The Salle, Monday Morning

May 25, 2009 09:21

Between making Merlin move his stuff back into the dorms and picking up Brynmor from the 'pet shop', Arthur still managed to find himself in the salle at his usual time. He'd invited Zack to show up, after all, and if even half of the usual crowd showed up he'd have plenty of distraction for the morning ( Read more... )

Elspeth arrived at the salle and after a few warm-ups, set to work attacking a dummy with a practice sword.

"Lady Elspeth," Arthur called, once he'd noticed her. Mostly for the sake of politeness. "Good morning."

"Good morning, Prince Arthur," Elspeth said. She paused in her exercises. "Interested in a spar today?"

"I've already made arrangements for the day," he said, which was actually true, and not just a good excuse to get out of fighting a girl (which it wasn't, all right?). "Maybe later this week."

Elspeth nodded. "Any time you like."

"I'm sure we'll meet each other in the salle again," Arthur continued (he had no idea why he was continuing, but he'd steamroll along), "And I have no other plans this week."

Which almost made it sound like he was asking her out on a date. Lucky they weren't contemporary?

"How about Wednesday morning, then?" Elspeth suggested.

bitch_prince May 25 2009, 08:57:58 UTC

... No way to get out of that one, then.

"If it pleases you," Arthur said, somewhat formally. Okay, a lot formally.

formerbrat May 25 2009, 09:16:17 UTC

"It would please me," Elspeth said. "But I don't want to put you to any trouble." She lifted her chin and narrowed her eyes slightly, the challenge clear even though her tone was light.

"Oh, trust me," Arthur said, for while he might often be dense, he could recognise a challenge in an eyeblink. "It will be no trouble at all, milady."

Bloody women.

"Then I look forward to Wednesday," Elspeth smiled.

bitch_prince May 25 2009, 13:23:59 UTC

"Wednesday," Arthur agreed, nodded at her, "If you'll excuse me," and turned for another dummy.

He didn't massacre it, mind. This was a time to show off self-control, not anything else.
