.010 - video

[onceandfutureprat]

It would seem that my Inmate, Nathan Petrelli is no longer registering on my... Item. [Is that what it's called? Oh who cares.] I can only conclude it is because he is no longer on board. I thought there'd be some of you that would like to know that.

[Long, long, long hideous pause in which Arthur seems like he's going to cut off the video but he doesn't.]

Last week, I challenged the Lady Morgana, an Inmate here. It wasn't exactly a fair fight. [He means the fact that he had a real sword and she had a wooden one, even though he offered to trade and she didn't take him up on it and also she sucks with a sword compared to him anyway. And also she's a woman.] I injured her leg.

I accept any punishment is customary for this place.

[Another hideously long silence]

Before this place, back in Camelot... did I do something to harm you? Did Guinevere? [He knows better than to ask about Uther or Merlin now. But you framed his lady love and tried to kill him a lot too.]

[Private to Mozenrath]

She used magic to cheat. Which you may consider to fall under self defense, but I thought you should know anyway.

Last I checked, you weren't responsible for her actions, just yours.

If you want to admit that you did wrong and say that you will accept consequences, then there's your consequence: That you have to apologize to someone for wronging them, rather than hold your apology hostage like it's worth so much that your royal ego has to be appeased before you can afford to be a decent person.

[Sorry Moz, you just get one of Arthur's patented head nods before he shuts off the feed. It means he'll do it but doesn't like it and it probably won't be a very sincere apology.]
