Gift-Giving *Action Sequence* - 25th December 1005

[not_a_clotpole]

As the traditional Camelot Yule Feast drags on, Arthur decides it's a very good time to escape, besides he has presents to give!

Father's of course will have to be given once he stops talking to the all Counsellors, but in the meantime - Morgana's, Guinevere's and Merlin's gifts!

He's very happy with his selections this year and can't wait to give them out!

Don't keep the Crown Prince of Camelot waiting then, it's extremely rude!

"Well...I could be presuaded," he shouldn't encourage her, but he's so happy to see her smile, he can't help it. "Depending on what he gets up to in the next few years. Who knows, he may become competent. And you can't let a good servant get away."

"No, it would be a shame to let a competent servant get away, or one that could be featured in such an event."

Not that Merlin was going to get away with anything, in Morgana's mind.

"I hope this Yule has been nothing but a joy for you, Arthur."

"I'm starting to think we may have to start putting the guards in the stocks. A few days without training and they seem to fall apart!" Rolls eyes and puts on his most despairing look.

Her well-wishes make him smile again. "And you as well, Morgana."

What the Hell, have another hug!

This time, Morgana is much more prepared, and she even shows a little sisterly affection of her own.

Arthur gets a quick kiss on the cheek.

She's not supposed to feel this way about Arthur, Morgause has made that clear, but at the moment, Morgana's forgotten.

"Hey, you'll get the gossips going again!" He chuckles, but it's clear his pleased with this.

If Ghost!Morgana was a warning...well hopefully he can avoid that!

"Ah! Looks like Father's finally free, I better give him the goblet while he's still able to rememeber!" He gets to his feet then pauses. "Did you want to see? You can tell me just how sappy it is."

Calls over a servant who is carring a case, Arthur opens it and shows Morgana the goblet within.

That old idea, and the whispers of palace gossips for years, actually makes her cringe. "I think we are long past that." When she looks behind her though, and sees a couple of the lords staring, lords who have all failed to get her attention in the past, she rolls her eyes.

The goblet gets as different reaction. She runs her fingers across the inscription. "It is lovely, Arthur. I can see you kept the smiths busy for this Yule."

Arthur will poke his tongue out at the lords in question...which will either make things worse...or won't. It's hard to tell in Camelot!

"Well, the silversmith is always complaining that people perfer the goldsmith to him. I thought I'd give him a taste of busyness. I'm not sure he liked it." Laughs.

He shuts the box. "Right, better get over there before Monmouth waylays Father, we won't see him for days when that happens."

"I am certain he appreciates your patronage, nonetheless."

Morgana looks at the lords again and is tempted to follow Arthur's lead, and would have, if she was half a decade younger.

"If you do not catch him now, you will not, and we cannot distract him by making frog noises anymore."

Morgana smirks, but this isn't a mean one, at that memory.

A non-mean smirk! Miracle!

And ah, memories of Geoffrey the Frog are always appreciated.

Arthur is going to head over and hope he beats Geoffrey to Father.

"If I get caught by Monmouth, pray for me."

"If he holds you up for more than a half an hour, I promise to rescue you."

Morgana takes promises very seriously, but for now, lets Arthur go to give his gift to his father.
