| From The Road to Avalon:
A long time seemed to pass. Then a voice spoke to him in Latin from the doorway and he looked up to find a small girl regarding him solemny.
"I don't speak latin" he said shortly.
The child came into the room "I'm Morgan" she said in British.
"Who are you?"
"Arthur" he replied, and looked at Merlin's daughter.
[Arthur got angry at Merlin for touching him... but later Morgan touches him too and he doesn't complain]
"..I'll show you your bedroom Arthur, and you can change your clothes"
The boy's face never altered, but he took a step forward. Then he felt a small hand slip into his own "I'll show him Father" Morgan offered "He can have the bedroom next to mine"
...
She looked at him solemny "Are you going to live here now, Arthur?"
He answered cautiosly, tryin it out "Yes, I am"
She smiled. He had never seen such a smile "Oh, good" she said. "Then you can be my friend"
It was impossible not to respond to that radiant look "Yes" he said. And felt something hard and tight and hurtful in his chest begin to relax.
....
His daughter, of course, had no buisness at all being in his class. She should be with the women, learning how to weave and sew. But she wanted to do everything that Arthur did, and Merlin had given in to her without much protest. There was no doubt that Arthur was easier to handle when Morgan was present. Alone , he was reserved, impenetrable almost. With Morgan he was a different boy: relaxed and approchable. And so here she sat, his ten years old daughter, about to learn how to be leder of the men. __________________ Jensen.I can't kiss you away from my mind
