Mercia was so invested in looking at Gwyn's transformation that she didn't even notice the man next to her speaking to her, promptly causing her to be a little confused and only realize a little bit late that he was talking to her. She turned to face him, a bit curious about what he meant, then gave a tiny gasp as she realized what he meant by... having a problem observing what is going on. "Oh dear, I'm sorry... I hope you aren't made too uncomfortable by all of this. Erm... well, basically, one of us is a half-fae named Gwyn... they're just over there. They have the ability to shapeshift... um, the first time they shapeshifted was into Lucan due to his... behavior." She whispered the last word. "Right now Gwyn's turned into... I don't know her name, but she's Merlin's apprentice. They turned into her just now... the first time they seemed to just have her colors rather than her actual appearance. Gwyn seems to only be able to turn into the physical forms of someone, but retain their own colors..." Mercia's explanation starts to get quieter and quieter as she glances toward Gwyn, hoping she isn't offending.

When Rosanne smiled, Mercia's more polite smile widened just a tad into a more friendly smile. What a beautiful smile, Mercia thought to herself. One that exuded radiance, while also being warm even in the coolest of icy expressions. She calmed herself down to listen to what Rosanne had to say, though trying to have her smile not be as prevalent. She made certain of every detail, and made sure to get some sleep early tonight even though she tended to stay up just a tad bit later than the norm... ...In the midst of Mercia trying to think of any questions, the half-fae transformed. And suddenly Mercia was horrified. Not because of the disrespect, but... Oh no. Oh no. Don't laugh. Don't laugh at him, it's not nice. He wasn't nice to you but it's not nice to laugh back. Don't laugh, Mercia. Don't laugh-- ...And then seeing Rosanne's clear attempt at hiding her laughter caused Mercia to break a little; trying to follow Rosanne's example, she slapped both hands to her mouth in an attempt to hide her own laughter, but her eyes definitely gave away the fact that she was fighting back some laughter. She calmed down slightly at Lucan's response... but Rosanne's own response made Mercia lose it. "P-pffff-hahaha! Even a little lizard like myself can see there's no cure! Hehee!" Mercia calmed herself really quickly, still smiling but now a little more serious than before. However, her mood certainly skyrocketed. "H-hehe... sorry, Lady Rosanne... um, I don't think I have any questions for now, but thank you." Mercia's attention was now both a toss-up between Gwyn and Rosanne; Mercia still paid close attention to Rosanne out of respect and admiration, though occasionally looked at Gwyn in a newfound respect and admiration. However, once Rosanne spoke, she'd turn her head and listen.

Today was the day, Mercia knew in her heart. Today was the day that she would be able to prove her abilities to Queen Rosanne. She had been practicing her light magic for this very day; while usually she tended to slack off a little and just let herself grow rusty, only using her talents when she absolutely needed to. But not now. Now that she was going to show Queen Rosanne her worth and show her the worthiness of the proud Dragonborn in action, she made sure to practice as much as she possibly could. And now, being called to this meeting, in the very room where the famous Knights of the Round met, as Mercia wondered if she shared the same seat with Alexander, the great Dragonborn who she hoped to follow in the steps of... she awaited Queen Rosanne, looking very forward to her arrival. Mercia gives a polite smile in the company of Lucan. She knew he was Rosanne's personal butler, and thus she hoped to make a good impression. Inside her head, she practiced her line. Thank you very much, Lucan. She repeated that line in her head, even having memorized his name to put a good impression. Hoping that he'd talk about her in good favor. ...And then she could definitely tell the change in tone when she was addressed. It wasn't subtle in the slightest. Even if she didn't already know that tone as the 'you're a disgusting lizard' tone, she knew that, from speaking to her and Gwyn... he wasn't exactly someone who she could get friendly with. Normally, she'd make a retort, something along the lines of 'didn't catch your tone, mind repeating that?'. But... this was Queen Rosanne's butler. Someone close to her. "..." For a brief moment, Mercia wondered if she made the right decision. But if Queen Rosanne had the same sentiments, why would she and Gwyn be here in the first place? Lucan must just be a victim of society, believing half-humans were all monsters. Surely Queen Rosanne was giving her this chance so that she could prove to him otherwise. That must be it. Mercia settled down, but she certainly didn't drink any of her tea. Mercia's moments of doubt were evident in that she didn't even notice Rosanne entering the room... but once she began speaking, however, Mercia perked up immensely. She stood up straighter and paid absolute attention. She didn't take her eyes off of Rosanne for even a moment, hoping to show that she was well behaved. Mercia gave a swift nod as Rosanne confirmed Mercia's belief that this would be her opportunity to show Rosanne what she was made of. She patiently awaited the finishing of her next sentence before speaking. "I will not fail you, my queen." Mercia paid attention to every little detail of Rosanne's information, making sure to take every bit into account so that she could absolutely minimize any and all mistakes. If she was going to prove herself, she was going to have to make sure she did not end up flat on the ground... dead. Or just as bad, still alive but shamed for failing her first mission. While she was good with light magic, her combat skills were... admittedly less than satisfactory. She knew she was going to have to put out all the stops... if she even had any of those, to be honest. The mention of Lancelot made Mercia wonder to herself if she could ask about Alexander. She admired Lancelot just like the rest of the Knights of the Round Table, but not as much as Alexander. However, the idea that he may be Cursed was especially intriguing to her... another race downtrodden upon, though potentially even worse so than Dragonborn were... yet he still rose up to the Knights of the Round Table. Mercia hoped that she could learn more from him... Once Rosanne showed confidence in her and asked for her to join, Mercia almost leaped out of her chair, but remained seated, trying to still show some dignity and respect for Rosanne and herself. Once Gwyn finished speaking after Mercia's brief delay, she spoke with a tone of enthusiasm. "I have dedicated my life to your cause from this point on, Lady Rosanne... please allow me to show you what I can do on this mission. I assure you that I will only put forth my best for your sake."

Are you guys breaking into the prison? I assume you are, you don't look like guards who just opened the door. Uh. Hey, I don't know what you're planning, but... If you see a bunch of not-guard looking dudes accompanied by a man with a gray pirate outfit and an axe, uh... don't attack them, okay? They're prisoners who just wanna break out, they won't hurt you... I think, at least!" Before you can respond, you suddenly hear voices inside. "Hey, why's the door open!? Go investigate; we're supposed to be on lockdown!" "But the prisoners are-" "Just go investigate! If it gets to be too much, just retreat and call the side guards!" "Guess that's my cue!
