MORDRED : 

( There's this dream I get from time to time.

In it, I’m in an old manor in Orkney, one I’ve hardly ever known.

In the dream, I run through it.

I feel lost,

and every room is empty.

I scream and shout for help,

unsure what to do,

afraid,

when suddenly…

…I hear a voice.

It guides me

towards a secret, well-hidden place.

A hand beckons me inside.

I take it, and… 

…

Mother says every dream has its own meaning.

I don’t dare ask her about this one.

It feels too intimate, too personal.

And that hand reaching out to me…

…feels so comforting. )

[ mordred gets out of bed yay! ]

MORDRED : 

( Since Arthur left on a quest a few weeks ago,

Camelot has felt rather quiet. 

I don’t doubt that my uncle’s feats are awesome to behold.

I wish I could’ve gone with him.

Even if…

…I have to become stronger

to win his trust, his regard,

and prove myself worthy of fighting by his side. 

Even if…

…it’s terribly hard. )

BRUNOR : 

You really do have the basics down pat. I mean it. 

But you’re going to have to build up some strength if you want to hold your own against an enemy assault.

If heavy blows like that  knock you down, you’re as good as dead.

MORDRED : 

( Sir Brunor agreed to help me during his daily training.

To grant me a bit of his time, so to speak. 

His fighting style is quite unconventional, which does bother me a little, but he gives good advice.

So every morning, I meet him here to…

“build up some strength”. 

…This man is distracting. )

AGLOVALE : 

Pray, Sir Brunor,

do cover up some. 

You wouldn’t want to be accused of indecency, would you? 

BRUNOR : 

Sir Aglovale, always in such high spirits first thing in the morning.

AGLOVALE : 

I’m only instructing you in matters of proper decorum.

It doesn't appear to be your area of expertise. 

BRUNOR : 

Clearly it’s not.

What about it? 

MORDRED :

 ( ...It’s true that Sir Brunor can be a bit of a boor from time to time.

His upbringing is lacking in some regards.

He tends to go fetch what he needs himself…

( Brunor : I’m going to get myself a cup, anyone want anything? )

…even if it’s servant's work.

It seems to bother Sir Aglovale quite a bit. 

Since he recovered, he hasn’t stopped picking fights with Brunor about his behavior. 

I can understand that, but

his self-important airs are really getting on my nerves.

But sometimes… 

I catch a glimpse of a gentler expression on his face, which reminds me of…

…I miss him.

To be honest, I don’t even know why.

I wonder, does he think of me as well? )

PERCIVAL : 

I wonder what Mordred’s doing…

I hope he’s alright.

…

( We left Mount Tombe at dawn.

Going back to Hoel’s home was…

…devastating.

A grieving father, who could not even bury his daughter…

Then Dame Viviane insisted we spend the night in her own home, in Broceliande. )

VIVIANE : 

I’ll bring you to Camelot through faster ways than the usual ones.

But first, you must rest.

PERCIVAL : 

( She took us underwater,

into her castle.

That place was baffling to me. )

[Percival : We’re underwater! Underwater!]

( I toured the whole place, fascinated, while Dame Viviane cared for the others. 

…Maybe I ran away so I wouldn't have to think about all of this anymore, actually. )

I wish I could’ve done better… )

?? : 

Lancelot, please.

All I want is an explanation.

ARTHUR : 

You must have one for your lengthy absence…? 

You owe me that much. 

MORGAN : 

Thank you, love. 

The weather has gotten colder as Samhain approaches, dear Guinevere. 

GUINEVERE : 

It's true, the Great Hall can get a bit drafty.

I am all the more grateful for your help with audiences, then.

MORGAN : 

I admire your ability to carry them out with such undivided attention.

I lack my seneschal’s patience, I’m afraid.

As it were, I left him to handle my duties during my stay here, terrible regent that I am.

[ caption : kings who left their seneschal to handle their duties during their stay in camelot 🤡 ]

GUINEVERE : 

I always take over audiences in Arthur’s absence.

Kay lacks the patience required for them, you understand.

MORGAN : 

Color me shocked. 

GUINEVERE : 

Very well, let’s begin!

[ a mysterious figure enters ]

GUINEVERE : 

What an entrance!

Please introduce yourself, dear subject,

and tell us what you came here for.

?? : 

My queen, I fear

that you may be in grave danger.

ROUND TABLE TRIVIA

Dreams are considered to be omens, each on their own scale.

ARTHUR, 11yo : 

I dreamed a huge snake showed up and ate my shoes!

MERLIN : 

It’s an omen of great change, it’s pretty normal at your age. ( You’ll probably need to change shoes soon. )

Druids are well-versed in their interpretation, and while not every dream is an omen, they all have their own meaning.

MERLIN : 

Dreams are also a way to heal, so sleep well, kids.
