I've been wondering, Scorched.

[ Arthur has been training since before the sun rose: it's visible in the flush across the bridge of his nose, the way his blond bangs are sticking dark to his temples, the slouch of his usually straight-backed posture. But he needs a break, a distraction from his own mind, from the questions that have been plaguing it without concrete answer. ]

Say that the Door started — temporarily — working the way that all doors should, and we could all trip merrily back to our own worlds.

[ A breath, considering whether he's really going to ask. Despite his slightly laconic tone, he knows how depressing some of the answers he'll get will be. But he still wants to know: ]

Would you stay here in Anatole?

Or would you go home?

I'd like to say yes, but it seems unlikely. Is it a risk you'd be willing to take?

I do not think I would, given what is known of such things. I do think it is unlikely that we will be able to recall it.

Whether my time in Camelot was merely a dream or a true return, I can say from my own experience that I remembered nothing of Anatole while there.

I have never heard of anyone who altered their actions as a result of having been in Anatole. Have you ever had word of such a thing happening?

Never.

I suppose it is naive to think that there is to be a first time for everything.

Optimistic, perhaps. There have been many first times in Anatole. I would not abandon all hope, but I would not carry an expectation.
