Note to Sophie: So I went with your backpacking AU theme and ran with it...this turned into a triple drabble and well, it's not perfect, but hope you enjoy! :D
The streets of Athens were a jumbled maze, and Gwen did not know the Greek alphabet well enough to match the street signs to the names on her English language map. She was almost sure she had already covered this block, and still, she could not find the city bus that would take her to the intercity buses. She was hot and a nasty blister festered under her big toe. Everyone stared at her. She stuck out here, clearly a foreigner.
I will not cry, I will NOT.
“Gwen?”
Gwen looked up in surprise to see Morgana, a big sun hat shielding her face.
Morgana, who had shielded her in Prague, but who had flitted away to Italy with a promise that they would meet again.
Gwen hadn’t believed it. She had been heart-broken that she had not been invited. She had spent the whole next day in her bunkbed, unable to even sob because there were so many others sharing the same hostel room.
“Are you lost?”
“How did you know?”
Morgana nodded toward Gwen’s map.
“Oh.” Gwen felt her cheeks heat.
“I told you we would meet again. Where are you going?”
“I thought I might go to Nafplion. Palamedi Castle.” She shrugged, trying not to babble. “It’s supposed to have a brilliant view.”
Morgana’s smile was dazzling. “Let’s go then.”
“What about Merlin and Will?” Gwen asked, barely breathing.
“They’re in Italy. And I found this among my stuff.” Morgana dug in her jeans pocket. “This is yours, I believe.”
Gwen took the wrinkled piece of paper. Her hands shook as she unfolded it. It was a list of cities that she wanted to visit, an informal itinerary.
“I hope you don’t mind that I followed you.”
“Not at all.” Gwen’s heart soared higher than the Acropolis.
