Summary: Arthur speaks to Guinevere just after she's given up Bran. For drabbles100.
"You did it, then," Arthur says, when he sees Guinevere. He does not wait for her to look at him, but looks away, to avoid those bright blue eyes.
"I did," she says, evenly, as if from a great distance. There's a crack waiting somewhere behind the steadiness, but he knows she won't show him that now. He clears his throat.
"I would have accepted him."
She says nothing.
"He'll be just as trapped as I was," Arthur says, then, softer still. For a moment, he lets their eyes meet. And then he looks away again. "He'll be as alone."
