[It's slipped under her door later in the day, along with one of the long, curling kind of flowers that he knows she likes.]

I'm sorry.

JOHN IS HERE OH MY GOD

Morgana.

It's Samantha. I can arrange for a public meeting if you were comfortable working together for the Teacher's Council. We can meet wherever you like, though I'd like somewhere in view of the public if that's alright.

The prat's up and left again, but I know where he is. Looks like we're going to be in Utgard for a couple days until he's calmed down some.

Did you need anything from there?

[ Arthur's been out of the house all day, between work, A Pinch of Sage and his visit with the King. He hadn't told anyone he was going, but then he hadn't really planned on making the trip to begin with. More of a tense and ready for the blow before diving right in sort of thing, which is why he comes home later in the evening looking perhaps a bit worse for wear but otherwise unharmed. A little more disappointed, a little more tired.

Also standing at Morgana's door, leaning against the frame. He's got a bowl of grapes in one hand, chewing on a couple, and is throwing a couple more at her head by way of announcing his presence.

Hello, big sister. c: ]

[On Morgana's desk, she'll find a neat stack of the fabric she asked Merlin to purchase for her in Utgard, as well as a bundle of white and blue wildflowers. Next to those items, there's a folded note that says: ]

Here's the cloth you asked for. Better make good use of them, it wasn't easy carrying them back with Arthur breathing down my neck about womanly hobbies.

[The last few words in that sentence are wobbly, like the one holding the quill was trying not to laugh while writing them. There's a gap, and then the writing is much steadier from that point on, though still a slanted scrawl.]

I saw the flowers on the way back. I thought you might like them.

Merlin

[It's a simple message, and earnest.]

Come walk with me?

Morgana. [He sounds like he's trying very hard to stay calm, but failing miserably.]

Have you seen Arthur today?

Morgana, I know there's something bothering you. Can you talk to me?

[On Morgana's desk, there's a small bundle of cookies--round medallions with red glaze in the shape of fire on one side. Folded neatly next to the cookies is a dark green cloak. There's also a hair accessory placed on top of the cloak. The note reads: ]

Something to keep you warm in the Yule season, my lady.

Merlin

Morgana? [Merlin looks a little confused.] Came to wake you up for breakfast, but you weren't there. Where'd you go?

Morgana? We are all worried - Merlin is beside himself. Please, if you are listening to this, let us how you are.

[He hesitates for a moment, unsure of how to make his point.]

You have always been truthful to me, even when what you had to say was difficult. I cherish that about our friendship, and very much wish to save that. Whatever might have occurred - we can all find a solution to it together, you need not suffer on your own.

Morgana? Morgana are you coming home?

....are....are you still here?

[ Unlike the others, Arthur does not spam Morgana's bracelet with failed attempts to reach her. He sends only one message, short and quiet, video only because he will not hide from her, not now not ever. ]

Morgana.

[ But he is somber. A quiet resignation, a tiredness in his eyes. He knows, or he thinks he knows, because he would wish (had wished) an escape from it all as well. A pause, eyes lowering; he has only one thing he can say. ]

Please be well.

[ He cannot bid her return, and he will not demand explanations. He will do nothing, because what can he do to the woman that has done everything to make certain he has nothing left to give? Not the same, and yet very much so; either way, he wishes only one thing. Be well, because he cannot see you safe any longer, and he may never see you happy.

The message ends after only a brief pause, one moment's hesitation, the same one that will always stay his hand against her. If only he could do more - ]

Your family stands right here, all but begging you to notice. I ask naught of you but to listen - listen to how loved you are, how cherished. Listen and try to think of what can be accomplished if you take your bitterness and change it into cooperation. A kingdom built by both you and Arthur will be far stronger and more fair than any kingdom built by either of you separately. You say it yourself, your anger - your justified anger - is at the kingdom built by your father. But you yourself know that Arthur is different. You begged me to protect him and I swore I would with my life. I also swore to protect you and I shall do that, even if the foe I face is yourself.

[Outside of Morgana's door a small pack of her favorite chocolates is left.

On it is a little note, unsigned.

There is goodness still, you need only choose to see it.]

I know it's not my voice you want to hear right now. [And he can't blame her.]

I just thought you should know...Gwen's back. I know you care for her still. At least talk to her and Arthur, if no one else.

Don't shut yourself away.

[This is one conversation he does not want to be having. Or expected to ever have, really.]

...we should...probably talk about what happened yesterday.

[Backdated to this post.]

Lady Morgana, my name is Martha Jones. I'm a new arrival here from Sigyn's house, and I'm a doctor. I also am one of the Doctor's companions if you know him.

[What's the good in being the Doctor's companion if you can't use it in a new situation? Hopefully, she's not someone whom he's not gotten on with.]

I'd like your permission to take Mordred to the market place to get some wood to help him make his castle.
