Raven finds herself in a empty hallway of what seems to be an old... castle? Her romantic (and well-hidden) side immediately likes this place. She walks down calmly passing by a couple of doors before she hears a familiar voice coming through one of them... Arthur? She knocks briefly at the door before her hand reaches for the handle.

A bit altered from a canon scene

[kingoftheround]

It takes Raven quite a bit of effort to get the door open, but she can eventually manage to pass through. When she walks into the room, she enters a large ornate hall: the throne room of Camelot's castle. Oblivious to her presence, she can see Arthur and his father, King Uther Pendragon, arguing loudly near the front of the hall. She can catch snippets of the conversation--something about poison, Merlin, a flower. Arthur looks and sounds more frustrated by the moment, but his father is having none of it. All he gets back is that manservants don't count as much as he does, that he is to be future king and this sort of behavior is unacceptable, that Arthur will be locked up in the dungeons if he so much as steps towards the exit of the castle. That he should accept the fact that people will die for him. It is how things are, and he should just get used to it

[feel_nevermore]

Raven gives a start when the door is slammed violently next to her. She clearly hears what the king says about Arthur as he leaves the room. But she immediately wishes she didn't. Arthur probably wouldn't wish for anyone to hear that. Also she can sense the anger and frustration still radiating from him further to his stormy discussion with his father.

Wondering if Arthur will be able to see her or just ignore her presence like his father did, she takes a few steps in his direction.

"...Arthur?"

[kingoftheround]

It takes a few moments for Arthur to calm himself down. Finally, he looks up at her.

"Raven. ...I am sorry if you saw all of that."

[showchoirstar]

It was beautiful.

Rachel had no idea where she properly was, but for the time being, she didn't really care. It was a gorgeous castle in the middle of a seemingly beautiful world -- what more could a girl want?

Though for the time being, curiosity was getting the better of her. She didn't want to go prying open doors and making a mess of things, but...

"Hello?"

[kingoftheround]

Rachel better dodge quickly upon opening the door, because a goblet hits the wall hard right next to her. Standing in front of her are two annoyed young men: Merlin and Arthur.

"What makes you think that you can just say the things you do? Do the things you do?"

"What are you even talking about--"

"You know exactly what I'm talking about, Merlin. How many times have you thrown yourself in harm's way for me? I don't care that I'm the crown prince. You hardly treat me like one anyway, you insubordinate git

[showchoirstar]

The goblet hitting the wall nearly causes Rachel to shriek, but her hands fly to her mouth to stifle the sound once she realizes who is in the room.

She relaxes minutely once she sees Arthur -- she hasn't had much of an opportunity to speak to Merlin, but Rachel supposes he's a safe enough individual -- but the conversation bothers her.

What could they possibly be talking about that has Arthur so upset?

She doesn't move to speak until Merlin leaves the room, brushing past her like she isn't even there. But once she does, Rachel steps into the room fully.

"Arthur?"

[kingoftheround]

It takes him a few moments to respond.

"...Rachel." He doesn't look at her yet. "What is it?"

[buntails]

It was absolutely gorgeous, a dream come to life! She could almost tell it was Camelot simply by its beauty, but not quite. She wavered in the courtyard, a bit intimidated by the vast newness of the place.

"Hello? Is someone there? Someone?"

(ooc: and feel free to return visit.)

[kingoftheround]

If Usagi looks around in the courtyard enough, she can find a slightly secluded spot where two figures sit on a bench. Next to Arthur is Guinevere, and the two appear to be talking softly to each other, fingers loosely intertwined. The conversation is brief, however. Guinevere looks hesitant for a moment before pulling away from him, giving him a soft smile before getting up and leaving, passing by Usagi.

And if she looks after Guinevere, she might see her meeting up in the other end of the courtyard with a certain other knight, Lancelot.

[buntails]

It's such a sweet scene that Usagi... immediately spies on it. She ducks behind the flimsy cover of a tree and totally watches the two- until Guinevere passes right by her. Crap. Was she spotted?

Usagi looks much less amused, slightly worried, as Guinevere seems to leave Arthur; the symbolism of the dream is easy to follow that much.

[kingoftheround]

Arthur's eyes don't follow Guinevere; he's looking up at the sky now, thoughtful. There's still a small smile on his face, but at the same time, he's slightly troubled.

[kingoftheround]

It's been a tough day of training for all the knights; Arthur's been working them hard, and Roland can tell by the exhaustion showed by the rest of the knights. It isn't until the sun is setting that Arthur call it a day. The rest of the faces are relieved as they all but hobble off of the field.

But Arthur remains, and is still training, practicing his sword work despite the look of exhaustion on his own face.

[kingoftheround]

The voice took him out of his trance, and he took a deep breath, turning around.

"...Roland, was it not?" he asked, wiping the sweat off of his brow.

[halflingfox]

Fox wandered through the castle, utterly awed. It was everything she'd imagined Camelot would be, connecting the dots to where this is easily given her own connection to the legends of the British Isles. She wanders around curiously, hoping to spot Merlin or Arthur here. She's not really trying to hide, but she's not really trying to stick her nose into anything she shouldn't, either. Yet.

[kingoftheround]

When Fox goes into a room, she'll find herself in a room in a completely different castle. This one is dark and long abandoned, dusty with cobwebs hanging everywhere. If she glances into the other room, she'll see a group of knights, an old man, and a certain wizard gathered around a fire. A large, round stone table can also be seen there.

In this room, however, Arthur is brooding quietly to himself, staring out a window.

[halflingfox]

If she goes into the other room, Fox figures she'll just be able to spy on things that might or might not even be important. Finding a person alone, however, meant there was a chance of being able to talk to them. She walks over to Arthur and leans against the window sill.

"Got a load on your mind?"

[kingoftheround]

"To say the very least," he answers, recognizing the voice. "With Camelot under attack and overtaken, by my half-sister of all people... To say that the future is uncertain is a massive understatement."
