video 001 ♠ Where is Arthur?

[secretpendragon]

[ Morgana is a little shaken, and that's understandable, considering what just happened in Somarium. The last time she'd seen Arthur had been... well... before all that destruction had happened. She just wants to make sure that he's alright. This was meant to be a private call for him, but she's a little panicked and she couldn't find his name on

Lady Morgana?

[Her voice is nearly unrecognizable, distorted by illness, but she still appears concerned over the tiny screen.]

He hasn't been home yet? Have you spoken to him since the attack?

[secretpendragon]

[ It takes a moment to recognize the voice. She'd ask you if you need anything, but right now... she's a little busy panicking over the fact that she hasn't seen or heard from Arthur in a while. ]

N-no! Not since... before the attacks began.

[stfuelly]

[She understands entirely; if this was her brother who had refused to answer her, she'd be in the same state of panic.]

He hasn't answered your calls?

[secretpendragon]

He hasn't... I can't find his name anymore.

[stfuelly]

His name? You mean...it's not showing up on the list anymore?

[secretpendragon]

[ Nods ]

It's not there anymore.

[stfuelly]

[She's silent a moment, but finally takes in a deep breath and answers.]

In that case...he's probably perfectly safe. He's just woken up.

[secretpendragon]

[ That stops her panicking. Actually, it stops her completely. And for a moment, Morgana is just stunned.

She supposed it was good, that Arthur had woken up. And she kept telling herself that it wasn't like she really cared for him all that much, anyways. He was a shit of a prince... always needing guidance in the right direction. Not to mention, a Pendragon.

But then... what was this churning feeling at the bottom of her stomach?

Finally: ] I... see...

[ A swallow. A deep breath. She's calmer, now. ]

That's good, then.

[stfuelly]

[She's hardly in a position to correct the lady. Of course it's not a good thing when one desires to keep that person selfishly by their side. It's a normal reaction to losing a loved one. Vanessa had given up on everything once Elliot had gone; she'd even desired to join him in death if that was her destiny. It had been foolish, and once he'd returned she'd felt too embarrassed to admit it to him.

It's troubling indeed, but to correct Morgana would be asking her to lose face as well.]

There's always a chance that he'll return. My brother was only gone from this place a week before he fell back asleep.

[secretpendragon]

[ She nods, but only half hears those words. ]

He's more needed in Camelot right now. If he's to become the great king that everyone here seems to think he will.

[ Her voice is firm, but she's really only saying these things to try and convince herself that she doesn't care. ]

[stfuelly]

[She has to move out of view of the camera for a moment to cover her mouth and muffle a small fit of coughing.]

Do you have faith that he will be - as well?

[secretpendragon]

He's... got a long way to go. But it isn't entire impossible, I suppose.

[stfuelly]

Perhaps then he'll return with good news of his rule.

[She doesn't want to assume one way or the other if Morgana is included in this future, as the lady seemed confused as to whether or not she'd lived through her last memory in their home. That part stays vague.]

[secretpendragon]

[ She smiles at that. ]

I'd like to see a changed Camelot.

[ Or, at least, hear about it. Since, Morgana believes she's dead. ]

[stfuelly]

Mm.

[A thoughtful pause.]

Are you familiar at all with the language of flowers?

[secretpendragon]

[ Shakes head ] Not particularly.
