*Guinevere's response was left with the Bar yesterday, and she still awaits some acknowledgement.

A seat by the fire, then, and a harp to give her hands something to do.*

He had conveyed the letter to the king -- and had not even needed to ask if there would be a reply, because the look on his lord's face after reading the letter was reply enough in and of itself.

So at the sight of Guinevere seated by the fire, he heads over to her. His hands are empty, but he has a message all the same.

'Madam.' Quietly, as always. 'Good evening.'

*looking up* Merlion. Good evening.

*She stills the strings of her harp.*

'Your missive was received,' he says simply. 'I have no note to convey in return, but I do have a message. And that is to inform you that whenever you are prepared to leave this place...my lord bids you welcome.'

*To her surprise, Guinevere finds herself momentarily speechless. Suddenly, it feels real.*

I -- I thank you, Merlion.

*And then she smiles, true and full.*

Thank you.
