Morgana dresses in Quinn's clothes, "It'll have to do." Quinn couldn't help but roll her eyes at the seemingly picky and rude comment as Morgana sighs. "I feel I've put you in danger without ever stopping to ask how you feel about it. I'm sorry." Quinn laughed lightly, "Please being stuck with Arthur all day is more danger than this. Plus I've been with you since he came along and I know how it feels to face the threat of execution. And I wouldn't wish that on anyone, even if I don't trust them" Quinn shot Mordred a look before there was a knocking at the door, "It's Merlin."
Quinn goes to open the door, Morgana goes to Mordred. "We're going to get you out of Camelot. I won't let anything bad happen to you. I promise." Morgana smiled at the young boy as Merlin walked over, "Are you ready?" Morgana nods.
"Did you get the keys?" Quinn asked her brother as she grabbed the basket of clothes that she brought to hide the little things she had snuck in with it.
"Yeah. Er, the door is behind the shield at the far end of the armoury." Merlin told her with a small nod, "I'll pack you some food and water for the journey. Be careful." Quinn muttered but not because she was scared they would get caught but because she didn't quite trust the boy.

Guards march through the Griffin Landing as Morgana peeks over the edge of the curved stairs and descends with Mordred. A serving girl sees them sneaking off through the corridor at the bottom of the Spiral Stairway. They sneak out through the door behind the shield in the armoury.

Quinn prepares some travel supplies in the small storage room, her and Merlin had discovered while cleaning the castle. "Morgana really cares about the boy. I don't think anyone has ever seen her this way with anyone, even Gwen" Merlin nodded to his sister "I'm sure she just wants to protect him." Quinn nodded back to her brother with a small sigh "Hmm."
———
Arthur walks through the armoury with a guard, "A servant saw someone entering. They had a boy with them." Arthur sees the revealed door and checks his key ring, but the key is missing. "Sound the warning bell." Arthur let out a sigh, he really hoped Quinn wasn't involved in this.
———
Merlin looks out the window as the warning bells sound as Quinn's eyes widened. "Damn" Merlin looked towards his sister, "They're coming." Morgana and Mordred enter.
"There's enough food for three days." Quinn muttered as she eyed the boy who looked back at her. "Your horse is fed and watered. I'll take you to it." Merlin nodded towards them as he started towards the door. "No. There's no point in all of us risking our lives." Morgana looked towards Merlin while Quinn shook her head, "What about you?"
