving sacrifices was the reason she was still alive till this point. The blessing of the spider god making her immortal but only if she brought him victims so he could feed from. Elise would never stop doing that, she wanted to live and be this strong creature she had become due to him. Her eyes gazed over the fallen angel for a second with a soft smile on her face. "Who doesn't love a fight or two. Nothing is better than to feel the bones of someone you dislike crack and to see them cry out in pain." To most she probably looked delusional as she smiled happily at the pain others felt but maybe Morgana could understand her. "We all have a fight in us. Some just have to prod a little harder to see it come out," she stated simply.

She couldn't possibly imagine the war between the fallen angels and the ones that sat comfortably in their peaceful homes. It wasn't one she'd like to be part of and thankfully she was here doing her own thing. She could hear the sheer confidence in the woman's voice and it was hard to picture her not getting her way. "I see. Well now it's all a game of wait and see then. I will just sit in my web and watch as the story unfolds," she said, glancing up to the skies. The battle would continue happening until who knows when and until it was over those blue skies would always be filled with the most interesting of fights.

"Well, unlike her, I do have a sense of humor, although it is a dark one at best. But, yes, she really can’t take a joke. Takes things far too seriously, to the point that I think she will eventually lose her mind over such things. It’ll be a great opportunity to overwhelm her stupid armies that will blindly follow her into the fray," the Fallen Angel took a more strategic approach to the matter, thinking in terms of how this would help her in battle. "Her body and armor may be strong and protect her, but it is really her will and soul that are weak.  I will make sure that I’ll utterly crush both." 

The woman liked the way that the fallen angel thought and nodded lightly as if condoning her acts. She lifted both her arms and grasped the nearest branch to the ground before pulling up so she could rest herself upon it. Elise much preferred to be off the ground and when she had the chance, she took it. Her left leg rested on her right one as she placed each hand beside her to keep a good grip on the branch. There was no need to fall in front of a fellow champion and look like an idiot. "Tell me, Morgana. What do you have planned after your sister has been slayed? This seems like the event everyone is waiting for even you." Her eyes stared down at the angel but not in a superior way, it was more out of pure curiosity. "But will you let it just go dull afterwards?"

She paused, taken aback by Elise’s question. “Well, the real question I should be asking you is why you confronted the Judicator anyway. Not exactly the most sociable of beings in this world, yet all are drawn to her,” Morgana scoffed in disgust, crossing her arms. Sighing, she then quickly apologized for her suspicions, “Do pardon my strange questions. This week has been an uneventful, but difficult one to bear.” 

Elise scoffed along with Morgana's words as she had dealt with the woman to know that was true. It had been far from enjoyable and she wished she could take it back. "I found her in the training grounds. Decided to tease her a bit but she was out of her mind. One moment she is acting like she is drunk and the next she is throwing insults at me while wanting a fight. She can't take a joke, can she?" The woman was stating this as calmly as she could, not wanting to blow up once more. Her hands balling into fists slightly but releasing after awhile. Morgana seemed more tolerable at the moment than her sister was. The Spider Queen nodded at the fallen angel as if she understood. Her nails tapping gently at the skin of her arm as she leaned her shoulder against a tree bark. "No need to apologize, Morgana. We all have our problems."
