Morgana was quite estatic when Gwen had invited her over. Perhaps estatic was too strong of a word but she hadn't been quite able to kill her smile since the invitation. Not even Arthur acting like a brat made things worse. It had been quite some time since she and Gwen had spent any considerable time together. They had seen each other at the wedding. That was about it. Which was just as much her fault as it was Gwen. Yet Morgana was pleased to have the opportunity to rectify the situation.
She had been a tiny bit disappointed when Gwen had invited Freya because it really had been an age since she and her best friend had some quiet time with just the two of them. Even back in their own time and Morgana knew from watching the show that things didn't get better. Nevertheless, she did like Freya. And she felt sorry for the poor dear. Morgana hoped that between herself and Gwen she could get the girl to relax a bit more. If not around this time period and the others in it, then around the two of them.
In any case around someone not Merlin. As much of a good friend Morgana had realized that Merlin truly was ... one did need other interactions besides one single person.
