[ 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?

	[ All she can do is smile at that. Because it is a relief to know that in ten years he hasn't gotten himself killed yet. ] I only hope I can say the same. [ ... You did sort of walk into that one. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Aha, shit, he totally did walk into that one............... f...uck.] [...] You've certainly found means to keep yourself busy over the years, yes. [That's. neutral, right?] [And now they're approaching the hotel, so he's gesturing to it] This is where everyone stays. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ She would have said more, asked more, had they not at this moment approached the hotel. It's lucky it cuts her off. She considers it for a moment; more humble than the palace, but that's hardly difficult. It isn't as if she's so prudish to turn her nose up at it. ]

It'll certainly be an experience.

[ Well, she's never stayed in a hotel before. She immediately thinks of - Gwen. She would have told her about it... Eyes cast down, Morgana sighs quietly. ]

The people I spoke with explained that she must not even know I'm gone, but... I can't shake the feeling that Gwen's still waiting for me.

Don't worry about the price. [He has a job here, after all, something he's sure she'll find hilarious once she's settled and he can actually tell her about it]

And although I haven't experienced it myself -- [and never will] -- those who have returned to their lands only to be brought back here again can confirm that time back home really has been stopped.

I understand not being able to shake that feeling, though. [... except now he's thinking of Guinevere, too, and... sob.] I promise, when you return, Guinevere will be there with you.

Even when I thought she was going to be executed, even then I still...

[ She bites her lips, fighting back tears that prove too much for her. It's not just this, though this may be the catalyst - it's everything, all of the sudden change she wasn't ready for, it's overwhelming. ]

... I still had the chance to say goodbye...

[ Her voice cracks on the last word and her shoulders are already shaking with the effort not to cry. She is stronger than this, she has to be stronger than this... ]

	[Makes a soft sound at that, one of sympathy and regret, really -- but more just distressed that she's upset] [Steps to her, pulling her into another hug, tentative at first] I know. [........................] That's the worst part. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He may be tentative about it, but she pays no mind, hands resting on his chest as she ducks her head and allows it to happen. Soft, quiet tears, and she says no more for a long moment - until a rueful, humourless little laugh escapes her. ] How funny you must find me, distraught over a servant...

	No, of course not. [Maybe once upon a time he'd have laughed at her, but not when it's her] She-- she isn't just a servant. [To you or to him] It's Guinevere. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She was the only one who'd be honest with me. Everyone else was always too frightened of Uther.

[ Finally she steps back, blinking and trying to dab at her eyes with a sleeve in the least undignified way possible. ]

Even you were too scared half the time.

[ The words have been said more harshly by her before - she's mostly trying to make light of the situation now, trying to manage a smile. ]

[He manages a small smile, in turn - part of him feels the sting of the words, even if in this case she doesn't mean it harshly, only because he knows it's the truth as much as he'd like to protest... but his father has always been something he's had issues with, especially now]

[But he shakes his head and looks away politely for a moment so she can wipe at her eyes, not wanting her to feel he's making fun of her for it, but his smile is soft as he continues to think of Gwen]

Yes... Guinevere has always given unbiased opinions. She's one of the bravest women to ever walk the earth, I think.

And here I thought you hardly noticed the servants.

[ A small laugh before she looks up, away and around, at the place itself more than anything. ]

Perhaps I can make something of myself in this place. Be more than a decoration at the king's left hand, to be handed to his son should no more advantageous match come along.

[ A beat. ]

... No offence meant, of course.
