[That's far too kind of her. It's far, far too kind...and Bedivere does not deserve it. He slowly stands, head still bowed, when she tells him he can rise.
A slow breath in, and he lifts his chin fractionally. What does he say? How does he apologize for failing his king so, so badly? For not doing the one thing she'd asked of him?]
It... is truly good to see you well.

[ That's what finally gets her demeanor to soften into a slight smile. The tone of his voice, the softness of it, it's kind and familiar. She still isn't completely sure where to begin, since even after... several knights now, it's always awkward at the beginning. Now they have the advantage of looking back at all their pasts from a distance. It provides the opportunity to make things as they were, early at the Round Table, but getting there isn't easy. But as before, with everyone but Mordred, the softness of her knight's voice gives her hope that it's possible. ]

[ FUCK YOU MERLIN ]
[ I mean. She takes a half step back from the door to give Bedivere room to step out. ]

Have you had a chance to see Chaldea?
