Morgan did indeed halt... right in the middle of chewing his own mouthful of cookie. The desserts here were actually really good (especially since back home people only ever seemed to want to bake pies.)

"Huh?" was his first response, but then he remembered his manners and also an idea of what Owain might mean. He swallowed the cookie. "Oh, wait. By 'anointed', you mean we should do battle, right?" He still couldn't slip into 'Justice Cabal' mode as effortlessly as Owain could. Which was probably a good thing.
