As Arthur approaches the stranger he hears a voice from outside that laughs and says " Arthur do you not have a welcome for your sister and your "nephew".) With sinking heart Arthur realises who it is visiting so unexpectedly. Morgause explains that she is not stopping, but has brought Mordred to introduce him to Arthur, in the hope that he can be given a place in Arthurs court, and learn to be a knight. Arthur leads Mordred towards the lighted hall to introduce him to the rest of his companions, visibly debating with himself. There is no obstensible reason why Mordred should not be at court but he remembers that Merlin had warned this young man would be his nemesis, and bring about the down fall of both Arthur and his kingdom. Mordred is obviously also thinking his own thoughts, and Morgause cannot resist the temptation as she leaves to turn and say to herself "you will live to regret this day Arthur).
