[burping]

[ as the video flickers on, you can see a lovely, pale woman, poking at the screen as if she's trying to get the thing to work and her eyes widen when she realizes that the device is, in fact, working. despite the flush to her cheeks, her expression turns more diplomatic a moment later.]

Faeries and imps, what a wonder. I never thought them to be real, only the thing of storybooks and to keep children from wandering the forest. [ her smile turns wry for a moment as she glances off camera towards the fairy in her room.

there's a pause in her speech as she murmurs a soft word of thanks to said fairy who brought her to her rooms] I suppose I ought to accept that I am no where near Nemeth or Camelot. However if there are any from my home, if you could step forward and make yourself known... I am Princess Mithian of Nemeth and I wish to find a way to send a message to my kingdom, if it is at all possible. [ you can catch so much more with honey.] I fear there will be a rather desperate search party sent out, if I do not return soon.

Comments

[hiddeninfidelity]

[The mention of Camelot was enough to draw Mordred's attention and cause her to speak up. As she did, though her voice is muffled every so slightly by the hard exterior of her helmet, her tone is still as courtly and regal as ever.]

It has been sometime since I've heard anyone speak of Camelot. If my lady could spare the words, would you be so kind as to tell me the state of the kingdom?

[burping]

Oh? Do you know it? [ her expression is hopeful for a moment before she offers a gentle smile.] The state of it? It flourishes under it's new king, Arthur. [ it's the truth and despite Arthur breaking their engagement, she cannot hold ill will towards camelot or him.]

[hiddeninfidelity]

[Mordred jumped at the mention of Arthur as a new king. What was going on here? Unless something was horribly amiss, that man should have been dead and buried in their home world. Needless to say, such a statement rattled the young knight quite a bit, a fact evident from a brief chatter of her teeth that may be barely audible through the feed.]

I actually called Camelot home quite sometime ago, sadly I doubt I will ever see it again in my lifetime.

[Seeing as she was the one who dragged it into a spiral of death and madness after all.]

[burping]

[ mithian's brow furrows at the reaction.]

My intention was not to upset you.

[ Lancelot is so startled by the mention of Nemeth and Camelot that he actually forgets to be a wreck for five minutes. Good distraction, Mithian! ]

My lady -- what court has called to you? I am a knight of Camelot, if you have need of my aid here my sword will be yours -- but I fear you will not be returned home as soon as you wish.

[burping]

[ one charming distraction comin' right up.] I was afraid of that.

[ however she looks relieved just by the sheer mention of a knight of camelot.] I am a guest of the Seelie court. [ although the wry way she says it is proof that she hardly considers this a visit so much as a strange imprisonment.]

May I ask the name of my would be savior? [ it's said with only a little humor but mostly genuine gratitude.]

[knightscode]

Forgive me -- I am Lancelot, and counted among the Seelie court as well. Where do you find yourself? I am happy to come to your side, if it pleases you.

[burping]

Sir Lancelot. Your name is familiar to me, I think. [ although it was only mentioned in passing. lucky for him, stupid evil canon there was no elaboration to it. undoubtedly his reputation in camelot at the time of her visit was not entirely the best.]

I am in a garden near my chambers. [ she twists her locket to show him. it had taken some time to learn the mechanics of the thing.] But please, don't trouble yourself if you have other obligations, I'm perfectly alright. [ although the company of someone, a knight especially, would be comforting.]

[mildly]

Sadly, there seems to be no way to send word back, Princess Mithian. But allow me to be among the first to welcome you to this world, where I hope that you find yourself among friends.

Video

[burping]

I afraid that was what I would be told. [ she offers a gentle smile in attempt to hide her disappointment.] But I thank you for the kind welcome...? May I ask your name?

Video

[mildly]

Margaery Tyrell, of House Tyrell. I was brought him some months ago, on the eve of my wedding.

[burping]

On the eve of your wedding? [ how horrible.] Were you, at least, brought here with your betrothed?

[Yet another that has mentioned her castle and not been one she recognized. Being King Arthur was exhausting.]

Dear lady... Forgive me for being so bold, but what is your relation to fair Camelot?

Private - Video

[burping]

It is not bold. The kingdom of Nemeth and Camelot are allies. [ she can say that now, she hopes, now that arthur offered the disputed lands as a means of apology for their broken engagement.]

Private - Video

[scorchedchivalry]

[Is that so? Saber knew with Second Magic involved that many things were different in the Camelot Lancelot of the Seelie knew. The most important one being that King Arthur was legitimately male in his land, not female as Saber was having only portrayed herself as a man and lived as one. This alliance was not one Saber recalled, but that could have been because it was a very long time ago to her...]

Then you are an ally of mine, dear lady. I am called Saber. [She gave as much of a bow as she could over the locket.] I regret that I must inform you that I am of the Unseelie Court, but my word is true.

Will you indulge me with your thoughts on Camelot's king?

Private - Video

[burping]

[ she feels the need to keep her words measured. it is unsurprising that so many have heard of camelot, the kingdom is one of the fairest and most infamous of them all. yet this is the second person asking for her thoughts on it, now on it's king.

her lips press together in a quiet smile, the mention of the unseelie court is troubling, from what little she understands of the courts. she cannot assume that this woman is a knight but perhaps a subject. or by her court alliance, a traitor.]

King Arthur is wise and fair, he loves his people. And he is beloved by them. [ she pauses.] He follows his heart. Do you not know your own king?

[notyetlegend]

My mother told me of such creatures as a wee lass. I had a little trouble believin' it myself when I first arrived.

[Lies. Merida took to it like a duck to water. Still, she attempts a kind smile for someone who is, obviously, still getting her bearings. There are reins in her hand and the whicker of a horse comes over the locket.]

I know of Camelot, though I don't hail from it myself.

video;

[burping]

Forgive me for straying from the subject at hand but... are you on horseback?

video;

[notyetlegend]

[She waves a hand, indicating it's nothing to apologize about.]

Aye. I'm journeyin' right now. Horseback is th' main mode of transport here.

[souveraine]

[Camelot, it's a name that she's heard in an ancient tale though given that she's Spanish, it was only in passing. The ancient history of England is not exactly widely taught in Spain.]

Fairies are only seen in tales where I am from as well, it is as if we are living in a dream here.

[Anne gives her a kind smile, she felt a similar urge to send a message back but any attempts to figure out how to do so had been in vain.]

If there is a way to send a message out, I have not yet found it either and it seems to be an impossible task, unfortunately, your Highness.

[burping]

It's true, I do feel as though I may awaken in my own bed at any moment. [ she offers a warm smile, although it fades a little.]

I am sorry to hear it.

video

[souveraine]

I still experience the same feeling, as if when I wake I will be once more in France.

It is difficult but there are many who are very kind here. I have recently arrived myself but I hope to make this place a home in the time I have here.

I've found that even the fiction of storybooks and cradle tales can come from some fact, your grace. Though it might have been long forgotten. [AKA Jon's life has gotten really weird lately.]

[burping]

I suppose that is true, isn't it? In fact, I thought magic to be long sens eradicated from lands but found that it hadn't. [ she almost sounds relieved, although there's an underlying fear there.]

[baseborne]

[Jon nods, but not without a split second of hesitation first.] It's the same in my own land. [Though it is definitely nothing to be relieved about.] Magic does not die, I think. It only sleeps.
