asgardeventide | 3rd Judgement ~ [Video]

[While Uther holds his back straight and chin held high - because he is king and whatever he can keep of that he'll take - he looks fairly worse for wear with slight bags under his eyes and obvious exhaustion despite his posture. It's been rough ever since he came here, but even more so recently, and sleep and rest is are very elusive things.

But despite how tired he is, he's relied on Arthur's support for too long and, honestly, he's not sure he can convince himself he even deserves that loyalty so much anymore. That's why he's addressing the network.

He almost feels a little awkward, but he doesn't show it.]

How does one go about.. finding a job?

[It's probably less about it being a new world so how should he know how it works and more about him not having had to look for one, ever.]

((OOC: I'm going to go on a slowatus from tomorrow until the 9th August oops so this isn't really great timing, but waiting would have been OOC of him so at least I can get in a day of proper tagging. Do please bear with me orz.))

How could I kill you?

[Pushing off the table, he walks around in a circle, putting a hand on his hip and stopping with his side turned towards Morgana, staring at the wall. He tries to imagine it, tries telling himself that if he found out back home he should kill her but...

But how?]

How could I kill you and live with myself? I--

[He already had a part in killing the light of his life and he only survived because it was in exchange for another. How could he--

Never. He could never do that.]

Because I am your daughter?

[ somehow, she does feel for him and it upsets her further. She should not. ]

They had parents to weep over them too. And brothers and sisters and children. Families that mourned for them as you would mourn for me if I should die tomorrow at your hands or not.

[ how could you kill them and live with yourself. She simply cannot see it. ]

If someone breaks the law, it does not matter if they have family.

[Look, don't call him out on his shit he just couldn't, okay? Leave him alone.]

Then it should not matter either if that someone were to be the daughter of the king now would it not?

[ you are not making sense, Father, damn you. ]

If I killed either you or Arthur it would destroy me!

[He takes a deep breath, and glances away as he presses his index finger to his lips, closing his eyes. Breathe, breathe, in and out.]

Better than to destroy others?

[ she really is just livid, what even. ]

I don't know which is worse. That I spent time thinking you would kill even me because of your hatred or finding out now that you do not have to courage to. Both are equally disappointing.

[ she grabs her cloak and turns, simply call her Lady Disdain from now on. ]

[GOD MORGANA THERE IS NO PLEASING YOU??

Uther turns back to look at Morgana because of one word alone, because it comes as an utter surprise to him.]

It has nothing to do with courage.

No it does not, it's cowardice. Had you truly believed all magic was evil you'd kill me but you cannot even do that. What does that say of your oh so passionate beliefs?

[ she'll linger at the doorway for one more moment, if only to deliver that. Perhaps he will actually start thinking of how absurd this is. ]

[What is says, Morgana, is that those beliefs don't matter when your life is at stake. But Uther can't even begin to utter a response before Morgana's gone, and he places his hand against the wall to help steady himself.

Morgana has magic... Something like that is actually...

He never dared think that could happen, but...

Ah, he needs to sit down.]
