Gwen raced through the courtyard and up the stairs, rushing to Morgana's room. She threw open the door, slamming it behind her and slumping against the wood.

"Guinevere!" Morgana called, hurrying to her maids side. "Guinevere, what's happened? Are you injured? Should I fetch Gaius?" She said frantically.

Gwen shook her head, struggling slightly to catch her breath. She placed a hand on Morgana's arm, squeezing slightly while taking a few deep breaths. "Juliana…Nell…you and me." she said, taking a few more deep breaths.

Morgana shook her head. "I don't understand," she helped Gwen up and helped her to sit on the bed. "What do those two have to do with you and I?"

Gwen took another deep breath, still holding onto Morgana's arm, nodding slightly. "This morning I went to go see if they were settling in and to welcome them to Camelot, bring them some food for them, but I didn't see them so I went to look for them -"

Morgana shook her head, smirking slightly. "Wait, you went into their home?" She asked.

Gwen rolled her eyes. "That's not the point!" She murmured. "I saw them. Both of them. They shared a room last night."

"So, they shared a room," Morgana said. "Maybe they just aren't used to sleeping in their own rooms. Maybe they always shared a room before." She suggested.

Gwen shook her head. "No, they were together. Like, romantically." She murmured, reaching to hold Morgana's hands in her own. "Like, the way you and I are." She whispered.

Morgana's mouth fell open, trying to figure out what she could say. What an appropriate response would be. The proper words eluded her. She just shook her head.

Gwen looked at Morgana and shook her own head. "So?" She said

"So what?"

Gwen shrugged, "So - we have to tell them about us," She insisted. "I mean, we have to let them know that we know, that their secret is safe with us!" She said, smiling wide.

Morgana shook her head. "No, I - I mean, I don't know if it's a good idea." She said.

Gwen scoffed. "What do you mean, of course it is!" She insisted. "You know what this means, right? It means that we aren't alone!" She said, standing and spinning to face Morgana, smiling widely at the Kings ward. "It means that this isn't just us! We aren't crazy for having these feelings!" She insisted, adding under her breath. "It means I'm not crazy." She looked up at Morgana, who looked hurt by Gwen's words.

"Is that what you thought?" Morgana whispered. "You thought you were crazy? You thought I was crazy?" She said.

Gwen caught her breath, kneeling in front of Morgana. "Oh, Morgana, you know that isn't what I meant." She insisted.

Morgana pulled away from Gwen suddenly. "But that's what you said, so there must have been some part of it that was at least slightly genuine!" She said, raising her voice slightly.

Gwen could feel her own emotions rising, anger and fear and desperation. "No, that's not what I meant! Not at all! You know that I didn't mean it like that!" She pleaded.

Morgana shook her head, crossing her arms. "I think I just need some time to process these facts," she murmured. "You can go for the day." She said. She laid back down on her bed, back towards Gwen.

Gwen sighed. "Morgana, I'm sorry." She said, pleading softly. She reached out, her fingers brushing Morgana's back.

Morgana pulled away from the warm, soft touch of Gwen's fingers. "Please," she said softly. "Just go." She breathed.

Gwen sighed and dropped her head. "I'm truly sorry Morgana." She said. She stood and headed towards the door, looking back once. "I love you." She murmured. She opened the door, shaking her head and closing it behind her.

Morgana sniffed softly as she heard the door close, wiping the tears from her cheeks.
