[ Whichever memories of Gray's Mordred ends up seeing, Gray can at least be assured that she won't come across any worse than Mordred has with this first one. It's true that Gray is used to mages being bad people, but Mordred might be more incorrigible than a majority of them.
Gray is at least familiar with people marrying purely for political or practical reasons, so she understands the logical point behind Mordred trying to take Guinevere for herself. It's the spiteful side of her logic that Gray can't connect with. Thinking of the Husk King, or even the apparition of Arthur she and Mordred saw that time in the fog, Gray can't imagine Arthur emoting such raw emotions as hatred or despair — even though his facesake Mordred has displayed plenty of hatred, and Gray has felt plenty of despair.
There's a lot Gray could say, but she diplomatically keeps it at: ]
I'm glad we aren't enemies.
[ Even though they technically are, according to the letter of the law. ]
