the turth it no longer thrills me

[scinlae]

If your greatest enemy arrived here and you had a chance to make them pay for all that they have done, knowing that their death will only be temporary, would you do it? Would you take the chance? Or would you let them live?

[ It frustrates her, not knowing what to do now that he is here. On the one hand she wants to kill him, she wants to make him suffer; for lying to her, for poisoning her, for ruining every one of her plans. (It was him! It was always him!)

Yet on the other hand... on the other hand she doesn't, some lingering feelings want to forgive him. But can she? Does she have the capacity to forgive him after everything? ]

Could you forgive them? For all the harm they have caused to befall you? For all the loss and torment?

I find myself at a cross roads with no idea where to turn, however I want to pose these questions to you Paradisa.

What would you do?

[ Your heart is too kind ─ the words linger on her lips, threatening to spill out but never do. There is an amusing irony in her words that almost makes her laugh, almost. ]

I fear you may be wrong, my lady, I fear there is a time where forgiveness is no longer an option.

[emboldens]

[ Is she wrong? Perhaps, but she has also known more than her fair share of loss and tragedy, so it's from experience that she speaks. ]

If this is such a time..

Then why does it bother you so?

[scinlae]

[ She falls silent and remains that way for some time. ]

I do not know, perhaps part of me still cares.

[emboldens]

[ Even though she can't see it, Igraine is smiling. ]

You will find, then, that because a part of you cares you will be able to answer that question when the time comes to address it.

[scinlae]

Perhaps you are right. [ Doesn't help her now though, when she wants to know the answer but it isn't coming to her. ]

Morgana.. [ A tiny pause, it might have even gone unnoticed. ]

May I have a few moments of your time this evening?

[scinlae]

[ Her mouth opens with a few false starts, normally she would say no and retreat within herself to muse or brood on her thoughts, but─ ]

You may.

Morgana

[emboldens]

You honor me.

Would you be opposed to meeting at Merlin's room? I do not wish to make you feel uncomfortable, though I realize that will be difficult.

[ Considering she is dead in Morgana's world. ]

Igraine

[scinlae]

That will be suitable.
