"Well, that's good. Especially if they couldn't do it before." Gwen's optimistic, as usual, about the guards and their abilities, even if it isn't something she knows too much about. "What were you distracting yourself from?"
"I...it's just...well, it's not really..." Arthur clears his throat. Really it seems like a totally inappropriate thing to ask. "I don't know what to do about the King."
Arthur has caught Gwen by surprise again, and it's a moment before she can think of what to say in response to that. "What do you mean? And what do you want from me?"
"Perhaps you should consider how you would feel about the situation if I weren't involved." This next part is difficult for Gwen to say, but she manages to get it out, anyway. "He really just had what he thought were your best interests at heart." She'd add more to that, but really can't bring herself to.
There's the sudden arrival of a particular lady. These are her chambers, so she's not about to knock, no matter what.
As terrible as it sounds, she's disappointed not to have caught them in something that could've brought about a loud expression of shock. It was a hope, and a bit of a set up, but none of this shows on her face.
And she's already got a reason for appearing. "Arthur, your father is looking for you." Actually, Morgana put the bug in his ear about Arthur being given more responsibility, as a way of distracting the prince from his recent 'enchantment.'
There's a hope to make ruling appear so unappealing that Arthur will choose to elope with Gwen.

"How has the last few days been? Aside from utterly bereft without me?"
And hey, that's an improvement if nothing else.
But ah Guinevere...always getting to the heart of the matter, that wasn't the only problem.
"There's something else as well..." He looks quite embarrassed, he can't believe he's going to ask this.

Well, blurting it out is a good way to do things.
But...and there's always a but.
"And it just seems..." he trails off not even able to articulate his feelings.
He's asking a lot of Guinevere...
"I...I just don't want to do the wrong thing, that's all..." He sighs and rubs the back of his neck with one hand.
"I know you have my best interests in heart always."
And that sort of love should be celebrated with a kiss.

"Morgana! Don't just burst in! I thought...you could have been anyone!"
