16th Road of Man [Video]

[See the vegetables near Unicorn. See her horn glow and her rear up to trample them quickly under hoof.

See her horn slice into more.

See her calm back down and sit down with some vegetables curled up beside her in content.]

[The first encounter he ever had with a unicorn went terribly, spectacularly wrong and even if it's linked with magic, this time, he'll be polite and respectful.

Hopefully there aren't more who will blab about that time he kind of killed one.

He made up for it and it was reborn, he's made peace with the unicorns and Anhora.]

Well...that's one way to get rid of killer vegetables I suppose.

[knows_remorse]

They are merely vegetables Arthur.

[princeclotpole]

[It spoke.

It knows his name.

Why do so many people know him and Merlin?]

How do you know my name and how can you talk?

[knows_remorse]

We have spoken before speech was a concept to man.

[princeclotpole]

We...we have?

[He makes a thoughtful/oh God what am I meant to say type noise.]

Wait, how could we speak before the content of speech?

[knows_remorse]

Unicorns, not man.

[princeclotpole]

Are you trying to say I was a unicorn?

[Not even Merlin would say something that ridiculous. He's horribly confused.]

[knows_remorse]

When I said "we" I meant unicorns, not man and certainly not you, Arthur.

[Her tone suggests she's wondering how such a man can rule a kingdom if he can barely keep up.]

[princeclotpole]

Right, sorry, didn't have the best first meeting with your kind back in Camelot.

[He sighs and wonders how to proceed. Good thing his father isn't here and that Merlin can't see or hear this.]

Well I suppose it's nice to meet you. Again. If I apparently knew you before.

[knows_remorse]

You will come to know me.

[princeclotpole]

Is this later in my life? People keep expecting me to be the King already when my father Uther is still alive and well. It's...unsettling.

[Along with all that Merlin knows magic, Morgana is evil mumbo jumbo.]

[knows_remorse]

Indeed, Uther is long dead when we meet.

[princeclotpole]

[For a long moment he falls silent until he eventually speaks again.]

Do you know how my father died?

[knows_remorse]

Humans constantly die.

[princeclotpole]

That's not what I meant. Did he die in battle? Was he murdered or poisoned or was he an old man? You can't tell me that you knew me after the death of my father and then dismiss it as something that happens to people.

[There's a frustrated sigh; his loved ones are hurt enough and now, stuck here, he's probably going to be worrying about how everyone is in Camelot.]

He's my father. We may not always see eye to eye on issues but I still love him and he's done everything he could for me and has shaped me into the man I am and the King I will one day be.

[knows_remorse]

Humans die all the time. How they die is of little concern to me.
