What Dreams May Come... *Action Sequence*

[not_a_clotpole]

The King awakes to a very different world from the one that he has always known.

Except...it doesn't feel like that to him. It seems that this is how it's always been.

How different one change can make...

Right now Arthur has just made his first speech to the people as King in his own right...and he hasn't a clue as to how he went. Anyone care to enlighten him?

"Don't even think about it!" Arthur would never hear the end of it if she did.

"Maybe you don't brush your hair all day, but you don't have to wear this stupid crown and make speeches."

"No, I only have to keep everyone in line, help your mother make sure no one is sitting near anyone who may decide to duel each other, all the while allowing everyone to believe you are in charge."

In short, she'd rather be giving the speeches and wearing the crown. It's likely less taxing.

"I am in charge." Those are fighting words, Morgana, Arthur put everything in to today's speech and well, behind the scenes work is always easy to forget about.

"Anyway you have my mother to help you, no-one can make my speech for me."

Well, they could, but it would be very bad form.

"Are you really, Arthur, or do your mother and I let you believe that?"

If Arthur ever repeats such a statement to the Dowager Queen, Morgana will simple claim she was teasing.

She's so crafty with her words, even now.

This is Arthur, looking at you very suspiciously indeed, Morgana.

Then he grins. "Are you plotting to overthrow me? Do I need to call the guards?"

And she's looking right back at you, innocent as a newborn babe.

"Only one day as King and you are already threatening me with the guards? Do I make you nervous, Arthur? Afraid I could beat you, even in this."

Yes, yes she did just go there.

She did and Arthur's eyes narrow.

Folding his arms he puts on an expression of absolute seriousness. "When do you ever beat me? Fairly, I mean?"

She's not going to fall for that. "Arthur, pretending it is not true does not make it so."
