Worry is not a wise counsel. Neither is sticking around, Guinevere.To me, this is the second time our Gwen deliv
seriously annoying cutting off my question. What the last sentence says is: This marks the second time that our Gwen delivered in the foreshadowing of who she will be as Queen. What did you see?
Gwen was just being really supportive and encouraging in this scene. It's exactly what Arthur needed & I love that she knew that.
It is telling that he shares his fears with her. He allows himself to be vulnerable with her, the way one would with someone they trust completely. Although he can't treat her as such, yet, he sees her as his equal. It's a beautiful thing.
She insists on calling him 'sire' as she leaves. The first few times I watched this I thought, she is putting up those walls again; the gulf between them still exists. But lately I have been thinking (hoping) that it was her re-enforcing his status as the leader of Camelot; a position he has earned and is more than capable of living up to.
After this scene I could totally see them, down the road, as king & queen, lying in bed discussing war-time strategy as pillow talk :D
There something about the way he looks at her as well. It's... almost steamy?
I want to say something about her love for the son & the underlying hatred/anger for the father (and how she navigates that) that is briefly alluded to in this scene but I haven't properly formulated those thoughts yet.
So, basically, I have a jumble of opinions. Hopefully you all get at least one coherent statement out of my ramblings, somewhere.

Isn't is just amazing how much we can get out of one and a half minutes? I wish I had mentioned this in my opinion but yes, she was reminding him of who he is. That was most important and this time. His mind has gotten a bit distracted by her, but she was putting it back where it needed to be at that time. She knew their time was coming. Her "sire" was a reminder of what needed to be dealt with then and his position in that. I'm sure she'll be calling him something quite difference when the time is right. {wink}
Okay, am going to take on what you said entirely Zoe, but rest assured...the steam was off the cuff. Cause he asked her a qusetion and you will note she got her ass out of Dodge right quick. Believe me, she registered what they were both feeling in that moment. Cause that boy was sending all kinds of mating messages.
Now to it. Yes, like you, it took me some time, Zoe to register the difference in how she said SIRE. It was deference for position, not the wall. Yeah, I had to watch that scene several times to stop intuiting which she meant and I would tend to agree with you.
This is one of my FAVORITE, FAVORITE scenes of all. My word, it is so intimate, sensual and mesmeric. Anybody who says these guys don't have chemistry needs their head examined. Did you see how fast she got out of there? He was about to be totally distracted from the task at hand. Wise girl. And wise words. I wrote all this on my tumblr. I saw a queen encouraging her husband the king as he was about to embark on one of his most dangerous and important missions on behalf of the kingdom. I loved it, loved it, loved it. What she said and all the rest. Only these two could make caressing a hand and a look so courtly yet steamy at the same time. I know your question was mainly about the foreshadowing but I get excited about this scene. It might be my favorite so forgive me. YES. We were definitely seeing the foreshadowing of who she would become.

Beautifully described, it was intimate. It was trusting. It was sensual. Oh I saw how fast she moved. She was feeling it too. One of them had to keep on track lol. Well said, Nanna and this is one of my top 3 scenes that they have shared.
