Voice Test - Canon is Gwenhwyfar: The White Spirit by Mercedes Lackey.

Are you a sorceress like Morgana? Surely one of who shares her pride would never allow themselves to be called "Mundane". (All the same, she smirks at the idea.) Mordred has fallen - or so I am told. Arthur wounded him greatly. No man could survive such wounds.

(For her, that is comforting.)

I do not wish to speak of him or my late husband. Now is the time for moving forward and repairing what has been broken.

I have no desire to be elsewhere. (That is her oh so subtle way of saying "lay off, Mun".)

All luck to you in trying to convince her, leeka'aen.

I appreciate your kind words. Yet I'm afraid I don't know what leeka'aen means.

Ah, girl-child. I am afraid I often forget who in these places will understand.

Would you consider a soldier or a queen a girl-child? (She has no idea how old he is and she does possess a tiny bit of pride in her accomplishments.)

I may, if she were young. Queens and soldiers are no more or less human because they wear a title.

But you cannot deny that they are exposed to things a child should not see, surely?

That does not make them more or less a child. An old soul, perhaps, a scarred heart, but still children.

I feel much older than my actual years. (A pause. Her eyes look unfocused.) I was born a princess, I became a soldier, I even became a leader and then...I was a queen. Now I am myself.

"Yourself" is much preferable, no?

I wish I could say yes without grieving. Those who kept me chained did not deserve the fate that befell them. (Except maybe Mordred and little Gwen.) I was angry at Arthur, but this was not what I wished for him.

I cannot decide whether to pursue my original passion or rebuild the kingdom in some other way. I do not think I would like to marry again.

All of us grieve. Without grief we would not know joy.

I have known joy. Briefly. It never lasts.

Neither does grief, leeka'aen, though it may seem so.

Grief clings far more than joy ever could. I fear those wounds will never heal.

But it is my choice where I go now. I won't waste it.

They heal, leeka'aen, but they do leave scars.

I do not believe you will waste it. Your life is what you make of it.

You sound as if you are accustomed to the cycle of grief and joy.

At last.

Somewhat. I have seen my share of both.

It's only natural. I live in a kingdom that only enjoys fleeting moments of peace. Perhaps that can be changed.

Perhaps. I suppose you will see, no?

Unless I am detained here.

Forgive me. My name is Gwenhwyfar.

Keren'sel, Gwenhwyfar. I am Starwind.

You have lost me again, Starwind. (She smiles faintly.) All the same, it is nice to meet you.

It is simply a greeting, leeka'aen.

I have never heard your language before. What do you call it?

It is the language of my people, the Tayledras. Hawkbrother-tongue.

(She blinks.) I thought I had knowledge of most languages in other lands. Even if I do not speak them, at least I know their names. But yours...

Where are the Tayledras located?

In several places. K'Treva is hidden in the Pelagir Hills.

(She hasn't heard of them either.)

You must be from a far off land.

Such things are not so strange in these places.

I am new, so I'm afraid I don't know how this kingdom functions.

It is strange, sometimes, but you will become accustomed to it in time.

I pray I am not here long enough to become accustomed to it.

That is left to your Singer.

I much prefer Singer to Mundane.

It is what they do, no? Sing the stories of us?

One might think we are legends.

Perhaps to them we are.

Perhaps you have earned that title. I don't believe I have.

No? Why not?

Flowery invitations are a must.

Indeed. With silver embossed lettering.

And a wax seal.

Oooooooh that is super fancy

It will be the fanciest shindig ever.

Man now I'm excited XD

There should be a muse party comm.

There really should. That would be amazing

They could have a party posted every month.

Oh god that would be amazing

Each party is a masquerade with a different theme. o_o

AND NO ONE KNOWS WHO THEY'RE KISSING. I MEAN TALKING TO. >>;;

OR BOTH. <.<'

I like both. Both is good. XD

Both would likely happen.

Oh, doubtless, knowing how RP goes

I would expect a lot more than that from RPers. XD

Well, yes, but I figured by the time they made it to sex they would have figured it out. XD;;
