[ gwen accidently turns this to video at first. forgive her, she's exhausted. utterly. and she looks it when the camera shows her gaunt face and there are shadows beneath her eyes. she fumbles quickly to switch it to text; ]

Is there anyone on the ship that could make me a sleeping draft?

If I can find the right things in the gardens, I can try.

[chambermaid]

I would be very grateful. I am afraid I do not have much to exchange for it, perhaps a small blade from the forge?

Gwen...

[You look terrible is just not something you say. Even Merlin knows that.]

Maybe we should try something a little quicker.

[chambermaid]

[ only for you will she video!]

Quicker?

[servant]

I could use a spell. I've done it before, you'd be in no danger.

[Merlin, no.]

private video.

[chambermaid]

[ she hesitates before she realizes that it's merlin, she trusts him, completely.]

If you think it would help then yes.

private video.

[servant]

I'll come to your room right away.

How many nights has it been now? [Because they're servants, and used to a little less sleep than others. So for Gwen to look that tired...]

[atent_dead]

Can. Ain't always the wisest plan though.

[chambermaid]

Why do you believe that?

Voice because she hates these newfangled gizmos

[atent_dead]

Just treatin' the symptoms. Ain't gettin' at the cause.

text; for her forever

[chambermaid]

What do you think is the cause?

Re: text; for her forever

[atent_dead]

Still workin' on that bit. Lotta newfangled nonsense here. Could be any of it.

if there were a sleeping draft that was looking to find you where would it go/be sent

[text]

[chambermaid]

My room.

[text]

[doggedly]

and if i were to bring something of the sort to you would i be allowed for a visit or would i have to leave it at the door
i make a really poor delivery boy
consider that whilst answering

[text]

[chambermaid]

Please, no, I am not-- [ he clearly wants to visit and it would be unkind deny someone who is going to help her.]

I am not sure I am very fit for visitors, i would not be very good company.

[text]

[doggedly]

[Yeah, that's... what he thought. GWEN YOU'RE WORRYING.]

good thing im not a visitor then yeah
just friends


but if you insist i can work on it and just leave it at your door

[ a sleeping draft. morgana had too many of those; too many that gaius promised will help and didn't. she doesn't trust them and wouldn't approve of just anything given to gwen, not her sweet gwen who could be affected if the maker is not trustworthy. but she looks so tired and morgana knows the feeling as she does her own name, is used to it by now but gwen isn't. ]

Oh Gwen. will you let me see you?

private video.

[chambermaid]

[ she turns the video to private.]

I am sorry that I have not been to visit you since two days ago. I've taken to my bed in hopes I'll get some rest.

private video.

[foreshadowed]

And have you managed to rest, even a little?

[ she doesn't sound nor look well and Morgana knows what it feels like but she never thought she would see Gwen like this. ]

private video.

[chambermaid]

I cannot seem to. My body is... restless. [ or something.]

[longestnose]

I can't sleep either, m'lady.

text;

[chambermaid]

I wonder if it something on the ship that prevents us from getting rest? Is that possible?

text;

[longestnose]

Aye, I would not doubt it. This place is strange, and can do things I would not think a place could do.

text;

[chambermaid]

I am afraid to say I never know what to expect of this place. It feels as though dangerous things always lurk around the corner.
