Text to Meredith

[Lorelei Summer-Lac]

Mom sent around a messenger while I was doing a makeup library study session fullstop period stop period end sentence. She's coming and it's probably about the whole duel thing because I might have sent a letter or something saying that I wasn't sure I wasn't going to end up dead because it's a duel and you know how Mordred gets and I'm really trying not to freak out again and you said that if I did that I should try and text you or something instead of picking up a sword and challenging someone to a fight and I just realized this is a really long sentence so I'll stop it now stop fullstop. I Texased Tristian and tried to ask him to plea me off fullstop. But I don't think it'll work fullstop period. Meredith Emrys-Pendragon I don't know what to do fullstop. Help exclamation point question mark

[Meredith Emrys-Pendragon]

Lorelei I didn't see this message until just now and I am literally already here with your mum oh my gods what do you mean you wrote a letter?? How much did you tell her??
There's no escape I'm sorry, I'd tell you to run and save yourself but that's never going to happen, it'll be better if you come and face her TRUST ME

[Lorelei Summer-Lac]

I wrote her and Dad a letter explaining my reasons and that I was going to duel Mordred fullstop. I didn't tell her what Mordred did to you fullstop. I just said that he was being a blaggard fullstop. Which you gotta admit is pretty much true fullstop. And are you sure I can't run and hide question mark? I'm pretty good at running and hiding fullstop.

[Meredith Emrys-Pendragon]

Well... that's kind of true. I don't think she'll be mad at you for standing up to someone, though she might have a problem with how hurt you got if she found out about that. Maybe she really is just here to see everybody.
Either way there's no escape, it'll only make it worse. Gotta summon up your mostly knightly resolve and get over here.

[Lorelei Summer-Lac]

See question mark? She's going to be all you did something stupid Lorelei and then yell at everyone else for letting me because of course she's going to think I gave you guys a choice and then when she finds out I didn't boom, one less Summer at court fullstop. Well, she does love my dad enough that she probably won't kill his only daughter fullstop. But she might disown me fullstop. or worse: send me home exclamation point!

(a few seconds)

Has she done something with the seating question mark? Like, she'll have a space next to her right for Tristian because of course she does, but is the seat to her left open question mark? because that's the Seat of Shame and if there's just that one there I'M GOING TO END UP IN IT exclamation point!

[Meredith Emrys-Pendragon]

she won't disown you! Gwen loves all her children.
She's done a seating plan. It looks like you're sitting on her left. Sorry? But there's two blank spaces to my right which is weird

[Lorelei Summer-Lac]

Great, so she'll just send me home then exclamation point! And if there's two blank spaces after you that means she's expecting someone who isn't family, since family gets the seats of honor nearest to the queen when visiting fullstop. So it's either someone she wants to talk to or someone she's supposed to see whenever she's there fullstop. I guess I should just go get dressed and head there fullstop. She'd find me anyway fullstop. Plus it's not like she can rebreak my wrist, right question mark?

[Meredith Emrys-Pendragon]

I wonder who it could be...
Exactly, so get yourself down here 'cos right now it's only me and Genevieve and I was on time for once!

[Lorelei Summer-Lac]

Kinda hope she didn't invite Mordred fullstop. But you know she would fullstop. and I'm getting dressed fullstop. It takes FOREVER exclamation point! Could you tell Mom I'm going to be late because of the whole wrist thing making dressing hard question mark?

[Meredith Emrys-Pendragon]

Sure I'll let her know

[Lorelei Summer-Lac]

thanks fullstop. and don't worry: I won't let her blame you for this fullstop. we all know it's my fault fullstop.

[Meredith Emrys-Pendragon]

It's not your fault! Don't think like that. You know we've all got your back if she says anything. We stick together, right? We're family, even if we're not technically related in some cases.

[Meredith Emrys-Pendragon]

Knowing Gwen, she probably wants it that way

[Lorelei Summer-Lac]

Please you're so one of us and you know it fullstop. also it's so weird to read you calling Mom Gwen fullstop.

[Meredith Emrys-Pendragon]

Well I know but she's not my mum, I mean, she sort of is I guess, but I don't know, I feel like it might make Merlin feel bad if I started calling her mum? Plus she'd probably think it was weird.
