New Year's Eve with Morgana

At a quarter to midnight, the great bell of Camelot tolls once. The townspeople crowd into the streets and a lucky hundred or so get into the palace courtyard.

The Main Hall is full with the nobles of the kingdom.

And Prince Arthur (allowed to stay up for the first time!) is sneaking the corridors to Morgana's chambers to bring her down for the New Year's countdown.

"Your father defeated dragons?" Morgana's not certain if she's disbelieving or impressed.

"Why would sorcerers want to take over Camelot?"

"Yep!" Arthur nods hard enough that his little circlet almost falls off. He leans in closer. "The servants say that he's got the last Dragon locked up in the dungeon."

He pauses and thinks. "I don't know...Camelot has lots of land and treasures and things like that. I guess they wanted those."

"He has a dragon in the dungeon?" Morgana's suddenly wondering if she's been moved into prison. It's not the last time she will have that thought.

Morgana reaches up and fixes his circlet, which is now a little askew. It's not the last time she'll do that either.

"Wouldn't everyone want the lands and treasures not just magical people?"

"I've never seen it, but everyone's sure its down there, somewhere." Arthur shrugs, he has no idea where, the dungeons are a maze and even Arthur's not foolhardy enough to go searching. He could get lost forever.

He blushes at her straightening of his circlet.

"And they do, but they don't have powers to make fire and...explode rocks and things..."

Morgana -- keen on making sure accessories are properly worn, even at this age.

Arthur's tales do not differ from her father's -- who was nothing but complimentary about the King, though he desired to keep Morgana out of court, so, at this stage, they impress.

"I'd be afraid of someone who can just make fire."

Arthur nods. "How are you supposed to sword fight them! It's not really fair."

Shakes head. But brightens right up again.

"Father managed it though! I should go wish him happy new year!" He's just about to go out there, but stops. "I can take you back to your room if you want."

"No," Morgana says. "I'll stay here and watch a while longer, then I'll go to bed."

It's completely impulsive but she gives him another kiss, on the opposite cheek to the first. "There. Now you have twice the luck."

"If you're sure you'll be all right." Arthur says uncertainly, he wouldn't want anything to happen to her, since he said he'd bring her down he really should stay with her.

But the kiss on his other cheek makes him blush once again!

"Um...thank you."

And quite awkwardly he leans in and kisses her cheek.

"And um...luck for you too."

The kiss doesn't make her awkward at all. This is what Morgana is used to, though she would usually get them from her father, or her nurse, or the cook.

"I'll be fine. I promise."

She starts to leave but has to add. "So we'll both be lucky this year."
