But it isn't like Raphael minds answering. He hadn't slept particularly well, and he's already awake when the call comes in (so at least he's had a chance to shower). ]
House 25 is pretty close to Morgan's house, so he shows up in no time and knocks away. When Raphael does answer, he might find a sword pointed in his face, maybe. Definitely. ]
Hehe. You really are as cool as a cube. But look at what I've got!
[ He flips the sword around so its handle is to Raphael. A rapier -- and possibly a familiar one, as it was Morgan's close companion in the maze. Also one of the better swords in the armory, seeing as Morgan had his pick of the litter before most others. ]
I did say any spare sword I knew of would find its way to you. So... here it is! Congratulations!
[ Morgan beams at Raphael's reaction. Boys and their weapons. ]
Zohra smuggled it out for me when he left the maze. And I already have the one I brought from home, so why hog all the fun? Be sure to get well-acquainted with it! Anything could happen.
[ And then the sword is in his hand, and he's examining it, like he's looking for anything wrong. He isn't picky, though--he's learned not to be, long ago--and it feels light and comfortable in his hand.
Vaguely he remembers Zohra's name (they've only met once), so he'll have to thank him, too... if he remembers. ]
It's perfect! I'll use it for sure, don't you worry.
Much better. A little bit of food, lots of water, and plenty of rest have me like new again. I'm ready for the new day! And you're already looking a spry sight yourself.
[ So Raphael moves out of the way for him, and he makes a mental note to say hi to the other Morgan for him--though he can't help but think it's a bit of a joke, anyway.
Then comes the question. Not that he really minds it, but it is a bit random, he thinks, as he shuts the door. ]
Sort of. Ada got one for surviving the maze. My violin friend disappeared before I ever got him to play for you, but I'm sure Ada would be glad to do it instead!
[ How unusual. Nothing in Haven ever feels spick and span, and even the "new" and "nicer" luxuries are nothing to write home about. He's trying to imagine this piano, though is content to leave it at that when Morgan continues. ]
Oh, yeah! We're pretty good friends. [ He brightens a bit as he says so. ] She's really shy, so I've been trying to get her to come out of her shell a little...
Without stepping on any toes, that is.
[ She did mention she was seeing someone... though it might be a bit too forward, even for him, to ask Morgan about that. ]
[ ??? EXCEPT HE MEANT IT PLATONICALLY because he's too stupid to think about that stuff?!?! He's also pretty dense so it's going to take a bit longer for him to understand what Morgan was getting at. ]
Huh?
[ HE DOESN'T... KILL LADIES...
okay no he actually knows what that means, which is why his voice is laced with a light chuckle.

Oh, hey. I'm in number 25, the second room.
What's up?

[ Beep, hanging up. Sterling phone etiquette.

Heya, Raphael!
no subject
He's still got the phone in his hand when he answers the door, seeming unbothered by the sudden end to the conversation.
Or the sword, which doesn't look at all strange in Morgan's hand(s). ]
Long time no see. [ --said in a small laugh, with sarcasm. ] I think I'm getting mixed signals.

...But then he's staring at the handle being jutted in his direction and slowly reaches for it. It finally hits him that it's his now. ]
Whoa. [ equal parts impressed and boyishly excited. ] You serious?

[ He grins. ]
Merci, Morgan. How are you feeling, anyway...?

[ He nods in agreement. Compared to yesterday, he does feel rather like a million euros or more, and he only helps. ]
I promised your sister I'd bring over a new me to visit, after some rest and food. But that's about all I've got planned for today.
You can come in if you want.
no subject
Oh? Tell her I said hi! [ Not that he doesn't say it himself every day. ] By the way, are you very familiar with pianos?
no subject
Then comes the question. Not that he really minds it, but it is a bit random, he thinks, as he shuts the door. ]
I don't play, if that's what you mean.
...Why? Did you find one?
no subject
Sort of. Ada got one for surviving the maze. My violin friend disappeared before I ever got him to play for you, but I'm sure Ada would be glad to do it instead!
no subject
[ ...He looks really excited, though he really would have loved to hear the violin while he had the chance. It feels like it's been ages. ]
I'll have to ask her. Though I did tell her before that I'd love to hear her play.
no subject
[ Which was, in fact, true. Morgan doesn't know it, but Ada's been too guilty to play the thing. ]
I didn't know you knew Ada too! She and I are roommates, y'know.

Oh. Ohhh.
[ Toes... being stepped on... HE GETS YOUR CODE, BRO. ]
You know about that too, huh? But boy, Raphael, that possibility didn't even occur to me. You're a genuine ladykiller, huh?
no subject

[ HE DOESN'T... KILL LADIES...

He remembers the party again. It seems so long ago now, and he'd spoken to Ada there, too. ]
Hey now. The bottle forced my hand.
[ Which is a flimsy excuse for the boy who insisted Morgan had a choice.
Which he did. ]

honor demanded it ]
Ha ha. I should thank you for that spin, I think. It worked out for the best! That game was a little fun, in retrospect.
