.026 - it's still snowing guys

The decorations are gone [Thank God]. How long does it take for the snow to disappear?

[Private to Gwaine]

My Inmate would like me to inform you that she is not a stupid baby.

[Private to Cass]

We talked. [That's generous but they are pretty much okay again :c]

[She hesitates a few minutes, unsure what's fair to tell and what definitely isn't.]

He's not... the same. At all. Not inside. Something bad happened, Arthur.

[Something broke him and she isn't entirely sure it can be fixed.]

Camelot is at war. [He noticed something was off too but he put it down to being in a strange place, people claiming to know him, and the coming war with Morgana. That all makes sense.]

[That explains a little, but not enough.]

Did he say... anything else? At all?

He asked me not to sack him.

... Sack?

[Why are you putting him in a bag Arthur that makes no sense.]

Uh... relieve him of his duties? Said he was my servant, before anything else.

Oh. [Okay now she's frowning at you a little.] After... everything, before? Wanting to be equal?

Isn't that... weird, to you?

It is an honor to serve the king. [That's a joke. But it was weird, though again, Arthur explained it away in his head. Merlin was always sort of weird and he had to know that Arthur would give him anything he asked for, so if that's what he wanted, that's what he was going to get.]

Four years is a long time, Cass.

[Four years. She hadn't heard that bit yet, it kind of takes all the strength straight out of her. Merlin hadn't wanted to go back to Camelot at all, so being stuck there for four years is just... unthinkable. No wonder he was so drastically different inside.]

I... [She doesn't know what she's trying to say now, what should go here. Four years hiding his magic, four years without the support he had here on the barge. A small, selfish part of her realizes four years without her changes everything, but she pushes it down as fast as it comes.]

We just... have to be here, for him. I'm glad... he has you. Familiar face. He won't... be so alone.

He has Guinevere and Gwaine as well.

Don't worry so much.

[She nods, and she's never been more happy that so many people from Camelot are here to support each other than she is right now.]

Can't help it. I like him. Worry about... the people I like.
