[ gwen is but a simple maidservant and not one for fancy speeches. she had also spent a few good hours coughing and shedding a fair amount of tears.

still, she writes with stable hands and certainty. ]

I hope this finds you well and that this sickness shall soon pass. if there is anything I can do to help, please tell me. I would like to help.

I

I regret to tell you both Merlin and Prince Arthur Pendragon of Camelot have left. Were it in their power, I am certain they would wish everyone in this city luck with this endeavor and ask you to keep yourself as safe as you can.

Your judgment seems pretty sound! You're not alone, either way. Even if Arthur's gone, however long he is or isn't around. He's back home, though, right? That can be good! And you've got people willing to be good friends to you while you're here.

[graciousness]

He is, I think. And it is good, Camelot needs Arthur too and I am certain he can make good in this kingdom.

thank you collette. I hope you know that if you need something, I shall assist you as long as I'm here.

[whatsupcroc]

No probem, Gwen! The same right back at you. I'm just a shout away! Or a message, or a call, you know.

[graciousness]

then I'll call you. I do not think it'll be very pleasant if I yell at you.

are you doing well?

[whatsupcroc]

I'm doing pretty okay. As good as you can be lately! I hope you are too, past this stuff. It's hard losing important people back to where they belong.

There is still Morgana for me to care after. we are both of us the last ones from Camelot here but she is a dear friend to me. So I suppose I can say I am well.

[whatsupcroc]

I'm glad you can say that, it's good to focus on what you have, and not just what you don't have. Tell me about your friend Morgana! I don't think I've ever met her.

[ it's always tricky when it comes to morgana. She could tell her of the woman she remembers from home or about the woman she heard about from Arthur and both would sound entirely different. She decides the woman she knows here is both and neither and decides to speak of her. ]

there are very few people more precious to me than morgana. We know each other for many years,I have been her maidservant. She's

She is a woman of nobility, very beautiful and wise. She is terribly stubborn and headstrong and she may appear to be distant and cold at times but our world has not been kind to her and she was not kind in return.

But in her heart she is morgana. She is brave and strong and precious to me.

[whatsupcroc]

She sounds like a good and hard person to have as a friend. I'm glad you're both here for each other.

Though, what exactly does a maidservant do?

[graciousness]

Whatever it is her lady wishes her. At Camelot, I'd clean and I'd bring her breakfast and I would do her hair and lace her gowns and whatever else she required of me.
