Show Them All | Gwen, Morgana, Arthur | PG (part 2 of 2)
That did not sound quite right to Gwen, but she was hardly about to argue. Or talk, at all.
“...Arthur's fault,” Morgana repeated certainly.
“What's my fault?” Arthur, sounding unimpressed, walked in, giving Gwen a curious look as he did.
“Everything!” Morgana declared, sitting up so suddenly that she had to steady herself. Arthur moved to give her a hand, but Gwen's prone form was in his way.
With a little frown, Arthur leaned over and snagged the near-empty bottle that was on the table nearby. He gave it a sniff and raised an eyebrow. “Where did you get whisky?”
Morgana flung out a hand, for no apparent reason. “Supposed to be wine.”
“Thought not,” Gwen muttered into the rug.
Grinning a little, Arthur went to stand between them. “Morgana, you should sleep before you say anything you'll really regret.”
“Stupid knights,” Morgana complained, as she crawled up onto her pillow.
Both of Arthur's eyebrows went up that time. “Right. Make sure you sleep on your side.” He then went to lift Gwen up, who whimpered a little and, without the rug to hold onto, latched onto him like a burr. “Let's get you home, where you can sleep on your side, too.”
As they were walking out the door, Morgana called, “I'll show everybody! I'll be queen one day!”

Arthur shook his head. “Perish the thought.”
