[ It would be easy to crush that hope, inform her that the girl is on the threshold of a mistake, seduced by a misleading prophecy even after the grace Morgan gave her during their meeting. And yet, the queen does not do this. She will let the new Avalon Le Fae make her choice and then act. She will say nothing except what she could observe from her throne. ]

She has found trusted companions.

[ Morgan mentions. She is not alone. Happiness or sadness will result from her future choices if she continues her pilgrimage. She is, at least, not a distant monarch, carrying the weight of the kingdom, although she shoulders other types of hopes on hers. No, it is Morgan who takes up that role.

.....................

Such words surprise her. They are not entirely unwelcomed— But still, her expression becomes less guarded. The aloofness remains, but her voice has a softer, wistful inflection. ]

I will welcome any visitor who wishes to travel to my kingdom. [ She starts with a nod. ] You must be prudent. I—  Vivian gave you those gifts, but not all fairies are as selflessly generous. If you visit, under no circumstances accept the chalice of the Wind Clan leader, as beautiful and kind as she appears. Do you understand me?

[ It is not concerned. She has to be Artoria's enemy, but it does not mean she tolerates deception like this. That is one of the main differences from her more chaotic counterpart in Proper Human History. She knows if the King of Knights visits, there will be a commotion to take away the spotlight of Britain's darling: Lady Aurora. Aurora, a fairy whose purpose is to be the "most beloved, most beautiful" does not tolerate being overshadowed. 

It will be easy to poison Artoria and frame the queen as she always does. ]

[ Saber allows a hint of a wistful smile to play over her features. She has many regrets about her life, about her family, about what she allowed to happen. Maybe she could have changed things if she did it all over again but there's no point in wishing for what cannot be. She recognizes the tone in her "sister's" voice and accepts the advice with a firm nod. ]

...I understand. I will be on my guard, should I ever find a chance to visit your England. Your Camelot. You need not fear for my own safety - I still managed to hold the throne for almost twenty years, did I not?

[ She's not a babe in the woods, she means to say. ]

[gaeaf]

Hmph. A hostess must give a forewarning to a visiting guest.

[ She knows those vile faeries very well. She sighs as she hears that declaration. And who succeeded to sow discord but a fairy among humans? In a way, her counterpart had been driven by the same irrational fulfillment of a "purpose" that does not mind destroying the future. She sympathizes with her rage, yet that undid Vivian's efforts and sped the departure of the Mystics.  ]

Among humans. [ Morgan stresses. Humans wanted an ideal ruler, not the fae who slain that kind of monarch on his coronation day.  A misfortunate day she will never forget nor forgive. ] They are greedy and power-hungry, but even in their egos, they can reflect on the past and plan for the future. [ A capacity to "grow" most of the fae lack. They are, with a few exceptions, manifested whole and remain stagnant for their existence. ] 

Most of my subjects only care about the present and will act accordingly. They may conduct themselves as courtiers for their own amusement and fear of my retaliation but do not forget fairies are forces of nature.

[arturiarex]

It's... appreciated. Even if your predecessor and I were not precisely on the best of terms.

[ Nor they with each other, come to think of it. She listens to the warnings, though, expression thoughtful. ]

They may be forces of nature - but I am a force myself. Part dragon, at least, and able to hold my own. I will be careful, though. I have no wish to bring violence and disruption into my hostess's home.

[gaeaf]

We are still not. I am an enemy of Proper Human History. [ She has no reason to hide this fact. It is a fair warning. ] Regardless, I am also a head of state who knows and oversees decorum.

[ She assures civility is possible in these terms. It is an unspoken soft spot of hers to receive visitors who might remember her kingdom. ]

Yes, I do remember that. [ Her eyebrow twitches as she considers another issue. How will Tam Lin Lancelot take this meeting? The draconic fairy is Albion's remnant. It would be safer to assign Tam Lin Gawain as a guide.  ]

I... appreciate that.

[arturiarex]

History has happened. Or it will happen. I don't believe it is something that requires us to come to blows.

[ Well, not here anyway. ]

[gaeaf]

We will see.

[ If only were so simple. Nevertheless, Morgan can overlook this for now. In deference on the side of her that is Vivian. ]

May you find rest in Avalon soon, Artoria.

[arturiarex]

We'll see. There are still people I wish to see before I sleep.

[ She bows. ]

Thank you, Morgan.
