[ she goes to say something but stops, even if she asks she really does doubt he'll tell her, still she keeps the book open and stares at it a little. hopefully he will ignore this and you know she won't get caught out or something ] ---
Gwen...? Ah, you mean Guinevere? I do wonder, Morgana. Perhaps because she's a servant? I hardly have the sort of time to speak to all of them. [Plus you know, why would he bother?]
I was aware that you had one. [Because what person of her station wouldn't?] I have no reason to be speaking to your maid. I ran into her perchance at the clinic, that was all.
[ a pause, what in the name of everything holy. that hit really must've damaged your brain ] You speak as if you have no memory of her at all, you have crossed paths in Camelot before; when that creature had poisoned the water, when her father was killed, she was with us when we went to help Merlin's village.
That is because I do not! I do not recall ever coming across her in your chambers or elsewhere in Camelot. That is hardly anything new, it is a large castle and a large kingdom. I cannot meet everyone. [A pause] I recall all of those events perfectly. I think I would have noticed had she been present.
...Who was her father? [Just so he can place that one. Lots of men died who could have been fathers]
...That would certainly make quite a bit of sense. My 'permanent' loss has been changed after the accident. I was told that can sometimes happen. I have use of both of my eyes, currently.
[At least if he ever finds out now, he'll want to help you ♥]
[He's not...as happy as she is. He is an unsettled person now] Which is now the part that I cannot grasp. It is meant to be something important to you. The loss of my eye made it difficult for me to fight. I had to learn again. She is...Simply a servant. [Why wasn't it you?]
[Lmao, that would be one interesting conversation, depending on his anger about the subject by then]
Then there is no reason to discuss it any longer. [Because they aren't going to get anywhere. The reason she's important is obviously gone for him and she hasn't been home yet]
[This person, he can't tell;]
...Yes?
[Arthur;]
It's nothing, my apologies. [ ugh why couldn't you have been asleep or something ]
[Morgana;]
If it was nothing, you would not have left the filter in place.
[Arthur;]
I did not think you were awake.
[Morgana;]
I would have seen it once I had woken.
[Arthur;]
a sigh ] I would have removed it before you woke.
[Morgana;]
I do not wish to play games, Morgana. There is a reason you filtered. You may as well inform me.
[Arthur;]
[Morgana;]
[Arthur;]
You sound well. [ or at least better than you were when you woke up :| ]
[Morgana;]
[And that was it?] That is because I am.
[Arthur;]
I am glad, childish fits are rather unbecoming.
[Morgana;]
Then isn't it fortunate that you removed yourself from my presence.
[Arthur;]
That it is.
[Morgana;]
[Arthur;]
Gwen told me you do not know who she is, why is that?
[Morgana;]
Gwen...? Ah, you mean Guinevere? I do wonder, Morgana. Perhaps because she's a servant? I hardly have the sort of time to speak to all of them. [Plus you know, why would he bother?]
[Arthur;]
Arthur she's been my maid for many years, you both know her and have spoken to many occasions.
[Morgana;]
I was aware that you had one. [Because what person of her station wouldn't?] I have no reason to be speaking to your maid. I ran into her perchance at the clinic, that was all.

[Arthur;]
Tom, the blacksmith.
[Morgana;]
...That was an...Unfortunate event. I did not think he had any children.
[Arthur;]
[ not commenting further on that, only makes her remember how she almost had Uther killed ]
[Morgana;]
[At least if he ever finds out now, he'll want to help you ♥]
[Arthur;]
[ he may never will, unless something happens which causes her to tell him. she's rather worried about what he'd do if he ever found out ]
[Morgana;]
[Lmao, that would be one interesting conversation, depending on his anger about the subject by then]
[Arthur;]
[ oh yes, very interesting ]
[Morgana;]
