The Young Pendragon
"Hello, Morgana. I am very pleased to meet you," the boy said, holding out a hand.
She glared at him, not believing his words to be sincere until a cough from King Uther brought her to her senses.
"It's a pleasure to meet you too, Prince Arthur," she replied, forcing herself to smile. The boy took one look at her expression and quite obviously paled, glancing nervously at his father. Uther's lips twitched and he raised his eyebrows at her, as if expecting something more.
I hear you have some talent with the sword," she continued, guessing that her negative feelings about being forced to come to Camelot were showing and remembering her father's instructions about etiquette.
"Yes," the boy announced proudly. "Apparently I have a great deal of talent."
"Do you now?" she replied with a laugh. "Perhaps you would like to spar with me sometime?"
Arthur glared at her. "I don't fight girls," he said. "They're hopeless at it."
Morgana lunged forward and punched the annoying child as hard as she could. "Really?" she said sweetly as Arthur put his hand to his bleeding lip and looked up at her in shock. "Are you quite sure about that?"

A/N. My apologies, I've just realised I've missed a bit off the end of the chapter 3 drabble. I've now corrected that error.
