"Percival?" Gwen whispered softly as she poked her head around the knight's chamber door. The sight of the large knight sat on his bed with his head in his hands was almost too much to bear for the soft hearted Guinevere. She sat down next to her friend and brushed his cheek with the back of her hand.
"How is he m'lady?" The male asked; looking up at the Queen with tear stained cheeks.
"He's asleep and under Gaius's care. He's going to be just fine. You got him back just in time."
"Morgana…" Percival's voice hitched in his throat. "Morgana knows where Merlin is taking Arthur. She tortured him Gwen; his screams… God knows what she did to him…"
"Hush now my brave soldier." Gwen cooed; overlooking the use of her first name as she had done many times before, since becoming Queen. "It's okay. Arthur is safe and you and Gwaine have nothing to fear. You are both safe now and I promise you that Morgana will pay for all of her crimes. You must rest. You have been through quite the ordeal."
"I need to see him." Percival choked out. "Please m'lady. I need to see he's alright."
"Okay. But I can't let you stay for long. He needs his rest just like you." The large knight nodded.
"Thank you m'lady." He whispered.
"You're welcome Percival." Gwen replied softly looping her arm around the male's back and placing a soft kiss on his cheek.
