Arwen didn't knock, she didn't hesitate nor wait, she simply walked right through the door of Morgana's chambers. There she found the Lady standing at her desk, Aredian leaning over her shoulder as he awaited an answer to whatever question he may have asked before Arwen's arrival. But now both their eyes were focused on the furious redhead standing at the door.
"I do believe it's time for you to go, Aredian." Arwen announced in a cold voice, one that didn't quiver or shake as she stood her ground in front of them. "Or the king might have to be notified you've expressed an improper interest in his ward."
Her threats had a smirk spreading over Aredian's lips as he straightened up and stepped away from Morgana, moving towards Arwen now. "Your word against mine? I fear it's not worth much." He pointed out, making the redhead's glare harden even more.
"I wouldn't be so sure if I were you." She returned the pleased smirk, far from rattled by this man. Instead, she was angry, and she was done hiding it. "We all know you have other targets, Aredian. So go on, make your accusations. But I do hope you can support them with evidence." This time it was her faking the innocent tone as she paused for a second. "I wonder where you might find it?" The pointed tone of her voice made it clear there was a hidden meaning to her words, one that made the smirk slip from Aredian's face. "Leave."
"This isn't over." The Witchfinder bit back threateningly.
"But it will be soon enough." Arwen added to his words shamelessly, smirking as the man finally turned away from her and walked through Morgana's door, leaving her to slam it shut before he even took another step away.
"You shouldn't have done that. He'll just get angrier." Morgana scolded her friend in a fearful voice, but it didn't seem to do much to remove the confident look from Arwen's features.
"Let him. Soon enough his claims will mean nothing." She pointed out in a determined voice, the words making Morgana's brows furrow curiously.
"What do you...?"
"Be sure to have someone guarding your chambers. The amulet found in ours? It was planted there by Aredian." Arwen revealed. Knowing Aredian had set his sights on Morgana, she knew that to accuse her he'd have to have some extremely damning proof. Which couldn't be found here. "Don't tell him a word because without it, he has nothing."
"Are you sure about this?" Morgana questioned, some uncertainty lingering in her mind even if she did see Arwen's own confidence.
"More than anything."

Arwen walked back into the physicians' chambers to find Merlin and Guinevere searching through the books which still remained intact, making her send them a curious look. And she didn't have to wait for answers for long before Merlin rushed over to her, holding out something in his hands. "Do you know what this is?"
Taking the plant form his grasp, Arwen began looking it over for a few moments before she was certain of the answer and nodded her head. "Belladonna." She announced simply. The plant wasn't a hard one to recognize.
