[For a minute, Arthur sits very quietly at the kitchen table of the cottage, looking off to one side as he sighs. The tone he's using is somewhere between 'upset and doing his damnedest not to show it' and 'clearly not in the mood for any of this'.]

For those of you that might have known and befriended him, Merlin is gone.

He wasn't in his room when I got up, his stuff was gone and his name isn't on the Dreamberry anymore. [And then there was that feeling you get when someone just isn't there that you can't explain without sounding utterly mental.]

I'm not going to get my hopes up. Besides, better for him to be in Camelot where he belongs instead of in some dream world and I know there are people who can make sure he doesn't get himself killed in Camelot.

[He pauses there and shakes his head, still frowning but trying not to show it.]

Thank you for the offer but I think I need some time to myself just now. As for the horse - I already have Tarrento and this horse will just go to waste so it's better for him to go to someone who'll actually have a use for him.

Did you know him? [Beyond Jessamine he didn't really keep track of who knew Merlin and who didn't and he isn't really sure if this is just a 'sorry your friend is gone' message or a 'he was my friend too' message and it's awkward enough to record the message in the first place.]

Well, Guinevere cares about him as do some of the newer Knights and I'm sure the others will behave. Leon will make sure of that. And there's Gaius too...Merlin will be fine.

[The awkward, at least for him, increases because while it's rude to turn down hospitality and offers like that, he has no clue who this girl that's trying to make him feel better even is.]

I appreciate that. I don't think we've been introduced though, I'm Arthur, Arthur Pendragon.

[Well when the inevitable dream happens, someone's in for a surprise.]

I'm surprised about how many people he actually befriended when I had a month's head start on him.

Lovely to meet you Naminé.
