❖ ００１ ; ＶＯＩＣＥ ⇨ ＶＩＤＥＯ （ ＳＥＥＬＩＥ ＋ ＵＮＳＥＥＬＩＥ ）

[graciousness]

[ the voice that can be heard is full of nervousness and skepticism ]

Alright, then. I know this is working, it worked for everyone else, no reason it wouldn't for me - aside for the matter that I do not know what I seem to be doing at all -

[ but then, video! at first you might see only freckles and then she'll step back and you'll see a young woman with dark curls, a purple, flowery dress and one bottom lip that seems to be busied between her teeth. ]

-- Greetings to both courts, I have heard there are two. I hope there are not more and if there are -

[ she might be offending someone. oh no. she'll take a quick yet graceful curtsy ]

to those who can hear - see! me. My name is Gunievere - Gwen, really. of Camelot! I - the fairies -

[ the fairies. this is so unsettling ]

I was told I was brought here to help. I will do all that I can but I - I am but a maidservant. I do not know what I can do, truly but whatever you might need of me, I am in your service.

-- They will send us home when our duties are through, will they not? I have other.

[ erm ]

duties! at home. I am already in the service of a Lady and she might be unsettled with me being gone.

[ and morgana being unsettled is bad news to all ]

--- It's nice to meet you all, I'm certain. Whatever I can do, truly.

And I'd likely do the same for any of my friends from home. I'm not saying you shouldn't go. I'm just saying you should be prepared. I hear it's a good couple of months? I think. Though I could be wrong given I just recently got here myself. I hope you find someone else to go with, at the least if she's so worried and saying it's dangerous. Is there anyone in the Seelie that you know and trust for that?

[Snow might otherwise offer herself if necessary, but they have only just 'met' so she's sure Gwen might have others she would prefer and trust more if there were others from home for her here, of course.]

Like portals to help quicken the journey. Yes.

There is.

[ carefully. she looks down at her hands. ]

But I will never ask that of him. If it is dangerous, then it is my choice but I will never ask anyone to choose it for me. He is a very good man, noble and true. Perhaps you will meet him, his name is Lancelot.

If he's anything like my friends, you won't need to ask him. He'd probably offer to join you anyway. I won't force you, if that is your choice but at least let him know your intentions. I'd offer myself but I'm aware we just met and you probably trust Lancelot over some stranger like me. I'm sure your Lady Morgana would only worry all the more if you were alone.

You are very sweet, to be thinking of me. You are no longer a stranger, Snow, you and I are friends. We are at the same court now and - I think we must all try to make more friends around here, if we are to truly help one another.

[There's a nod and a smile at that.]

Of course. You read my mind. We won't get anywhere here, fighting or figuring a way back or to our friends if we don't work together. It's just not everyone considers a friend so easily. Not that I'm complaining.

[graciousness]

I guess I do quickly jump to conclusions. I'm - really glad you don't mind. You're simply...you're very kind to me and kindness is usually found among friends so I felt it's safe to assume that we can be friends.

[ Gwen, she doesn't mind. ]

...I'm simply glad you want to be friends. with me.

[ haha. ]

[cinnamoned]

And I'm glad too. I think in this sort of situation, the more friends we have, the better. So I'd not say no if you're offering such assistance.

[Especially after her time on the run back home, she's well aware of the value of friends in trying times.]

You will let me know? If you take Lancelot or find someone else?

[graciousness]

I promise.

[ she sinks to a curtsy. ]

I will tell you long before we leave, if we do so.

[cinnamoned]

Of course. I just want to be sure you manage all right on this journey. I would likely do the same if I knew one of my friends or family were there, figure some way to contact them and try meet in person if at all possible. I'm not sure how safe that will be given the war but....I wish you luck, Guinevere. Truly.

[She can't help the smile, the slight bow of her head as her hair tumbles forward at her shoulders now it's longer.]
