Morgan's mind needed to be cleared, she knew there were things even she didn't know after nearly 1000 years of life, but she had to believe she could learn anything if given a chance. It was just that the problem facing them lately was a bit to much for the sorceress, and she was having issues. So a walk was what she decided she needed through the forest like she used to take with her brother long ago. Sighing softly, she listened to the sound of the wind through the trees. She loved the sounds of the night.
"If only my mentor were alive, if only my brother was around. His love of humanity was a great inspiration to me" she spoke into the night, to no one in particular besides herself. "The Council is wonderful, and they have been like family to me for for hundreds of years, but they will never replace those I had." She sighed, she wasn't crazy, she just enjoyed talking to the animals, and to the night.
She sat down in a clearing and closed her eyes. No matter if someone or something came up to her or not she still needed to clear her mind. She took in a few deep breaths and let them out listening to the sounds of crickets and owls.

Walking his dog. That was what Benjamin was doing at night in the middle of the woods. Well, it was Saturday evening. Even one of the world's most important men deserved the occasional break. Benjamin enjoyed wilderness 'outings', anyway, even in the cold. He leaned wandered through the trees, cigarette in one hand and the leash to said dog in the other. The Shepherd sniffed the air, ears pricked and brown eyes pleased at the opportunity for an outing. Benjamin was glad the dog was happy, even if really the point of it was as a guard and not a pet. Try telling the dog that. The pooch wagged his tail and grinned excitedly. Even one of the most important dogs in the world deserved the occasional break. He watched for passerby on the thin trail. It was more habit than requirement, as nobody around here would know who he was..or would be in any position to do something about him, even if they did. Not even 'Benjamin Behrouz is in the woods now' would get the pathetic excuse for English law enforcement to scramble. And if they did, Benjamin could always sue for racism. Heh. Sometimes being vaguely religious and not exactly white worked out well. "If only my mentor were alive, if only my brother was around. His love of humanity was a great inspiration to me." Dog and human stopped immediately, the Shepherd sniffing the air, suddenly all business. The reaction from Benjamin was scarcely different, except for the part where he reached into his jacket pocket for something. "The Council is wonderful, and they have been like family to me for for hundreds of years, but they will never replace those I had." Benjamin smiled.
The speaker, he now saw, was in a clearing ahead, facing the other direction. Looked human, but the 'hundreds of years' part sort of made it obvious that she wasn't. Ah, an opportunity. It wasn't every day one ran right into this kind of person. Benjamin took his hand out of his pocket, straightened the leather jacket, and rearranged his features quickly. A normal human, walking his dog. No way in hell he knew anything about magic. Comes across this woman by accident. He strolled forward, making far more noise than he had been before, the dog padding along beside looking pleasant and well-trained. Benjamin paused suddenly, as if just seeing the person in the clearing, and affixed a faint smile to his face. It was difficult. He wasn't used to acting like a pleasant middle-aged American. But he could do it. Benjamin was a man of many talents. "Hello..miss?" There was no way the woman could have missed his arrival, coming in like he did, but Benjamin had to act like he didn't know that. He wanted contact with magicicians and the like, but having them know his name wasn't what he wanted just yet. Better to wait a few days.

Morgan was on her guard when she sensed him. Long before he made a noise she knew. Something was not right about this man, he seemed to be trying to hard to seem like he was just there. She turned her head rather quickly at his words. "Le Fey, Morgan Le Fey" She spoke the words quickly but elegantly.
Standing and straightening her old fashioned dress she watched him. Something was off. What was it though, she wondered. "Who might you be?"
(sorry that sucks)
