The Citadel, Camelot, Sunday

It was the first day of the jousting tournament. There was no place Arthur would rather be than out there, amidst the tents, observing his final preparations and discussing the oncoming matches with his knights. (And, perhaps, making it clear to them that he really did expect them to face him as they did anyone. It wasn't that he had anything to ( Read more... )

"I have travelled here from the far reaches of Northumbria," the man continued, "Several months ago, I found myself welcomed at King Odin's court. He... is not of the same humour as he once was. Not after the loss of his son."

At that, his eyes darted towards Arthur, almost guiltily.

"Continue," Uther said, steel-faced.

"I... served his Majesty for some time," he said, "He came to trust me. One day, he called for a guest. A dark and threatening man. I believe his name is Myror, an assassin. And I believe they made-- arrangements against your son. The prince." Arthur gained a slight, respectful nod of his head.

The frown on Uther's face deepened. "And you are sure of this?"

"I was there in person," he spoke, "Odin has put a price on Prince Arthur's head."

Aaaand look at that. Francine was going to be very frowny about this after he assured her nothing was trying to kill them this week.

Come to think of it, Merlin was rather frowny as well.

"He wouldn't dare," Uther snarled, getting up out of his throne and pacing like a caged tiger.

"He's been maddened with grief, my Lord," the man said, carefully.

Uther's features became distinctly uglier. "I've heard of this Myror," he said, darkly. And picked up his sword.

"I believe he's headed for Camelot as we speak." A long pause. "I bring you this information at... great risk to myself." And lo, he got a small purse of coins tossed his way before being dismissed.

Arthur paced out of the audience chamber with determination grifted onto his face. He was not about to let news like this throw him off of his game - but it was certainly going to be harder to find time to train and relax between matches with the guards watching his every move.

"Merlin," he said, "Time to get my armor and lance - the tournament is about to begin."

"...you're still going out there?" Arthur, this was Merlin's look of disbelief. So much disbelief that he would cause the Doctor to not come back by not believing in him.

That's a lot of disbelief.

"I'm hardly going to forfeit the tournament just because there's an assassin on the loose," Arthur said, glancing at him like that was the most bizarre idea in the world. "What would the people think?"

Re: After the Audience bigdamndestiny June 27 2010, 14:44:45 UTC

"Oh, I don't know... that there's an assassin on the loose?"

Ah, Once and Future Queen, how we skate you by with various adjustments. (I swear, Merlin seasons only ever get truly interesting towards the back half, although every episode has its bits and bobs that are fun. Just don't ask bigdamndestiny about the violins. The violins)

And epic lighting!

NEEDS MOAR BACKLIGHTING. And fans imagining strands of saliva that aren't there!
