[ And here is one person who hadn't shown her face in a long while. This is the Lady Morgana, a long gown, pale skin and black hair caught up in a messy bun.

A messy..? Yes, for once, she doesn't look flawless. But that is because of where she is.

Lady Morgana is in the kitchen and from the look of it, she is baking.

A royal woman baking, yep.

At her side, there is a rather nice looking pile of cookie dough and a few trays of cookies which she had, at last, after many weeks, managed to comprehend how to bake.

But now she's not baking them, rather she is trying something new. But she looks confused. ]

Mix the eggs - do they mean one at a time or all together?

[ watch her frown at the recipe. ]

Has anyone ever attempted baking a cheese cake? I find myself rather confused. I managed the crust but I can't comprehend the rest of it.

[ and now watch her just...eat a bit of cookie dough. This is hard, ok? ]

It is my hope you shall meet again, then. Merlin is one of my best friends.

[burntviolet]

I hope so, too. He was very kind and helpful to me, when I wanted to learn about my powers.

[veneficus]

You and Merlin have the same power?

[burntviolet]

Well, I have Growth. He organized a meeting to teach people about powers in general.

[veneficus]

Growth, what does that mean? How does it work?

[burntviolet]

Growth lets me... grow plants. Basically. Recently I can also grow them out of their normal sizes, too.

[unfalteringly]

Great. I don't always have a chance to make things like that at home. It's a little too rich for most people where I live.

[veneficus]

What a lovely skill. Can you grow flowers?

[burntviolet]

Yes, I can. Though I try to be careful so they won't grow too much. I'm training a lot lately.

[veneficus]

You...live in a lower city?

[ she doesn't judge. Her best friend is a servant. ]

[veneficus]

That's wonderful. This city could use more flowers.

[burntviolet]

I agree... I want to become better, so I can contribute a little to make this city prettier.

[unfalteringly]

I do, yes. [ If he truly understands her meaning ] I believe most of the population of Panem does.

[minifridge]

[Okay, that actually has her mouth twitching a little, fighting a smile.]

Okay. A word.

[ action ]

[pratentious]

[ he just narrows his eyes even further, indignant with her tugging. just like when they were children, absolutely nothing has changed. ]

I swear, if you've poisoned this and I die from eating cookie dough, I will never forgive you.

[pratentious]

[ see your prince be terribly affronted. ]

Why do you immediately assume it's my fault?

[pratentious]

[ aldskjfal;ksjdf what ]

Mary!

[minifridge]

[Hey look, they're not talking about her anymore!]

What~?

[veneficus]

Is you kind that incompetent he cannot feed his people?

[pratentious]

Don't - encourage her madness! You'll only enable her to further atrocities!

[ unless he really did do something? in which case, don't encourage her madness. ]

[veneficus]

That's the sweetest of ambitions.

[veneficus]

He did? I shall strike him over the head for insulting your honor, my lady.

[veneficus]

Let us see, I did not do anything since she is talking freely to me. Gwen cannot insult a soul and Merlin only insults you when you demand it. That leaves me with just yourself and she is approving of my speculation!

What have you done?

[ action ]

[veneficus]

Oh try it and stop being such a child, really, there are times I feel like I am still followed by an eleven year old.

[minifridge]

Can I watch?
