It's just after dawn and the grounds of Camelot Castle were still quiet, because unless you're a servant or peasant who'd up at this hour

Morgana does not sneak. No, she would never admit to such a thing. Any movement that goes unnoticed is due to her own stealth, not any sort of behaviour of which she might be ashamed.

Still, she would rather not be caught.

She's up, and armored (dressing herself for it, as why concern Gwen with such a thing), and with her arming sword in hand, off to the training grounds.

Someone needs a reminder that history cannot be rewritten, no matter how powerful one's father is.

Arthur is, to put is bluntly, about to relearn a lesson Morgana taught him years ago.

"It is dawn, and here we are. It is an honourable start, to say the least." She has no intention of starting the duel with any animosity. She's confident in the outcome.

Arthur's got his smirk on - he also put his own armour on, tempting as it was to get Merlin up at the crack of dawn. Merlin's a hideous liar however, can't have him following or blabbing or whatever.

"I'm always honourable." He unshealths his sword - he loves that sound! It means serious business.

"Right! Knight's rules?"

"Knight's rules, but as we have eliminated to the death," Morgana smiles, but it's more like she's spotted some prey she'll easily hunt. "I would have to say first blood then. Neither of us can be scarred too greatly."

She leaves out the obvious that scars would tell Uther what they've been doing. It is something she would rather avoid. As it stands, she can only hope that the sound of their swords, won't bring some curious guard, or servant, running.

Unsheathing her own sword, she bows -- none of that ladylike curtsying that many at court would expect of her.

No, she's playing by the knight's rules, so a bow, to show respect to her opponent, is in order here.

"Of course not." He raises his eyebrows. "Fine, smooth skin is one of a lady's biggest concerns, after her hair."

Oooo, he's asking for it.

But he bows too - because really he does respect Morgana, but he'd never say so!
