The fault is my own. I accepted a role where I must lead soldiers, must fight a battle. It is no surprise you suspected me of enacting a plan to stop any escape. Every death will be a weight I carry. I am aware of this. I have no desire to be remembered as bloodthirsty or merciless.

[showmeyourwreath]

It isn't. [But they'll just go on with the blame and sorry olympics, so she proceeds.

She should have known better from the start, but hearing him say that is reassuring.]

Well...lets see what we can do about lessening the burden, then. [Her hands, still in his, glow for a moment and he'll feel the warmth and lightness of her magic before a map appears above their hands. She smiles lightly.]

I'll need my hands back for a moment.

[knightscode]

[ He flushes a little, lets go of her hands with an apologetic smile. ]

Thank you. Any help is welcome.

[ Lancelot's eyes finally lift to the map, equal part curious and in awe of it. Magic always does that to him, he could never find it mundane. ]

[showmeyourwreath]

[She smiles back at him to show that there is no harm done. In fact, she's been comforted by his touch.]

Markings will show if you touch the map. Here. So, there needs to be defense for Caer Glaem...[Flora draws a circle with her finger, and a dark one forms on the map.] you'd also like for the forests to be more difficult to traverse [She draws a line this time, at the border of the wood.] And you suspect a great deal of battle might happen around Nimh Gleanne? [She draws an 'x' there.]

[knightscode]

[ Lancelot nods agreement studying the map, then finally lifts a hand to gesture at the Great Greenwood. Where they are. He frowns, drops his hand and glances back out into it. ]

The forest here is... alive. Can you feel it? Not only alive as any trees and flowers should be, but... it has a presence.

[ He looks back up, studies Flora. ]

I wonder if it might be negotiated with. If we can help it we should not hinder our own, if we could find a way to make it recognise intruders... those who wish us harm.

[showmeyourwreath]

Most trees and flowers have more presence than people realise, but yes, the Greenwood is particularly special. I can feel it. I will see what I can do, especially for the sake of the dryads that live here.

[knightscode]

Thank you. I will not forget this kindness, Lady Flora.

[ He frowns, earnest and concerned all at once. ]

Do only what you can. I know you must have your own duties and affairs to attend to.
