Summer opened her mouth to ask if Arthur knew, then paused as something occurred to her. \u201cYou \u2026 keep blushing,\u201d she commented, smiling a little. \u201cDoes no one ever compliment you?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

There usually isn\u2019t much to be complimented on,\u00a0<\/em>he shrugged matter-of-factly. I think only three living people know about my magic\u2014four now that you know\u2014and when I\u2019m not messing up, I\u2019m doing my job or breaking the law. Or some combination of the three.\u00a0<\/em>Realizing that he was getting into overly-negative territory, he changed the topic.\u00a0I probably wouldn\u2019t blush so much if I had darker skin, anyway. Um, where are you from, exactly?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cSouth. Far south, and east, on the edge of the water, where the white cliffs fall into the sea. It\u2019s really beautiful there.\u201d She smiled more wistfully, thinking of her home. \u201cWell, so long as dragons aren\u2019t terrorising us. Our folk are bringing in the harvest now. Some of it we\u2019ll sell across the water, and some we\u2019ll trade with my sister\u2019s lord.\u201d Picking at the coverlet, Summer went on, \u201cThey\u2019ll be wondering if I\u2019m alive, I expect. But there won\u2019t be too much concern yet.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That does sound beautiful,\u00a0<\/em>Merlin couldn\u2019t help but grin as he imagined the place. A small part of him longed to see it for himself, but he pushed those thoughts aside.\u00a0Your sister\u2019s lord? Does she live in another area?\u00a0<\/em>He was dying to ask more about the dragons but chose to save those questions for later.\u00a0Is there any way we could send them a letter to let them know that you\u2019re alright?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“My twin. She married to the north. We needed the alliance — well, what we really needed was to stop raiding each other. The seasons of peace have been good.” She took a little time to consider Merlin’s last question, fingers worrying together. “I suppose. I can’t afford a courier any more than a place to stay, though. So writing a letter would do little good.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
