Rose raised an eyebrow as Rosalia attack Colby. She was a little surprised by that reaction, but she couldn't quite blame her. She however was not surprised with Cass's reaction to Matthew. He had given Layla a nasty look.

She watched as the Lady of the Lake spoke with Megan. Pang of jealousy aside for the cool sword. Rose wouldn't have wanted the responsibility of carrying such a heavy legacy. She wondered what sort of legacy her mother carried in this world. What would she have to live up to now? Merlin's look didn't reassure her about her mother. It was a reminder that she was so close to knowing her and might have her ripped away from her before she could.

"We can have infighting after we rescue my mom." She said glancing at Colby and Rosalia, then at Cass and Matthew. "Please." She said the last part mostly to Cass, but loud enough that everyone else could hear it.

Colby hated the water. He hated that Rosalia thought she could get away with pushing him into the water and kicking him. At least the cats had still been on Matthew's shoulders and not his own. In one way Colby was not like a cat he could hold a grudge. He could hold one for a long time. He said nothing to the girl as he left the water and tried to dry off by grabbing the loose fabric and squeezing it. If anger expressed by actual heat he would have been dry in seconds.

Colby walked back over to Matthew. He wasn't one to back down from a fight, but he also preferred knowing he had the upper hand. There were too many people in this group that hated him for his actions. That was fair, he had done something that had risked them all. "None of the rest of you were hurt. The skeletons were easy enough to dispatch. We got out of there. Get over it." He said, then looked at Rose who was asking for the group to get over their squabble. He rolled his eyes a little and shrugged. "Whatever." Rose glared at him.

"What direction to my mother and the others?"

So many things were happening at once, too many stimuli to take in. Matthew closed his eyes for a moment as he tried to compartmentalize the events transpiring before him. His eyes were hot with rage yet they threatened to pour over in scolding tears as he hated confrontation and people yelling. When he finally opened his eyes he looked back at Cassiopea. "Its not like he knew it would summon the undead! Honestly this probably would've been avoided if Merlin wasn't always so cryptic! Its never a straight answer with him and the vague unknown is a dangerous place to leave a bunch of kids who don't know anything about the land they just entered! Sure he didn't head the warning ut why should he? He was never given a real reason not to! No sense of urgency or threat just a vague description that the dead don't like to be disturbed. Well you know who else doesn't like to be disturbed? Me!"

Matthew stormed off towards the lakes edge, meeting up with a soaking Colby who was exiting the banks and ringing his clothes. "You look a mess, here let me help you out." Matthew had his back turned to all the others, gripping some of the fabrics and helping him rid the clothing of water. His eyes were downcast until he finally worked up thr courage to look at his friend. Matthews eyes were Watery, threatening to expose his emotions to the others. He sniffled his nose as he reached up to wipe away the tears. "I'm sure we can find some clothes over in Camelot, try and see if we can't get you dry before you catch a cold." Colby and Rose were right, what had happened happened and the rest needed to let it go if they were ever to move forward.

Cassiopeia rolled her eyes at Colby’s speech. ”Ya, we’ll get it over it but we may never trust you since you’d rather do something to figure out what it does, rather than heed Merlin’s warning to not touch,” she noted, shaking her head. Cassiopeia didn’t have an issue with Colby, if he wanted to go and push things off the table like a cat then he could do so but as soon as it involved putting other people in danger or potential danger, then Cassiopeia had a problem.
Matthew then exploded and Cassiopeia stared at him, blinking silently. She was shocked to say the least and a bit annoyed with his words, frowning even as he snapped at them about not liking to be disturbed. He started to walk away when Rose asked them to move on, she looked directly at Cassiopeia and begged her gently to let it go. Cassiopeia looked at Matthew’s retreating figure and shook her head. There was much she could have said to Matthew but it was Rose after all. ”Don’t blame others for his actions Matt and if you don’t want to be disturbed, don’t come at my sister again and we’ll get along just fine,” she stated. If the kid didn’t like confrontation, don’t start it.
Cassiopeia turned her attention to Rose. ”Alright, you are right. Let’s get going,” she agreed and looked to Merlin to lead the way for them.

The situation between Rosalia and Colby didn’t seem to escalate, he walked over to Matthew, dripping with the water and then Matthew started yelling. Willow’s eyes widened again. She had spoken with Matthew earlier; he didn’t seem like the explosive type. He had been timid and shy; Willow didn’t realize such a thing could hide an angrier side. Clearly there was more to Matthew’s mental state than he let on.
As Matthew tended to Colby, Willow listened to the Lady of the Lake speak to Megan. She found it interesting that this sword might come with a following but she wasn’t surprised it held power. It was Excalibur after all and mostly everyone knew that fairytale. Willow just wondered now how much of it was true. ”It is beautiful Willow noted, do you know how to use a sword?” Willow asked Megan curiously. Willow had no experience with weapons beyond her own hands. She only picked daggers to carry because they were light and seemed easy enough to use.

"Get over it? Well how about next time I'll just push you off a cliff and we'll see what happens then if that is your solution to everything. Since by your logic if say, I didn't know what would likely happen, I could just do it since it doesn't hurt me or anyone I actually care about, so how about you shut your mouth and stop trying to act like you know what the hell you are doing. Oh, and I laugh at the fact that you're taller then me, and I managed to shove you into the lake," she snapped at Colby, clearly not going to let it go, oh she was definitely going to find a way to get revenge on him later, yup she most definitely was.

"Calm down Meg, I know that," he said with a slight laugh towards her before he rolled his eyes slightly at Isabella, "Why did you pick that character? Never really cared much for him, though I guess it depends on which Captain Britain you are referring to, since the original Captain Britain well was just eh to me," he said towards her. His attention then turned to the commotion that seemed to be surrounding two of the younger members of their group. This was not going to end well.

"Not sure that is going to end well," he muttered under his breath, before looking over at Merlin and the others now as they spoke about what to do now. "Not that I'm against that sort of idea, but exactly how are we supposed to do that? Even if what the Lady of the Lake was saying about Excalibur is true, that will only get us so far, since we'd kind of end up against a lot of people still, and there are not that many of us," he couldn't help but point out. Since from what he knew, there was a lot of people fighting against them. So what were they supposed to do?

Rosalia turned her attention towards the puppy who was trotting over towards her and dropping the bone, she leaned down and picked it up, but not standing up straight until she said, "You have permission to bite those two idiots whenever you want since they clearly don't care about people, okay?" she said gently to the puppy before she tossed the bone slightly a few feet away so that he could go chase after it. She loved animals and was glad that the group was able to take the little puppy along with her. "I say we send in the idiot first and see if he can manage to not get himself or anyone else killed!" she said, raising her voice so the others could hear her and she was clearly referring to Colby.

Merlin stared at Matthew for a moment as he snapped at just about everyone including him, but he didnt really make any expression at the moment just shaking his head slightly. Sure he had been pretty cryptic about a lot of things, but it was kind of obvious if you ever entered the catacombs filled with the dead you just dont mess with the dead at all. "Well we are going to go and break some people out of prison, there are still rebels within the city itself." Merlin told Jack as he looked at everyone else in the group, they wont be going through the catacombs again which was good. "Lets get going." Merlin said, as Tinker came over towards Colby and Mathew gently patting the two of them on the shoulder. "Lets get going." Tinker said towards them.

"Thats what came to mind." Isabella said towards Jack, before turning around and starting to follow shortly behind Merlin while looking over at Megan for a moment as she held the sword in her hands. Lucky looked up at Rosalia and then quickly chased after the bone while barking playfully and trotted back over towards her. Taylor started to follow Merlin as well now as well back over towards the woods where there would be a small trail.

"Oh dont worry i'm done talking about Colby Cheese, if he wants to do something stupid like that again i'm not going to save him." Layla said shrugging slightly while looking at her sister and Rose. She watched as the others started to turn and make their way towards the treeline, a prison break sounded like it was a bit of fun. Sierra gently rested a hand on Willow's shoulder and smiled at her for a moment. "I'm pretty sure that she's great with a sword." Sierra said, as she stared at Excalibur some more, the sword looked really interesting in person, she had always thought it was a myth. She never had thought that any of this was actually real. "Lets get going." Sierra said as she quickly went to join the others in the woods, eventually making her way onto a trail.

Matthew tensed for a moment as Cassiopea had told him not to blame others for his mistakes. His hands had stopped mid wring on Colbys clothing, the water now only droplets that slowly followed the crevices of his hand and dripped onto the ground beneath them. He didn't respond to her, or anyone for that matter. Not wanting this fight to drag on any longer than it already had, and to help save anothers parents in time, Matthew continued to finish off what he was doing before Cass had spoken. His eyes matched Colbys with a certain sadness and intensity. Words spoken low and soft so only the boy with a Cheshire grin could hear him. "Dont give them you're time. We don't have much of it left and need to spend it saving someone rather than mindless bickering.: There was a long pause as if he was thinking of whether or not his next thought should stay hidden away in his mind or spoken out for his friend to hear.

Matthew ofcourse chose the former, not wanting any further confrontation and feeling as though the words wouldn't want to come out in the first place. Dispite the cooler air given off by a lake in a forest, his cheeks were still warm and flushed and his eyes hot from the tears of anger, anxiety, and loss that filled him not moments prior. All that was left in him was a small gasp that found its way out as Tink startled him with her touch. He nodded to her and followed, keeping his pace slow so that he was in the back of thr group, not wanting any prying eyes to follow him or stray arrows and knives to find their way to his person.

"Thank you." Rose said quietly to Cass when she let the situation drop.

Thankfully they were on their way with Merlin's words. Rose understood the delay and the desire to push Colby into the lake, but she needed to get moving to the city. She had no idea what it would take to free her mother. Rose doubted just walking into the city and announcing that the true heir was here and to release Little Red Riding Hood from the jail if you please would work.

"What can we expect in the city?" She asked Merlin. Rose agreed that Merlin had been frustratingly vague, but she had spent the least amount of time around him she thought. Only the brief meeting at the park and then the rescue in the woods. She however liked having a plan. Rose was capable of winging it, but it was better to have a plan in her opinion.

"I don't want you to save me." Colby said toward Layla, but more directed at the group as a whole. Colby was frustrated. Even with Matthew's words, he was ready to throw punches. He had firmly decided he hated the rest of the group of kids taken from Arcadia. All of them were snobs and jerks.

He only pulled away slightly when Tink had touched his shoulder. Colby kept pace with Matthew in the back of the group. Glaring at the backs of the others. He remembered why he preferred the company of cats over people. Cats were easier to understand. Their body language gave away so much once you knew how to read it. And now that they were walking again he tapped his shoulder and Jack jumped nimbly from Matthew's shoulder to Colby's.

Megan hadn't really formed an opinion on whether or not she was annoyed by Colby - until he told everyone to get over it. She raised a slight eyebrow and decided that his mannerisms were distasteful. She loved the strange and unusual, the macabre and the mysterious - but she didn't have a similar fondness for rudeness. He had caused the situation and now he was acting flabbergasted that the others were not pleased, cruelly telling them that they were overreacting. Megan didn't voice these thoughts however. She didn't feel a need to waste breathe on the matter - especially when the boy with wild hair had seemingly appointed himself as Colby's emotional guardian.

"Yes, I do," she answered Willow. "I trained with a foil," she added, referencing her love for fencing. Excalibur was a different sort of sword, but many of the principles were the same and carried over. She had the rapier and excalibur now, with the skull settled in her bag. She wasn't about to abandon her prize. "Here - you may need to be better armed," she said, handing the rapier to her brother. She didn't know if the others could handle a sword, but she imagined that Jack might have picked up some tricks from attending her fencing matches.

Cassiopeia started walking away with her sister and Rose, still a little annoyed with the two they shared a last meal within the real world but Cassiopeia wasn’t going to let herself hold onto that. In high stress situations, one generally figured out what kind of person they were as well as the kind of person others were. She surely wasn’t going to trust Colby or Matthew with her life or the lives of others, like Rose’s mom who they would hopefully be saving soon.
Cassiopeia turned her attention back to Rose and Merlin, awaiting answers on what the outlay of the city they were about to enter would be. Hopefully, they would be able to find a high vantage point so they could take out guards if the area were heavily guarded. Cassiopeia’s mind in these situations worked very much like a hunters. It still made her uncomfortable though that she was thinking this way about people, rather than animals.

It did seem Megan could weild the sword, having mentioned she had done fencing. ”It is beautiful,” she complimented before Megan returned to her brother and Willow returned to Sierra. She followed the girl as they headed out after Merlin. Willow was looking forward to seeing the city and what these old kingdoms truly looked like.
She glanced behind her as they walked, watching Matthew and Colby taking up the rear with Tinker Bell. Willow noted Colby glaring at them all and she frowned. She didn’t understand why he was so upset with them for simply speaking their mind and fears.

Jack listened to what it is that Merlin said about what the plan was, and he was glad that Merlin wasn't just hiding things from them and admitted what the plan was. It at least brought some comfort, but he also knew that this was likely going to be a horrible idea and based on their luck (and the guy who seemed more interested in poking everything and trying to kill everyone it felt like) things were going to end badly. How were they supposed to stop an execution, when in reality they probably were just going to get themselves killed or something like that? This wasn't going to end well.

He turned to look at Megan when she handed him the rapier and he shrugged, taking the sword from her, "Yup, this is most definitely better then nothing. And considering I still don't think this is going to end well at all, might as well try to do some damage before there is a chance we all die," he said with a slight laugh, before he saw that everyone was starting to head off after Merlin. He shrugged slightly towards his sister, before he headed off after the others to hopefully get to their destination quickly.

Rosalia smiled at the puppy as he came back trotting over to her, and she picked him up in her arms once again, and settled him in her bag once more, letting the little dog keep the bone in his mouth. "I'll play with you again in a little bit okay? We just have to keep going, and I don't want you to get hurt. We'll play some more fetch later," she said, patting the little dog on the head as she glanced towards everyone else and heard what Merlin was saying the plan was for them, aside from the obvious thing of just stop the execution.

The plan sounded alright to her, get allies to try and stop it and maybe over throw the tyrant or whatever in the meantime. Seemed simply enough, though she at the moment was choosing to ignore the idiot and his boyfriend or whatever since if she was lucky they both would end up dead during this entire thing, and then they wouldn't have to deal with them anymore. Oh that would definitely be nice, since she wouldn't have to deal with someone's clear stupidity and whatnot. Yeah sure, she didn't really care about anyone else really here (except maybe Taylor) and she didn't try to hide it. But she was smart enough to not risk the lives of everyone else just because she was curious about something. Seeing everyone else starting to walk along, she followed along after them, figuring they might as well get this over with.

"The city is surrounded by guards on the walls as well as checkpoints to get into the city as well. They will ask what our purpose in the city is, we stay together and dont do anything that draws attention towards us. When they question you, just answer that we are visiting some family for a wedding within the city." Merlin answered Rose as he looked over towards her. "There is an inn where we will find some allies operating in there." He also answered her, as they continued to walk down the road Isabella watched as Megan handed her rapier over towards Jack. She always saw rapiers in movies and TV shows as flimsy little point sticks that didnt do much damage at all, as she shook her head slightly.

Layla would occasionally look over her shoulder at Mathew and Colby in her opinion the two of them were the least experienced and could get themselves or others killed as well. But she didnt say anything and just wanted to drop the subject all together as well to whats done was done now anyway as well to. She listened to Merlin and nodded slightly sounded like a good plan as long as no one screwed anything up at all either. Taylor would reach out and gently pet Lucky who had decided to drop the bone inside of the bag and would lick Taylor's hand as well as Rosalia's.

Sierra decided to take a few steps back and started to walk alongside Colby and Mathew she felt a little bit bad about the others attacking the two of them. "Are you two okay?" Sierra asked both Colby and Matthew as they walked seeing a sign that spelled out Camelot they were getting closer now as she noticed some other travelers as well. As they got closer towards the city she noticed the rather large walls and towers as well as some soldiers just outside of the gates. They would occasionally stop a few travelers, those with stage coaches or wagons carrying supplies the soliders went to inspect what was in them.

Matthew kept his pace slow and behind the others, leaning his hand up to scratch Carroll under their chin and feeling the comforting purrs against his neck and shoulder. He would love to say that he didn't need the others to like him, he'd love to say he didn't care for how they felt, but he couldn't. In the end of the day they were all trapped in a new world full of wonder and danger and they needed to learn to work together. More importantly they would have to move past minor issues and comunicate better. Having the party split apart so early on could lead to their downfall and the inevitability of Maleficents total reign. Matthew really didn't want that to happen, and so he trudged on, silently behind the group not daring to speak up unless spoken to and if the remark was rude or unneeded then he wouldn't respond to them at all. They needed to grow up and move on.

When Sierra began to slow her pace Matthew could feel the tension coming. She clearly wanted to speak her mind or say something to them and she was going to match them to do it. What came out however wasn't what he anticipated. Concern. Matthew looked ahead, trying not to show any emotion towards recent events as he answered her question. 'Are you two ok?' A question that would bring anyone on the verge to tears had they been holding it in. Luckily Matthew had already let his go earlier with Colby. "I'm fine. I wasn't the one pushed inside of a Lake full of who knows what. I just want to help save her parents and then move on with our mission." Throwing someone in a potentially enchanted lake was a dangerous thing to do, but it was done and nothing more could change that.

”In town for a wedding,” Cassiopeia stated and shrugged. ”Seems simple enough.” She continued to walk with her sister and Rose, listening to Merlin and the description of the city. It sounded like most of the types of kingdoms that were described in books or portrayed in the movies.
They neared the city and Cassiopeia spotted the sign and the walls, announcing that they were nearing Camelot at last. Cassiopeia could see faint torch light and tried to shake off the jitters that came with stepping into unknown territory. She hoped they would be able to find Rose’s mom quickly and save her before she was killed.

Willow watched Sierra fall back to walk with Matthew and Colby but kept her pace. She watched the reaction of Sierra’s question from Matthew and was sad that he kept himself guarded, even with her. Sierra was simply trying to extend a kind word and give them another ally to lean on. Willow didn’t fall back to speak with them too though, she didn’t want to crowd them or cause a problem. She continued to walk just ahead of them though, glancing back ever so often.
When Willow looked ahead again though, she saw the sign to Camelot and then the walls that protected the city and the castle. Willow’s eyes widened as she took in the sight. This was all really happening and they were truly here in Camelot. It amazed Willow that something she had read and played pretend about could actually be real. That her mother was a princess, or rather a Queen and she the princess.

"You do know which end is the one you strike with, yes?" she asked her brother seriously, a slight smile tugging at the corners of her lips. Merlin gave the group alibi, indicating that they were pretending to be wedding guests. She had to wonder if wedding guests in Camelot typically carried swords around. She supposed that it probably wouldn't be too unusual, as this place was all about knights and whatnot. Their entire government was based on whoever a woman in a lake gave a sword to as well. She still didn't believe that birth rights were such a thing and she didn't have any intention on 'ruling' Camelot. She would help to raid the city of its oppressors, but then they could have a democracy or something or whatever the people wanted. She was a medical examiner, not a politician.

They were rather close to Camelot now - she could see the walls up ahead. Caravans of people were attempting to enter, with some of them being searched by guards. She frowned ever so slightly. She doubted that the guards would be thrilled to see excalibur, as she assumed that they would be allied with Morgana and Maleficent. And even if excalibur wasn't an issue, they had on them a lot of possessions from their world. If someone had an iPhone with them, how would the guards react to what would appear to be alien tech?

"Okay, believe it or not I am not that dumb, I know exactly which end tyou stab people with!" he said, before giving her a bit of a grin as he flipped the sword around on purpose and poked her with the hilt, "It's this end right?" he joked, before he flipped the sword around so he had it by the hilt properly again. It was a little nice to just be able to crack jokes like that given they had no idea what was waiting for them in the rest of Camelot.

Rosalia was more of just focusing on what it was that Merlin was saying, deciding that it was probably good for her sanity to ignore everyone else who was with them. Except for the dog and Taylor, the puppy was hers and Taylor seemed to have more common sense then everyone else did, so that was something. Though she hadn't really talked much with everyone else either, so who knew how the others were, and she didn't very much care.

After joking a bit revolving around the rapier and how he did know in theory how to use it, Jack turned his attention towards Merlin and began listening to what exactly the plan was, and what they would respond with if asked. He wasn't too sure how weddings were in this world, but he was a bit more concerned with the idea of how the others were with lying. He was a pretty good liar when the need arose, but he wasn't too sure about everyone else. "Sounds like a plan to me," he responded simply.

She thought their excuse slash lie was a bit strange and far fetched. There was no way they could pull this off without raising some suspicion. To start off with in her opinion they didn't even look like they were heading to a wedding, but she figured who knew what a wedding was like in Csmelot, "Alright, fine with me..." was what she responded with as she patted the puppy on the head.

Rose nodded at Merlin's plan. It was good enough. Hopefully, there was a wedding and the guards didn't ask who was getting married. She figured she'd let Merlin talk if they got asked where they were going anyway. But it would be good to know who they were supposed to be going to get married. Not often did people go to weddings of people they didn't know. Rose figured she could say she was coming into town to visit some family and not be lying. Her mother was in that town.

She shoved the book into her bag. She didn't want any guardsmen asking about the book. It did cover her strange jacket and belongings, like her phone, that was a bonus. It didn't keep her bag from being searched through. Rose's stomach twisted. Her mother needed her to make it in there. "Seems solid enough of a plan, if there happens to be a wedding coming up, and we can give the names of the bride or groom if asked." Rose said to Merlin. She didn't want to poke all the holes in his plan, but better her than a guard with a sword and a strong desire to kill rebel children from another world.

Colby arched an eyebrow at Sierra. She had seemed just as pissed as the others. He gave a shrug and touched Matthew's hand gently to let him know he really was okay. Colby didn't care what any of the others thought of him, but he knew Matthew was a pile of anxious nerves. "Thanks, but I'm good." He said trying very hard to keep the sarcasm out of his voice that he felt belonged there.

He couldn't help himself though to look at Camelot with wide-eyed wonder. He really was still a kid. Easily one of the younger, if not the youngest of the group. Colby had never been outside Wichita in his whole life, minus what he had lived here before his exile. He didn't remember any of that time though. It was a true medieval city with parapets and guardsmen, all probably lackeys of Maleficent.

"Well if you two want to talk about anything feel free to come over and chat." Sierra said towards both Colby and Matthew, though she was still a little bit annoyed with both of their actions in the catacombs, Matt ended up getting hurt after all as well. But she didnt show that she was annoyed at all by either of them. She watched as some of the guards took a few people off to the side and question them why they were coming to the city. The plan was pretty simple enough and hoped that they didnt ask for any names either as they got closer towards the gates.

"State your business being here." One of the guards approached Merlin as the name stopped looking over at the others for a moment before turning his attention back towards the guards. "We are family, my granddaughter is getting married here in a few days, and seeking passage." He told them, as Layla stood by her sister and Rose a little bit more, her hand gently resting where her throwing knives would be while looking at the others.

Isabella rolled her eyes slightly as she looked between Megan and Jack as the two of them teased each other, her attention turned towards the guards as they asked Merlin what his business was. She watched the guard going over towards one of the others who appeared to be a leader of sorts. He nodded slightly as the guard who asked went off to go and question some others, Taylor leaned in slightly towards Rosalia to whisper towards her. "This feels like the long lines at the TSA in an airport." She said Lucky had eventually fallen asleep in the bag of sorts, the guard then waved the group through. "You are free to enter, enjoy your time in Camelot." He said, as Merlin nodded giving a slight smile before continuing towards the gates.

Just inside of the gates there was a bazaar of sorts, there were people selling all sorts of goods, as Layla spotted what looked to be some sort of blacksmith selling a few wares that were on display. Sierra noticed some clothes being sold, she was tempted to go and buy something but she didnt have any kind of money. "Follow me, we are to far." Merlin said as he walked down the street.

Matthew's heart began to rush as his cheeks started to flush. He felt Colbys hand touch his once more and it sent him soaring. All the negative emotions that had piled up within him simply melted away to reveal a swarm of butterflies fluttering about his stomach. He knew now that Colby was truly alright, but was even more glad to have this small gift. When his hand left his Matthew found himself curling his fingers ever so gently, as if replying a scene from pride and prejudice in which he was Mr. Darcy and Colby Elizabeth. The moment lasted for a while, him nodding in affirmation to what ever it was that Sierra had said, and only leaving him when they stumbled upon the cities guards. His attention pulled back, and he recalled why it is they were there.

The wait was tense, it reminded him of the pause parents took when looking at him, deciding if he was the right fit for their missing part. In this instance he hoped that the answer was yes, unlike every moment before. It wasn't until they were all waved through that Matthew was able to relax. His eyes going wide at the sight of Camelot, loving thr sensation of being in the Camelot. Though he was certain if he ever spoke of this in Kansas that he would be seen as if he was Mad as a Hatter. His attention was pulled in various ways, from the billowing smoke of a blacksmiths hearth, to the woven goods and clothing out on display, and the bustle of the people within the walls. Everything was remarkable and he wished he could spend more time within these walls instead of being rushed by a wizard. Matthew had thought on stealing some clothes for Colby, something dry for him, but he didn't want to ruin the chance to save people if he was caught. So he followed behind, quiet but watching.

Cassiopeia was glad that they were allowed through the gate so simply. It seemed strange to her, being such a large group as they were. Merlin had called them all family, they were the strangest looking family Cassiopeia had ever seen but the guards didn’t even question it. Cassiopeia wondered if something bigger was going on to concern the guards, like the hanging or if Merlin had casted some spell.
On the other side of the gate there was a market that was in full swing. Cassiopeia noted the blacksmith but she also saw a few vendors selling hides and meat. She examined the hides, seeing if they had similar creatures or different ones. Cassiopeia could smell meat cooking and her mouth started to water.
”I would love something to eat,” Cassiopeia whispered to her sister.

Sierra rejoined Willow just before they reached the gate but it didn’t see Matthew nor Colby wanted to talk to her. Willow could understand their aversion but they didn’t have many friends now because of what happened. She thought they would accept a kind word but perhaps it was too soon. Regardless, they reached the gate and we promptly admitted through. Willow smiled kindly at the guards as they passed and then her eyes widened at the market before them.
Willow had gone to a few farmer’s markets with her mother before but she had never seen anything like this. It seemed more colourful here with a lot more commotion and talking. Willow’s eyes wandered towards the jewellery which was not too surprising but she did try to look at the other things as they passed as well.

Megan rolled her eyes in amusement as her brother poked her with the wrong end of the rapier. At least his joke confirmed to her that he did know what he was doing, at least in terms of the most basic idea - to use the pointy end to attack with. She kept her face neutral though as the guard asked Merlin questions. The security seemed to be rather lax, as they didn't even ask for papers or.... Well, Megan supposed they likely didn't have an ID system in Camelot. And as for the weapons they were carrying, those weren't really out of the ordinary. They looked like everyone else here, even though they were strangers in a strange land.

It was an odd sensation as she walked into Camelot. Logically, she knew that she must have been born here. Her earliest memories were of this place. She expected to have some sort of overwhelming emotion, some physical reaction to being here but... she didn't feel anything. She just felt out of place. She had never been ordinary by the standards of their world, she had never quite fit in and now, she had a similar sense here in Camelot. It didn't feel to her like home - there was no instant sensation of belonging.

She wished that she had the time to contemplate and process these feelings, but they had to keep moving.
