Fandom OC, canon is the Starz TV-series Camelot

[moderatus]

Why? Why must it be this way?

You tell me that it is because "that's the way the story goes", but the story was never told. You don't know what would have happened and how, why must you choose nothing but cruel paths for all of us to walk upon?

Why would you make me an instrument of hate if you have the power to change things?

I don't care what the fates of those who share my name are, you could tell a different story.

But you won't, will you? No, you want me to follow the ghosts of those who came before me into whatever darkness you conceive to be my inescapable end.

Grant me this at least, then: That it makes my mother smile.

[verserak]

What else am I supposed to do, really. Can't leave you to the wolves.

... You don't have many friends, do you?

[moderatus]

Make that no friends.

[verserak]

Hey, I may be not human, but I count.

[moderatus]

... Not human?

[verserak]

[He is a lot sexier when he is not just sort of... smoke.]

Not human at all.

[moderatus]

[ It's true, he is. ]

Oh, I see.

[ Well, he sort of sees. ]

[verserak]

[Tiiime to get back to his human form. It is less... all over the place.]

You are no stranger to magic? That helps.

[moderatus]

Not at all. My mother is a great sorceress.

[ Well, he thinks she's great. ]

[verserak]

You keep believing that until I have to prove you wrong, which I hope won't happen.

Are there any... definite plans when it comes to the king's end? Because they could require some changes.

[moderatus]

Nothing's been decided yet, though I have a feeling the time is drawing near.

[verserak]

Then we have to be prepared.

Do you want to be the king's murderer?

[moderatus]

I... don't know.

[ Congratulations, Versy, you are the first person he's ever admitted this to. ]

[verserak]

Because you never thought about it or because you never granted yourself the choice?

[moderatus]

Mostly the latter, I suppose.

[verserak]

I know you want to make her happy. But is it worth losing everything you have now?

Even if all you have is your life.

[moderatus]

Yes.

[ There should have been so much more hesitation there.

Versy, this boy is not entirely sane. ]

[verserak]

She can't be that terribly unhappy now.

And if she holds any love for you, she will not send you into your demise.

[moderatus]

She does love me. She does.

[verserak]

I would not dare doubting it.

She seems to have an odd way of showing this love, and you cannot deny that.
