Cooking With Gwen (or, Because Of The Lady With The Face Of A Toad)lalumenaOctober 7 2009, 07:04:37 UTC
(Er, this is very PG, because of...how I roll? I just edited it to add some more romantic bits in. Hope that's ok.) :)
He knows they can't be together; her a servant, and him (soon) a king. Arthur knows he should be turning his mind to other things. Another endless patrol with the guards. Or perhaps another conversation about that Lady Something-Or-Other who his father thought might make him an excellent wife, in a few years time.
She's pretty enough, Arthur supposes. But when she scolds (screams at, more like) her servants, the rage curls her face into the likeness of a toad.
No, thank you.
So it is partly Lady Toad-Face that finds him visiting Gwen more and more. Some days he's restless, waiting until the moment when he's free to escape and find her. It is (if he's being honest with himself, which he generally avoids) a little like the time that sorceress bewitched him. Except he remembers things. And Gwen isn't intent on drowning him.

Oh, me too! I did so love that bit, with Arthur being rather out of his depth. And the way his face is so genuine when he's talking about how he feeeeels. OH ARTHURRRR.
