The Queen has returned to Camelot.

[That's it. That's all he has to say.]

[Private to Merlin]

I met Freya.

[onceandfutureprat]

Why didn't you mention her before?

Private

[takeyouapart]

I knew her a handful of days and they ended when I watched her die.

Private

[onceandfutureprat]

I'm... sorry for how it ended.

Private

[takeyouapart]

I don't blame you for it either, Arthur. She was right. All you knew was that you were slaying the monster that was terrorising the town.

Private

[onceandfutureprat]

And I hurt you by doing so.

Private

[takeyouapart]

What else could you have done?

I forgave you a long time ago.

Private - i assume arthur knows merlin is back in the infirmary

[onceandfutureprat]

[Who knows, Merlin, who even knows.]

Hm.

How's Morgana doing?

Private - he does!

[takeyouapart]

She's well enough to throw things at me when I try to check on her.

[Yeah she's great. 8|]

...I have no reason to think she isn't healing as she should be. She has no quarrel with Dr. Banner, and Charles comes to sit with her every day. I would know by now if there were anything more amiss.

Private - yesss

[onceandfutureprat]

How long was she imprisoned, Merlin?

Private

[takeyouapart]

Two years.

Private

[onceandfutureprat]

[What akjsdfna]

By the Sarrum.

Did you lie to her, when you said we didn't know?

Private

[takeyouapart]

No.

Rumours began to spread, after she had escaped. I assumed the Sarrum sent bounty hunters to retrieve her.

Private

[onceandfutureprat]

What exactly did we think happened to her for two years?

Private

[takeyouapart]

We thought her to have been killed during her retreat from Camelot.

[Although Merlin was always kind of shaky on that since he brought a ceiling down on her and then lol no body. :/]

Private

[onceandfutureprat]

And I suppose it will be peaceful during that time. [Are you listening, Merlin, there's some unhappiness with that idea in there.]

Private

[takeyouapart]

[He wasn't exactly delighted at the time.]

Yes.

Private

[onceandfutureprat]

[afdajsa Morgana, you make everything awful.]

She will recover from her ordeal then.

Private

[takeyouapart]

Her body will. But her mind and spirit grow more damaged than ever.

Private

[onceandfutureprat]

I know the admiral believes she can graduate, but I'm not hopeful for it.

Private

[takeyouapart]

That's why she isn't our responsibility. Though I hope she finds a Warden who can share that belief.
