voice testing. also all the spoilers for season 4.

[conquering]

 A bit too early to be joyful about this, don't you think, mundane? 

After all, even you and I couldn't have foreseen some matters. I would advice you to be more cautious.

We do have work to do.

Look who's back from beyond the veil. Again.

[sworntovalor]

[Spending some time away from the land of the living really does put things in perspective, he found.]

You would do well to consider that another course of action might cause you - let alone the whole of Albion and the people you claim to protect - a lot less pain.

[Also, icon keywords.]

sobs.

[conquering]

---- You. Why are you here? You're supposed to be -

/pat pat

[sworntovalor]

Dead? Indeed. It seems things do not quite go according to anyone's plans.

[conquering]

And you are back to torture me and hunt me? I was under the impression my final order gave you peace.

[sworntovalor]

I do not know how or why I have returned, but I do not question it. It seems that peace is not yet on either of our foreseeable futures.

[conquering]

Leave me be, then. Find your peace in whatever way you see fit.

[sworntovalor]

I see fit to find it in protecting my friends, protecting Camelot. And restoring my good name. [He might be more than a little bitter about that]

You cannot win. Arthur will remain on his throne, and will guide Camelot into a brighter future. Perhaps it is you who should seek out peace.

[conquering]

[ she laughs, it's wild and uncontrolled and perhaps there are times she scares herself. ]

Then go. Do that. Protect your king and queen as you wish. But know this - I will never give up my goals. I have nothing left to lose. This isn't the end.

[sworntovalor]

What are your goals? Do you even know? Do you only wish to be queen for the sake of the title?

[conquering]

My reasons are none of your concern, Sir Lancelot, knight of Camelot. Know your place.

[sworntovalor]

Your reasons concern all of us.

[Hey he died twice now - he has no fear.]

[conquering]

Only when I decide so.

[sworntovalor]

It does not seem like you have changed your mind.

[conquering]

I have no reason to.

[sworntovalor]

What is the point of royalty if not to serve the people? You serve no one, not even yourself.

[conquering]

You have no idea whom I serve and why. You do not even know me.

[ Maybe some version of you knows some version of her, Lancelot, but don't assume it means anything...! ]

[sworntovalor]

One learns much when one leaves this world.

[conquering]

I almost left this world myself and was returned as well. Do not think me for a fool. I will do anything and everything to get my throne, and you will do everything to see Arthur remain on it. I know not to expect anything but the very best you can do - Sir Lancelot -

[ a mock bow. ]

I hope not to kill you again.

[ she actually means it. ]

[sworntovalor]

I think you many things, my Lady. [The honorific might be a little strained] But never a fool. Lost, more like. What good is a throne if you do not have the people? And you know as well as I - that you do not.

For Arthur and the Camelot he will build, I would die a thousand times. [Have a curt bow in return] Are there any who will lay down their lives for the future you will build? [And not for carnal desires.]

[conquering]

You think no one died for me, Knight of Camelot? Others died. My sister lost her life for this battle and for her I will never give up.
