.031 - backdated to a few days ago

The Queen has returned to Camelot.

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

[Private to Merlin]

I met Freya.

[She's a little surprised at first that he doesn't look more upset, but it all makes sense once she gets a good look at him. Gwen had always been so kind and so nice to her, so maybe it is better she's not in this kind of environment any longer.]

Hi Arthur.

[She'd taken the time to put the cookies into a bag, and now the bag is pushed into his hand before she steps in and hugs him. He's not as upset as she expected, but he's still hurting. Hopefully, a hug or two will help and the cookies will solve the rest.]

[We really need to talk about hugs here.

Arthur tolerates that for about five seconds before he pulls away. It's so he can inspect the bag she put in his hand, obviously.]

What's this?

[Honestly, it's about four seconds longer than she expected him to let her hug him.]

Cookies. Had extra. Brought them, for you.

[And since he's just kind of holding the bag like it's some kind of strange and unusual device meant to confound the masses, she reaches out and opens it up for him so he can see the perfectly harmless cookies inside.]

[It's mostly just strange that she gave it to him at all.]

Did you make these?

Yes.

[Oh wait hang on.]

Uh, had help. Someone else... read recipe. Measured stuff. They're not bad.

[She can see how getting cookies from someone who can't read might raise a few red flags.]

[He actually hadn't thought of that, because Arthur... doesn't know how to cook at all. So he can't very well tell someone else how to do it.]

Um. Thank you.

[Except he totally could do exactly that if it were Merlin don't lie.]

You okay?

[Merlin is an exceptional to almost every rule.

Arthur knows what she means, and he doesn't answer right away.]

She's safer in Camelot.

Maybe. Doesn't mean... you won't miss her.

[But he has friends here who will keep him busy and keep him from dwelling too much. And hey, whacking things with swords always makes Cass feel better, so...]

Still doing morning training?

[He will miss her, he can't deny that. But he doesn't really want to talk about it.]

Of course I am.

Want to learn... new sword fighting style?

Such as?

Know lots of them. Could show you... every form, then you pick. Choose favorite, then I'll teach you.
