[ The handwriting is slanted, practiced, fluid and feminine. She does not write much, but she has been taught well. ]

My name is Lady Morgana, ward of King Uther Pendragon of Camelot.

I'm afraid I don't quite understand how I came to be here. The maids who were sent to welcome me were very entertaining, but they seemed unwilling or perhaps unable to answer many of my questions. I fear that something dreadful may have happened - the last thing I remember is going to bed in the palace as normal. Was I taken ill?

The maids could not tell me where Guinevere might be, my own maid; or even Prince Arthur or the King himself. If I am truly able to speak to another by writing in this book, then I hope somebody will answer.

[ Something is written and scratched out, then written again. ]

Is this magic?

	It's not a joke. I have magic. [And it's even an understatement, to simply say he has magic.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You...

[ There's a flash of anger she didn't expect. Surprise, yes - but she has been so scared, felt so alone, and all this time...

There's only one thing she can think to say. ]

You didn't need Gaius's help to save the druid boy.

[ A pause. She considers telling him that she had suspected, or perhaps hoped, as much. But instead: ]

You could have told me.

[ Part of her knows it's not a fair thing to say. She is Uther's ward, after all, and Merlin but a servant. But she's hurt to find that she trusted him and he did not afford her the same courtesy. ]

	[This would perhaps be the last thing she'd expect to hear about that matter, with how the Merlin she remembers was and how invested in helping Mordred he had been at the time. But that's a bit of a berserk button.] I should've never helped him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ She's so taken aback by that that for a moment she's lost for words. ] Merlin, how can you say that? He was just a child! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It doesn't matter now. [...] It's been years since that happened, for me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Because... because he's been here. Somehow while still being as she knows him, in Camelot. Of course. It still makes no sense. But she can't think about it right now. ] Does Arthur know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	partofmycharm 2015-02-12 05:47 pm UTC (link)
	[Almost dismissively:] Arthur knows everything about me. [Watch him speak over you now.] Is that the last thing you remember, then? Mordred? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

And neither of you thought to trust me with this before now.

[ She might not yet be the twisted sorceress Merlin knows, but she's not about to roll over and accept this. Not from anyone. ]

No.

[ She considers leaving it there, refusing to share anything further. But this is not the time to be difficult just because she's angry. ]

There was... the beast. I warned Arthur not to go, but he wouldn't listen.

He didn't know in the time you rememeber. He won't know for years... We're a decade apart, you and I. [There's a whole lot you don't yet know. That you probably can't even imagine.]

[He's ignoring the trust remark. Once he might've felt guilty and awful about that, about knowing he maybe didn't have to hide as much as he thought. Now... there're too many other memories clouding his mind, to bring himself to care about it.]

[ The confusing explanations of how time works here leave her no wiser as to what sort of decade he means. A decade in this land? A decade in Camelot? Some form of both, or neither?

Her anger breaks like a storm. Loneliness, sadness, fear fall like rain and put out the fire in a moment.

It takes her a while to write back. ]

I apologise, then. For not having been somebody you might speak with. I hope there was someone.

	I couldn't tell you. I couldn't tell anyone. [Those few who knew only found out by chance, not by his own confession of it. And he refuses to be apologetic about it, when hiding for so long was so difficult.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm trying to tell you that I understand, Merlin. What's gotten into you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~What is it like, to have magic? Do you think another would know for sure if they had it, too?~~ [ She scratches out the words hurriedly, frantically, more than perhaps she needs to. ] May I speak with you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
