Arthur is standing on top of a castle turret, against the backdrop of a pure blue sky. He's in full armor, elegantly waving a sword about. It's all very dramatic. It becomes even moreso when the delicate strains of a ballad begin to play, and he starts singing. Sometimes there are theatrical chest-clutching gestures.

♫ When I was a prince in Camelot
I often would get out a lot
The people would line the streets to kiss my haaaaaand
But now I'm in Taxon where language is coarse and--
--seriously would it kill you to put on a corset
I miss the green fields
And the banners and shields of my laaaaand

Oh it's not easy being a prince
Not easy being me
Not easy being ...royalty
Not easy being a prince
Not easy being me

At home I'd have servants
To clean up the vermin...s
But here I must do all the choooores
Morgana gets moody
And talks to me rudely
I rarely get any peace at aaaalllll

Oh it's not easy being a prince
Not easy being me
Not easy being ...royalty
Not easy being a prince
Not easy being me

How I long for the days of hunting and fun
No-one actually realizes this armor weighs a ton
Oh, it's not easy being a priiiiiiiiince. ♫

Yes, very wisely left unsaid. We wouldn't want an epic tantrum, would we?

Also, Arthur is very grateful for Morgana's lenient treatment of him, and for the much-welcomed distraction in the form of her offer.

"You want to practice with me?" He asks, just for clarification purposes.

Despite the entertainment value of such a tantrum, Morgana is attempting to avoid such things.

"You need to practice, as do I, if I am going to offer you assistance with the Guard." The stress on the one word is very poignant.

Considering her health of late, it would be a good way to determine her own skills and fitness. "We have had similar training, and would not have to adapt to other styles, for the moment. That is, unless there is someone else in Taxon who you feel could make you a better sparring partner?"

Careful how you answer this one, Arthur.

Arthur can't help but smirk slightly at the amount of emphasis she puts on the word 'assistance', but he doesn't comment, deciding to behave himself for once instead.

He considers the question for a moment, glancing off into the distance. Morgana does make some very valid points, of course. "No, I don't much feel like taking on Sam and his giant flamethrower." He concludes, finally, looking back at her again. "When would you like to do it?"

Arthur is gaining a bit of wisdom about when to remain silent. "I have been to the Dueling Arena, to make an informal inspection, and everything is in order there," see Arthur, she anticipates, thus her assistance is quite useful. "I do not think it would be in the same state if a flamethrower becomes involved." Morgana may not know what a flamethrower is, but figures the title is pretty self-explanatory.

"So any time that is convenient for you would be acceptable."
