Igraine
Who: Uther and Morgana.
What: Uther tells Morgana about the girl he married.
When: Six days after this.
Where: The castle, probably.
Rating: C for complicated!
Status: Complete and private.
Rain had fallen here in the night, but with the morning's oblique sunlight the leaves and grass had begun to shake themselves dry. The eternal snow had melted at last, revealing to Uther a world he had not been certain existed.
In places some clouds remained. The light, though, slanting down from the east to brush the grey castle walls, like grace, dissolved those clouds, evaporated the dew, and with clement warmth burned away the night and winter's chill.
Uther had stolen out of bed to walk in the daybreak alone. He had things to think about, emotions to sort. Everything had changed between yesterday and today, and he knew he must make it clear in his own mind before speaking to Morgana. Before looking into too-bright eyes and facing the hurt that was sure to come.
