[ 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?

	[Life is tough. He'd probably be able to handle it better if she were awful to him.] [He won't reply again, instead trying to get himself together so he can indeed head to the hotel's reception, waiting for her whenever she'll come by.] [He can do this, he can be civil. Hopefully.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ She makes her way there quickly, still giving curious and not entirely trusting glances toward all the things she's never seen before - the lights, for one. They hurt to look at and she's already learned not to. And the fashions here, in decorating and design, seem so childish. This is very much not her world. ]

Merlin.

[ She smiles to see him and hurries to his side - were it Gwen, she would have gone for a hug right away, but they two are not so close. Still, she's openly pleased to see him. ]

	[Meanwhile, he's the opposite - he's tense and shifting his look away from her. He's so used to instantly being defensive around her, that it's difficult not to even if this Morgana is no threat to him, not even if she wanted to be.] [...] Morgana. [Not "my lady" or any formalities.] Is Arthur alright? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ He has called her by her name before, even in her time, so it isn't that that makes the smile slip from her face - it's his air. The way he stands, the way he speaks. She recalls him snatching his arm from her grip when she'd tried to warn him of what she'd seen. But while for her that was no more than a day ago, for him it must have been so long, he looks so much older just as Arthur does...

Has he changed so much? Or has she done something to deserve this? ]

He was when I saw him. Are you..?

	[A little too quickly, he replies,] I'm fine. It's just... It's been a long time, with just Arthur and I here. It's strange to see someone from back home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	woken 2015-02-22 02:02 am UTC (link)
	... Of course. [ Still she looks concerned. ] I suppose at least you had each other. [ No quip about how Arthur couldn't manage without his servant. This really must be serious. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He seems to tense again, for entirely different reasons.] Did he say anything about that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	woken 2015-02-22 02:07 am UTC (link)
	He didn't. Should he have? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Shakes his head.] It's nothing. [He'll leave Arthur to deal with that.] Did you want to ask about magic? [Why else would you want to talk to him specifically, now.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ How abrupt. She blinks for a moment, surprised, and looks away nervously. ] Well, yes, I... I suppose I did. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Time for his favorite phrase.] I was born with it. Even as a child, I could move objects around, and things like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ She's silent for a long moment, biting her lips, considering her words carefully. ] I... I have seen things, Merlin. Since I was a child I have had... dreams, as I'm sure you know, but now the more I see the more I am sure... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	partofmycharm 2015-02-22 02:24 am UTC (link)
	[He nods, knowing all of this of course.] Yes, it's magic that's giving you those dreams. Magic more powerful than you can even imagine at this time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ That is certainly not the response she expected. ] ... How can you know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They're visions of the future, what else would they be? It's not just magic, it's rare magic. [And he knows you can use other types of magic, of course.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	woken 2015-02-22 02:39 am UTC (link)
	Yes, I... of course. [ She's frowning, still trying to make sense of all of this. ] In your time, I must already have told you. [ And maybe - maybe - told Arthur. Gwen. Found their love unwavering as she has feared she wouldn't. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[...] I knew before you even told me. [He does manage to sound guilty about that - there's a lot about those times he regrets now.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	partofmycharm 2015-02-22 02:46 am UTC (link)
	Because of your dreams. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So... when I spoke with you about them before, in Camelot... [ You lied to me? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[BLATANTLY.] You're Uther's ward. If you knew you had magic, it would've been dangerous for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You thought I couldn't handle myself. [ She has worried the same - but that's different. ] You thought you would make my choices for me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He won't tell the truth - that he wanted to tell you, he argued against hiding this from you. That Gaius and Kilgharrah told him not to.] I wanted to protect you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
