MerlinMemoryMonth: Prompt Day 4 | Path II - Farewell(s) 

Um... In case anyone wanted to know (probably no one, but...)

(because yeah... I'm *that* person that apparently needs to know these things... *sheepish*)

Still can’t believe it! What a magical day, 20th February 2020!

After yesterday's matinee I tried to go to the stage door. I wasn’t in any hurry as I didn’t believe neither Colin Morgan nor Roger Allam would come. There were only a few people waiting. I was about 20 metres away when I saw Colin coming out of the door. I started to run, like a fool, but who cares? Colin looked like he was going to give two autographs and immediately return back to the theatre.

My hands were shaking. I was babbling, forgetting all my knowledge of English, looking for a pen in my bag. I was so ashamed - face to face with him, totally clumsy and unable to breathe at all.

I expected that he'd leave and wouldn't waste time with such a clumsy idiot ..... and Colin waited patiently for me to find the pen. He was so kind, relaxed, smiling, even found the right page with his picture in the program and then signed it. Colin does not behave like a megastar. He is extremely friendly and human. He deserves all our praises.

I’m the happiest person in the world today. I have his autograph, a personal photo of me with him and I had an opportunity to talk to him. It was incredible.

I received a great gift, and I want to share the joy with you, the shared joy is always greater. So, dear fans, enjoy his absolute beauty, and kindness in his eyes. Usually I make better photos, but my shaking hands refused to cooperate :-)
