 Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Jousting horses. Arthur had to stifle a chuckle, finding her excuse rather endearing and well, he was not about to turn time any opportunity to spend time alone with his wife. Turning, he took a few steps forward so that his father would hear him.
"Sire, the princess wishes to see all that jousting entails. Including the jousting horses." This time, it was harder to hold back the laughter but by some miracle, he had managed. The words were almost a tease, having used the exact same term she had. "If we may be dismissed so that I can honour her request." Uther gave a nod, dismissing his son at which point, Arthur turned back to Guinevère, taking her hand in his. "Come. Let us see the jousting horses," he smiled, though wasn't exactly leading her to the stables.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur felt his heart ache and ache the more she spoke. Not being able to tell anyone. Amaren thinking that Helios was his father. Helios not letting Guinevère go. It was all too much. Morgana had taken everything from him, when they had given everything to her. And now Helios had . . . no. It was all too much to bare. "He is my son." His. Not Helios. Amaren was the product of Guinevère and Arthur's love. And Arthur wanted to -- needed to -- see him. He could feel Percival's hand on his arm and he jerked it away before moving a few steps back. "Leon did not die for this!" More anger, at the loss of a friend. A man who sacrificed himself, because Morgana had destroyed everything. Had destroyed everyone that Arthur held dear.
"I will kill him where he stands and put an end to this." His words calmer, yet unnervingly angry at what Helios had done to Guinevère and Amaren. Looking at Guinevère, thinking of her words . . . of Helios believing the son was his . . . Arthur could not get the thoughts out of his mind. "I will kill him." Words too calm, holding an underlying tone of anger and determination. "We need to go." Because time was limited and Arthur's anger was about to push him to do something irrational. The last time he had felt such, was when Morgause created an illusion of his mother and he confronted the king about it. "I need to see him," Arthur pleaded again. More desperate. The threat of tears upon his eyes yet they did not spill. He felt Percival take his arm again, this time, urging him back. He needed to see his son. He needed . . . he just needed his family.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur made a face, one of mock offence when she teased him about who she should give the favour to. Earlier thoughts of how easy it was to fall into this playful mood with her, resurfacing. Strengthening. How well they got along was not something he had thought possible after marrying a woman he barley knew. Yet, he was so incredibly glad to be proved wrong. "I suggest you give it to last year's champion," he said with a playful boast in his voice, since . . . that was him.
"Which so happens to be your husband," he added on, knowing she was obviously not here for the last tournament. "It would give him great strength during the tournament, to know that he has the favour of the princess," Arthur added, in attempt to flatter her. It was not so difficult to do so; she was after all, beautiful inside and out. He stepped closer to her, lowering his voice so that only she could hear. "Of course, there are also other ways in which she can give him strength before the day." Clear flirtation in his voice as he leaned forward to lightly touch her lips again. He couldn't quite get enough. Of each kiss. Of each touch. The more his feelings for her developed, strengthened and grew, the more difficult it became to keep himself from her.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur had assumed as much. He knew his wife, and knew she would not keep this from him had she known at a time where she could tell him. They had tried for over 3 years to have a child and . . . to think, it had come into this world when he was not here and she forced to be with another. "I know," he told her in reassurance. He knew that much but also knew that there was more to her words. When she spoke of how Helios thought the child to be his, Arthur knew the implications of these words. He closed his eyes and turned his head to the side. Not out of shame, but out of anger. Perhaps, the most being at himself for failing her.
For not being here to stop this. For cursing a sister who dared let this happen to Guinevère. And now, to hear that Helios would not let go of his son. That he loved him. "He is my son," Arthur stated, looking at Guinevère once more. Though, he knew that he had done nothing to earn the title. Perhaps he didn't even deserve a son after what he had let happen to Guinevère and Amaren.
"He has no right." Arthur could feel the anger surfacing once more. The thought of Helios believing it was his . . . the thought of Helios touching Guinevère . . . it was as if Percival could sense it for her heard the man say his name. "Arthur." He could even feel Percival take a small step towards them. Arthur looked intently at Guinevère, his wife. HIS wife. "Helios will pay for this," Arthur told her in promise. "I will, make him pay for this." For forcing her. For touching her. For . . . claiming their son.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur smiled at the tease, enjoying how easy it was to create such a mood between them. Something he had rather enjoyed even in the early days of their marriage. "Why, it is stealth that can separate a champion from the defeated," he began to explain. "To be clever in manoeuvring the lance to the most advantageous position. To simply charge at your opponent with the hopes of hitting them is no strategy. To be clever in your positioning . . . now that is what can lead to victory." To be sneaky. To act as if one might aim somewhere and instead, adjust the lance a second before impact. To be strategic in how you moved, how you held the lance, how you aimed the point.
There was a great deal that went into jousting and he hoped to prove that to her tomorrow. By winning. He would have cast a look at those who cheered but instead, kept his attentions on his wife and chose to ignore it. He chuckled at her response, speaking of how living would be good enough; that even if he lost, she would still stand by him. The words meant a great deal to him and only motivated him further. Though, he knew that losing was not an option. "I would have you stand by a champion. A man worthy of your company." She deserved it and he wanted to prove that worth to her. Though, hearing that she did not mind either way . . . he already felt valued by her. "Only tomorrow will tell if your husband stands as such a man," he said playfully, moving his arms from being wrapped around her. More out of necessity than desire for he knew that the onlookers would have more comments to make . . . or sounds.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur watched as she stared at him. He wanted to go up to her but knew, that she needed a moment. To him, no time had passed. But to them . . . it had been four years. When she approached him, his arms were ready, welcoming her, holding her close to him as he closed his eyes. Amidst all his anger, she always had the power to calm him. To give him strength and comfort whether he needed it in that exact moment or not. He felt her tears and wanted to wipe them away. He wanted to make everything better . . . somehow. And he would. He would kill Helios and he would save her from this life. He drew his head back, his lips touching hers, uncaring if the others were watching. It was after all, the best way he could prove it was him.
He kissed her, in a slow, but emotion driven embrace, as if he needed her touch to remind him that there was still good in this hell he had resurrected into. Easing out it he pressed his forehead against hers. "I'm sorry," he breathed. "I"m so sorry." For leaving her. For letting this happen. It had after all, been Morgana's anger at him and his father that fuelled her actions. Yet, Guinevère had paid the prince. "I need to see him." The words practically a desperate plea, somewhere in the back of his mind acknowledging that he knew this may not be possible. Arthur's heart ached at the thought of all he had missed. They had a son and he had not been there as it grew in her womb. He had not held him as he was born into this world. Instead, another man claimed him . . . and claimed his wife. "Please," he added, jaw clenching with emotion as his words were urging. He needed to see Amaren.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT If the man questioning them didn't step aside, Arthur knew he was going to run him through. He was not in control of his emotions. He was not in control of himself. The knowledge of all that had happened was too much to bare and . . . he was going to make those responsible for all the wrong doings, pay. But eventually, the man stepped aside and they were in Guinevère's room. Arthur froze, just staring at her. Watching her. He could feel Gwaine's hand reach out to stop him from taking those steps forward when even he could hear the laughter of a child in the distance. Amaren. Arthur's son. Not Helios'.
It was her words that made that anger surge through Arthur, running through his veins. Under the cloth he clenched his jaw, his hand not having released its grip on the hilt of his sword from where he thought he'd kill the man that stood between him and his wife. Yet now, hearing her fear Helios taking their son . . . no. It was too much. But still, Gwaine silently told him to wait through his actions rather than words. Guinevère then turned around, locking eyes with him and . . . he could see her expression.
"Guinevère," Arthur began to say as he pulled the cloth down that concealed the lower portion of his face. He took a step forward, and then two, determination in his gaze mixed with a softness that he always held whenever he saw his wife. HIS wife. "I will not let that happen." He would never let Helios take Amaren away from Guinevère and he wanted to make sure she knew it. Somewhere in the background, he belatedly heard one of them say "Leon's plan" but Arthur was too fixed on Guinevère and thoughts of Amaren to give any explanation as to how he was here. For, he knew why he was here and that was all that mattered right now.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Sister! Brother! Ah yes! It made sense now and Arthur knew he shouldn't but he felt a small wave of relief. Elyan asked him how he knew Guinevère and . . . well, it was quite the story. One he wasn't entirely certain how to explain. But, thank goodness for Guinevère as she came to move beside him, and take his hand. As if that was enough but . . . he knew it only raised more questions in Elyan about how he knew his sister. "We first met when Guinevère risk everything to save my life." He wanted him to know that she had incredibly brave things. And, it had bonded them. He gave her hand a gentle squeeze while still looking at Elyan to further explain.
"And that was not the only time she had done so." Speaking these words he turned his head to look at Guinevère, a soft smile upon his lips in gratitude for all she had done for him. He then turned back to look at his brother's of heart. "She is, very dear to me." To say the least. His words were spoken with the utmost sincerely. Elyan might as well know because after this was over, they would be together and . . . Arthur was not going to hide that fact. Ever. "Guinevère, this is Percival and Gwaine," he finally introduced, motioning to the two men standing there, as Arthur glanced at Elyan to determine what expression he held on his face. And all this while . . . Arthur did not let go of Guinevère's hand.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur slightly parted his lips, as if trying to force any words out . . . but to no avail. For the first time in a long time, he felt fear. Real, genuine fear. For now he was not only responsible for the woman he loved, but the child that was created due to that love. He wanted to be happy and he knew a part of him felt joy and pride over the thought of being a father. But . . . the other part of him, was that part that felt fear. Scared, that he may not even be able to claim this child as his own. Yet rejecting it, was not an option either. "No," he suddenly said, realizing she had apologized. "You have nothing to apologize for." He had done this. He had allowed this to happen. He . . . had not controlled himself, and now he had endangered Guinevère and their baby. It was indeed unexpected and Arthur hadn't the faintest idea what he was going to do.
"I just . . . " He didn't know what to say, he didn't know how to handle this. He looked at her, trying to conceal the fear but knew there were emotions in his eyes. "Can't bare the thought of any harm coming to you or the baby." Honest words, yet ones that he knew came from his thought process of thinking about his father. And, they would need to make some difficult decisions. Approaching footsteps caused him to turn his head, though they faded away from his tent. It was just a reminder that they could not carry on this conversation here for long. "Where can we meet tonight?" He asked her. He would take the time to think this over, to try and have a plan that protected Guinevère and the baby. Yet right now, he couldn't think of anything. He could only think of her words. Of the fact that she was pregnant and they were going to be parents.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT "Anything," Arthur immediately responded. He would tell her whatever she desired to know, aware that he had to fix this. That he wanted her to know that she did know him. That she knew him best, and if that came with answering any questions about his past . . . he would do so willingly. "I would," he said without an ounce of hesitancy when she asked him if he would share. She moved closer to him, reaching out to touch his chainmail and her words . . . caused him to smile.
A wave of relief washing over him. Not because he did not wish her to ask what she desired. But because . . . tonight would not be a night to engage in conversations about the past that held burden. Tonight, would be what they had talked about before. Just, being with each other. Just enjoying the private moments that would not be as common in the coming days. He leaned forward, to rest his forehead against hers. "There is a latch on the back of my neck to remove the first piece." They needed to get the small bits of armor off first before the chainmail could be removed and . . . he found the thought of her removing it, incredibly tempting. With his words, he kissed her cheek in a slow, lingering embrace.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur smiled proudly when she said it was wonderful and rode off to the side to dismount his horse and instruct the servant to ensure that his lances were checked and in order. That, was when he saw his wife moving quickly towards him. When she slid into his arms, he wrapped his own around her, a slight chuckle escaping him when she spoke of what she had once thought jousting to be.
"Oh, it is far more than that My Lady," he said in a teasing voice. "It is a true test of strength and strategy. Of stealth and agility." Of so many things that he had learned through training and practice. Things that he knew his father expected him to excel in for all the people to see. Now, he had two people that he wished to impress. Yet, his desire to impress Guinevère was more out of what he wanted to do, rather than what he was forced to do. "I hope to make you proud at the tournament," he added on with a continued smile. He leaned forward to give her a light kiss, knowing that his brow was damp with sweat and that he did not wish to pass on the signs of a workout onto her.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur wasn't sure how long he was sitting there for, trying to process everything that Leon had told him in such a long time. Morgana had taken over Camelot. Guinevère was forced to marry Helios. And . . . he had a son. Amaren. It hurt. To learn what Guinevère had to endure. To know that . . . Helios had, touched her. It was with this thought that Arthur finally arose from his position. He had been angry at Morgana before for the attempts she made on Guinevère. But this time . . . this time, he felt such a strong hatred for his half sister. A hatred stronger than he'd ever felt for her before. There had been lines Morgana had crossed but this was not one he would ever forgive her for. He truly, hated her. And he was going to make her pay.
But first, it would be Helios that felt his anger. His rage. Years of being a prince and later a king, had taught Arthur to keep his emotions composed. To control them and not let them control him. But in this moment, he felt as if he may unravel. The loss of a friend, and the thoughts of his wife and son . . . and saving the kingdom. These were all things that he was attempting to process, but remaining here, idle and confused would not serve any purpose. It would not do any good. Besides, the longer he was here, the longer . . . she was with him. So Arthur started his journey, using the horse Leon left for him. Leon. A man who would never be forgotten. He rode on to where Leon told him Helios would be, dismounting the horse far enough so that he would not be detected. Leon had told him that he had sent word to Gwaine and Percival to meet him. So Arthur continued to follow instruction, and sure enough, the men were were Leon said they would be -- not that Arthur ever doubted him. The look on Percival and Gwaine's face was of pure shock, surprised that Leon's words were true. That the true king of Camelot had returned.
They embraced, as Arthur explained what happened to Leon. Both men were of course saddened by the news, but they would mourn for him once time was not in short supply. Arthur needed to see her. They gave Arthur the garb of one of Helios' men -- fortune, that they concealed the lower part of their faces. Getting dressed, he followed Gwaine and Percival casually enough into the estate. Arthur took in the sights of it, but he was only half focusing on all the possible escape routes. The only thing he could think of . . . was Guinevère. And their son. "We are to see Lady Guinevère," Gwaine told Helios' men. He eyed the third man before looking back at Gwaine. Arthur was ready to run him through but somehow, managed to keep himself level headed. "What? We were told to bring recruits. Are you questioning Lord Helio's orders?" Ones that were a constant to find able bodied man to join his ever growing army.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur was about to properly introduce each one when Elyan stepped out, seeming to already know her . . . and it was mutual. Arthur just watched them embrace, curious but not enough to interrupt them. Interesting, that Elyan had never mentioned a Guinevère before. "They seem rather friendly," Arthur pointed out, only loud enough for Gwaine and Percival to hear. Gwaine watched with a bit of a smirk, clearly about to make a joke about the situation. The apparent triangle that currently was taking place. But Arthur was not one to immediate leap to conclusions.
There could be a great deal of answers to explain the heartfelt reunion. Ones that would wait, as he just gave them a moment. Keeping himself back, standing with Gwaine and Percival who also held the same curiosity to find out who this mystery woman was to Elyan. And as Arthur already knew Guinevère, he was curious to know who they were to each other. Eventually, when they eased out of one another's arms, Arthur began to slowly approach. "How do you two know each other?" He asked with genuine curiosity. "And how could you think not to introduce us to her sooner?" Gwaine said teasingly towards Elyan, clear flirtation in his voice at which, Arthur could only suppress an eye roll.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT She was sorry? Arthur wanted to ask her what for but even he could see that she was not done explaining. Not with the way that she gripped his hands, and the way her eyes looked upon his face. Then . . . she said it. "Arthur, I'm with child." Arthur froze, trying to process the words that seemed unreal. His eyes began to widen a little as they registered in his mind. She was with child. His child. Their child. Arthur had known this was a risk, which was why he also knew he could never physically be with her until they could actually be together without fear of the king's wrath. But that one night, they had lost themselves to their emotions and . . . had been together. Another time after that, but even Arthur that with the timeline, it had to have happened the first time. Not that he was even thinking of logistics. His mouth felt dry, yet he spoke the next words.
"Are you certain?" It was a stupid question that he regretted even as they fell from his lips. Of course she was certain. Otherwise she wouldn't have told him. He knew that this news should be happy. That they should be celebrating. That he should swing her in his arms and they should start making plans. But . . . they couldn't. Not with his father still ruling over them; a king who would never approve of his son loving a servant and . . . he could only feel fear for Guinevère and their unborn child. So Arthur fell silent, trying to think of what to say. Of what to do. His mind racing, and his heart beating heavy in his chest. "I . . . " He had no words. He had compromised her and now their baby. He let out a heavy breath, as if suddenly having been winded. "A baby . . . " He thought saying it out loud would make it more real. But somehow, it didn't. Somehow, he couldn't stop his head from spinning as he continued to try and let these words properly process.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT When Arthur found out about his arranged marriage . . . Arthur wasn't sure how he felt. He had always known he'd marry for the good of the kingdom, but for it to come this soon was . . . unexpected. Still. The ceremony had happened and, well, it wasn't as horrible as he had thought it may be. Guinevère was rather beautiful and she seemed to have a good heart. This fact was only strengthened the more time he spent with her.
He found himself caring for her, in a deeper way than he'd cared for anyone. And . . . more than he thought he could care for someone he was basically forced to marry. He often wondered what her own thoughts had been about it; being with a husband she had not known. But the two of them seemed to . . . fit. To work. And the marriage had become something comfortable and deeper than Arthur had thought. He had genuine feelings for his wife, and was proud to call himself her husband.
With the annual jousting tournament approaching, Arthur was practicing along with a few others in the designated area. Guinevère was watching along with a few other visiting nobles. His eyes narrowed at the circular target that he was to get his lance into and . . . with the princess never seeing him joust before, he did wish to impress. Just as he wished to make his father proud. Moving his horse with the required speed, he raced toward the target, positioning his land with the required angle as the one holding it above his head closed his eyes nervously.
In one swift entry, the ring linked perfectly onto Arthur's lance as he raised it up and turned his horse around to the other side of the arena. He could hear applause as he felt the pride within him as he pulled off his helmet and motioned his horse toward the audience pew reserved for royalty . . . where Guinevère sat with her maids. He lowered his head in a nod as he wore a smile upon his lips. "My lady," he acknowledged, before meeting her gaze once more, and giving Guinevère a small playful wink. Yes. He did wish to make her and his father proud at the tournament. Now, more than ever he needed to win.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur immediately wrapped his arms around her in return, holding her close. He closed his eyes, taking in the warm sensation he always felt when she was near. When he was able to hold her. Having missed it for so long, he wished they had forever in this tent. "I was going to find you the first chance I was able," he told her. Usually, it was at night when most others were asleep and there was less of a chance they would get caught.
He drew his head back to look at her, raising one hand to her cheek. "Are you alright?" He asked with genuine concern in his voice. He had already lost one person he loved . . . he could not imagine anything happening to Guinevère too. Whatever happened though, was clearly important and right now, in this moment, Guinevère had his undivided attention. But they both knew that it could only last so long. Eventually, someone would be looking for him or demand his presence. How he wished that things were different between them. Where he could truly give her the care that she deserved.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT He had always thought that he would die for his kingdom. For Camelot. So many times he had faced danger, believing he would not come out alive . . . but that did not stop him from charging straight into it without a moment's hesitation. It was the desire of any man in his position. Not that anyone wanted to die, but . . . death was the only certainty in this world. The only inevitable fate. And so if he had to go down, if he had to die, he preferred it would be with honour. This, would save so many. It would save the kingdom because he had faith. His trust for the druids had led him on this path and he just watched, a smile so easy to form on his lips and perhaps the first time he had smiled ever since she had taken over.
He emerged from the water and the two embraced. He did not have much time though, so told him. Told him of all that had happened and was happening. He could see it in the other's face. The shock, the horror, the confusion, especially when he made mention of the queen. Not the tyrant queen but the true queen of Camelot. It was then that he walked backwards, into the water from which the other just emerged. What was he doing, the other demanded to know. The last part of the tale, that everything . . . came at a cost. But just as he was to be submerged in the water, he felt arms pull him back, as if trying to rescue him. Didn't he know?! His presence would save them all. His death would not be done in vain. And so, he told him . . . "You have to let me go, Sire." But he wouldn't. Arthur refused to let his brother of heart go. He refused to let another die so that he could live.
"I find no greater honor, than giving my life for yours. Do not let it be done in vain." Arthur could feel his eyes moisten with tears, of watching the ultimate sacrifice his friend was making. He felt Leon's hands start to pull his away. A smile was upon Leon's lips. No fear. No regret. Only . . . confidence. Certainty. And, a flicker of joy. "Long live Camelot." Arthur could feel his heart ache as a tear rolled down his cheek. "Long live the King." And with those words, he watched Leon submerge himself into the water . . . never to arise. Arthur just stood there, trying to process everything that had happened. No. He would not let this be done in vain. He would save Guinevère. He would save Camelot.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur had just returned a few hours ago from another failed endeavour. He could see his father's patience growing thin at these repeated failures, and Arthur felt it. For every moment that Morgana was gone . . . he feared what she may be enduring. He had to believe that she was still alive though. Which was why they kept going out and searching for her. But the cost was getting higher each time. They were losing more men, using more resources -- especially after the dragon attacks when the city was in need of repair -- yet his father would not stop. This time, they had been gone for weeks and upon his return, his father only asked of what had happened.
It was getting exhausting and as desperate as he too was to find Morgana, he could not keep risking the lives of his men. Speaking of, he was on the training field, watching their progress. Another had taken over in his absence and Arthur needed to see what state they were all in. So he stood there, arms folded across his chest, watching two of them spar. "Watch your footwork," he instructed. He would have to catch them up on their training but . . . he had no idea how long he was here for before the king sent him out again. As he watched, he caught a glance of Guinevère, quickly making her way to his tent. This immediately caught Arthur's interest. He had not seen her yet since his return -- considering it had been early in the day -- but for her to risk her presence on the training ground, and the tent . . . well, he was concerned.
"Next," he instructed, motioning to the next two men waiting. "Take over Sir Leon," he told him, as he made his way to his tent to see he. As soon as he stepped inside, he made his way over to her. "Guinevère, what's wrong?" He had missed her and had every intention of seeing her tonight but . . . the nature of their relationship was indeed delicate. Especially as it had progressed to one of more physicality. He still remembered it. Every touch. And while he had told himself it could not happen again, it had. But his mind was cleared of such things and focused only on what could have brought her to his tent in the middle of the day.

 Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur was not happy. He and Guinevère were recently married -- one of the many liberties he now had as king -- and the media seemed to be having a field day with everything. Including, emphasizing her background. He knew it was a big reason that his father disapproved of her. That she didn't have a well known family nor was she of a high class. It hadn't stopped them from falling in love or being together but it had caused its stresses. But now, it was not his father. It was a damn newspaper article that seemed to be delving far too deep into Guinevère's past and upbringing. And Arthur strongly disapproved. "Have you read the newspaper stories about my wife?!" He demanded at one of his people responsible for all media and publicity when it came to the Pendragon name.
Arthur waved around the paper in his hand before tossing it on the desk of his office. "This is getting ridiculous," he further stated. They had done this when he and Guinevère's relationship came out in the open -- and they were still doing it. "Why can't it focus on the charity work she's doing? Or how she has helped the economy?" He asked only somewhat rhetorically. It was mentioned, but Arthur wondered why it was not the main focus and topic of the article. It was then that he noticed that Guinevère was at the door of his office and he paused, wondering how much she had heard -- or if she had seen the article. "Guinevère," he greeted, motioning with a tilt of his head for the others to leave the room.
