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?

Do you exist in her Camelot? Have you ever existed?

I don't feel that anyone still living in their world has a rightful place here. Which isn't to say they shouldn't be allowed to spend time here if they've already found themselves abducted. Remaining here, however? It seems a bit unfair to me, a bit selfish...and while I am all for doing things for oneself, there does come a time when we must be men and women and not children, yes?

[Tyrion's shoulders rise and fall in a shrug.]

Mine is but one opinion among many, however. You did ask, and so I am answering.

I would return for certain...but I would want to leave only when I was ready, and on my terms.

Not me as I am now, perhaps, but... a version of me. I've seen people leave this place and return with no memories of their time here, sometimes with wholly different experiences to the people I knew before.

[ Arthur pulls a face. ]

It hurts my head to think about, really. I'm here for the foreseeable future, as are you, and I doubt either of us will have a choice as to when that stops being true.
