"And what will this do for?" Morgana asked, a smile playing at her lips. She was curious about the box, but not overly so. Uther would tell her in time and she was mostly just enjoying his company.

Morgana was happy, and for Uther, it was as though a burden he had carried for a very long time had become light upon his shoulders. He had felt he should commemorate this feeling, and so he had contrived a small surprise--in a way, it had contrived itself--for Morgana.

He pivoted to look at her, smoothing his free hand along her shoulder and upper arm. "For your gift." He brandished the box with a flourish.

"A gift?" Morgana asked, raising an eyebrow and grinning. She was not one to turn down a gift easily. Especially one from Uther. "What is it?"

She took the box from him, examining the outside for a few moments before opening it up to reveal what was inside.

Perhaps she would be confused. Perhaps, when confronted with the interior of the box, she would find herself uncertain. For inside was a single glove, a gauntlet made of soft goat's skin. Uther had guessed at the specifics of Morgana's hand, but the gauntlet would fit well enough, and it would protect her entire arm.
