8th DECEMBER: (Bedivere, Kay, Hawk)
“You stayed away for nearly a month to find me a hawk,” shouted Kay, looking furiously at the other knight.
Arthur looked at them, embarassed. “I- I should go and see- stuff. Stuff about Guinevere. Yes, Guinevere needs me,” he blurted out, running away from the room and leaving his stepbrother and his trusted knight alone.
“Yes, I sort of did,” answered Bedivere, looked something between guilty and hopeful. “I wanted to find a deserving gift but I couldn’t. It has not been easy.”
“I don’t care about gifts,” whispered Kay. “I don’t care. You stayed
away a month only for a gift. I don’t want any other gifts, just, don’t. I am trapped here in Camelot and you knights go away and fights and quest and wathever but my duties are here. You were away and I couldn’t go and look for you, I had to ask Lancelot. Lancelot.”
Bedivere’s newly formed smile slowly disappeared. “I am sorry. I just wanted- I am sorry, Kay.” He opened his arms, almost timidly, and sighed of relief when Kay accepted the hug and Kay’s arms tightened around him.
“Now, let me see that hawk. I hope it is majestic.”
