[ Outside the cottage that Gareth shares with Kadoc, the young knight is working up a sweat, dressed down to a tank top with a towel draped over her shoulders. It's hard to ignore just how much lean muscle the seemingly petite woman has in a situation like this.

She pulls a swig from her water bottle, sighing. ]

It's hard to believe I'm spending another summer in this Avalon. It really leads one to think, you know?

About time... about what it even means in a place like this. About what's going to become of all of us when this is over...

It sort of makes one think they should use their time here more urgently, right?

[ One big swig. A long pause, and... ]


... I really need to get out more.

That's interesting information in and of itself, since being a knight seems to me to be closely tied to your core identity.

[beaumains]

Well... yes, that is true. A lot of who I am is tied in that, but...

[ "Who are you?!"

Gawain's words still hung over her, though she'd actually found some comfort in them. Mostly because, while she didn't have an answer she could easily speak for it, she no longer felt weighed down by that identity. ]

It's not all of me. That was something I had to come to terms with.

[Morgan considers that a moment, then...]

For what my opinion is worth, I don't believe that anyone has parts and portions. All of you is all of you. Every aspect of you makes up the whole, and without any of them, you wouldn't be you. In my experience, distinctions like that create contradictions that don't actually exist.

But that's getting way deep into my philosophy, so I don't know. Maybe that will help you, maybe that won't.
