[Merlin clears his throat, steading the journal in front of him.]

I would like to say that the Lady Morgana has just arrived in Luceti. [He pauses, trying to begin again with less strain within his voice.] I would hope that people could try and help her adjust to captiv--life, here.

What do you need help with?

[awaitingalbion]

I'm afraid I don't know much about this electricity stuff.

[no_use_running]

I'll greet her warmly!

[awaitingalbion]

Oh, like how you greeted Arthur?

[Upset? yes.]

[no_use_running]

If I need to.

[awaitingalbion]

Perhaps you should start thinking about other needs than your own.

[hippocraticly]

I can give you a hand, kid.

[awaitingalbion]

You know how to use a refrigerator?

[hippocraticly]

Oh, don't believe me? I can show you my credentials, if you want.

[awaitingalbion]

[He's not even fibbing, McCoy. He is genuinely amazed by these devices.]

[silviteadvocate]

I'll try and help her, Merlin.

[awaitingalbion]

[silviteadvocate]

It must be disconcerting for her...

As disconcerting as it is for any of us. [He sighs.] But if anyone can handle this? It's Morgana. She may live in a castle, but she can handle the hard life.

[logicphile]

How curious, that you should appeal to the mass to assist her. But it is perhaps more harmful to mislead her, than to allow the Lady Morgana to face the bare facts.

[awaitingalbion]

Why not? Many people here have proved to be very helpful. Isn't that one of the bare facts, as well?

[logicphile]

While that is true, there are others who would not hesitate to harm her. Surely you have observed that.

[awaitingalbion]

I have. And it's exactly what I want to protect her from. She's not just anyone, you know.
