Well...at least I think I've been rewarded...of course, the day started off with its usual annoyances. Merlin decided to go AWOL, I tracked him down of course...studying some...massive tome. He said Gaius put him up to it, but I wonder...

Even if Gaius did I hardly think he was actually being serious...Merlin can be such a fool.

But his sword skills are really shaping up, not that I heaped praise on him or anything...the last thing Merlin needs is an ego. Besides I did pit him against some of the guards and we know about the guards.

But! I was mercifully released from having to think too much about their failures by the fact that I got to spend time with Guinevere...It's been much too long since I saw her and during the afternoon I was able to spend time with her and even speak to her about one of the things Morgana and I discovered in the attics.

Then later on, the Council decided yesterday had been painful enough so I was free to do what I pleased. Merlin insisted on dragging me to the fair that's going on in Camelot at present. Don't ask me why I gave in, but a very pleased I did...I must do something nice for Merlin because Guinevere was there. Morgana must have given her the evening off! I'll have to do something nice for her as well.

But...really I can't imagine anything I could do would be as nice as having been honoured with Guinevere's company today.

I can write this right...I mean, it's a journal...it's all about feelings, anyway.
