[ Gwen is sewing.

There is so much time to fill these days that she takes these projects, uses them to pass her hours and keep her mind occupied with simple things rather than her worries and lord knows she has plenty.

In her lap, a dress is laid, more of a gown of silks in shades of royal blue and lighter blue. It is an impressive piece, one she is working on for many weeks on from the look of her fingers, she had poked herself with the needle more than once.

Still she works, sewing what looks like a golden embodiment on the edges.

Beside her is a cup of tea and actually, it's not the gown she wants to talk about. ]

It's rather brilliant.

[ she takes the cup, sips her tea. ]

Are they really tea-leaves? I have never heard of any leaves that can make something so wonderful. In Camelot we only have water and if you're fortunate you have milk.

[ and ale and mead and wine, but Gwen never tried those. ]

N-not that I mind the milk and the water. Or Camelot, really, I miss it quite often but -

[ she's doing it again isn't she? the babbling. She stops, smiles. ]

It is rather brilliant. Where can one find those...tea leaves? Where do they grow?

I hope so.

[ cheerfully. ]

It's lighter than milk but warm and satisfying. I heard you could drink it with milk.

[ oh Gwen. ]

Some do, yes. Others add lemon to it, or sugar if they find the taste too bitter.

[ Her hair moves to gesture at the feed - meant to be directed towards the dress she's working on. ]

All your work?

Your hair - !!

[ definitely startled, but then she remembers herself, puts a hand over her mouth. ]

I apologize, my Lady I only meant - I have never seen -

[ oh dear. ]

...Mine, yes. All of it.

There is no need to apologize. [ She's used to the variety of responses to her hair, although Gwen's certainly takes the cake. ] I understand there are many here who are from worlds unused to unusual things.

[ And prehensile hair definitely falls into that. ]

For yourself?

[ She's curious - her wardrobe is, well, nonexistent here. And she'd pay good money for something else to wear beyond a bodysuit. ]

Oh no, not at all. I am but a maidservant, my Lady. It is for a friend, a woman I used to serve in our realm who lives in this city.

[ And though Morgana might not name Gwen 'friend', Gwen names her that anyway. ]

A very good friend, I imagine.

Would you be willing to work on commission? It is a beautiful dress, and I would pay whatever it is that you wished.

[ Medusa is desperate for some of the comforts of home. ]

O-oh! Of course, my Lady. I won't require much. It would be a pleasure. I will have to come and take measures and I can search for fabric, if you will tell me what you wish for and what colors.

Take your time, please. It is not as if there is anything I require it for approaching soon.

[ Yet, at any rate. ]

We do not know, my Lady. A need might arise, we best be prepared.

[ oh god something to do, gwen is so happy. ]

[ A nod. ]

Very well. [ Oh right introductions. ] I am Queen Medusalith Amaquelin-Boltagon. And you are?

[ Queen? Oh no. Gwen hurries to get up, curtsy. ]

I'm so sorry, Your Majesty. I did not know - I mean I have not guessed that -

[ oh dear. ]

Guinevere, Your Majesty. Gwen, if it pleases you.

Gwen, then.

[ But a nod of her head to indicated that she's not put off by Gwen at all - the politeness actually goes a long way to further cement her in her good graces. ]

I would not hold it against you, for you did not know. That is if you had done anything that would warrant it.

[ And since she hasn't it's not an issue. ]

Thank you, Your Majesty. If there is anything else I could do for you, please do not hesitate to ask.

What else are you skilled in, then, if you are offering?

[ Crystal is going to be upset if Medusa abuses Gwen's own good will, but it's not as if she doesn't plan on reimbursing the young woman. ]

I am was a handmaiden, Your Highness. Anything you might need that your maid has done for you, you can say, I will be glad to help.

Then I will certainly keep you in mind, Gwen, should the need arise.

[ Definitely not thinking about how mad her sister might be about this nope. ]

[ she inclines her head. ]

Your Majesty.

[ Another incline of her head in return before she disconnects.

It's so good to hear that from someone again. ]
