    “Kay! Kay!”

He’s just a scrawny, scruffy thing with mussed hair and a smudge or two on his face, and he comes tearing in bearing a sword that looks like it should to be too heavy for him to even lift. Some people might recognize it.

“I’ve found a sword for you!”

He stops suddenly, swinging the sword to bring its point to rest on the

"...oh great. Perfect, just... good God, Wart, your timing was always awful, but this is ridiculous."

[andfutureking]

He looks up at the man for a long, long moment. "...Kay?"

[unhappysteward]

"At least you've not been struck blind."

[andfutureking]

"I found you a sword, but..."

[inglewoodblues]

"Oh, boy," says the tall, dark woman, amused, looking down at him.

[andfutureking]

"Madam?" he says.

[inglewoodblues]

"Thou'rt very small to have such a sword."

[andfutureking]

"It's for my brother."

And poor Arthur is pounced on by an excitable year old Australian shepherd puppy.

"Hansi!" Ernst shouts, running after his dog before Arthur experiences death by face licking. "You great brute, leave the poor boy alone." He snuggles the dog out of the way, looking amused. "I'm so very sorry, he likes new people. He doesn't make for a very good guard dog, does he? Are you new here?"

Typist: Aaaw, what an adorable moosh! :O *fuzzes the ickle Arthur*

"It's alright," he says. He is used to big, boisterous hunting hounds. "New? I... we arrived at the tournament a few days ago."

[wherethefigslie]

"Oh -- you're not at the tournament anymore, I'm so very sorry." Ernst bites his lip, looking apologetic. "My name is Ernst Röbel -- I used to live in Germany, but I'm here now. Where are you supposed to be?"

[andfutureking]

"I... I am in London. I need to find my brother to bring him a sword."

It's just like clumsy Bella to go running into children bearing arms. And so, when the young boy suddenly appears trapsing down the hallway, she has to lean back very quickly as not to get hit by the flailing sword that is soon stood, point down, on the floor.

Giving him the quick once-over as she leans against the wall, catching her breath, Bella opens her mouth as if to say something. Then, after thinking the better of it, she closes it again.

He must be new.

"You know it's not safe to run down the hall with a giant..." she paused to look at the blade again, "sword."

[andfutureking]

"I'm sorry madam," he mumbles, looking at the ground. It's a tournament, he thinks. Surely there are all kinds of people running around with swords?

Edward resists the urge to growl and wraps his arms around Bella from behind, holding her protectively close. "No need to apologize. Just be more careful. Did you just arrive?"

[cereal_suits_me]

Bella's eyes go wide as Edward sneaks up behind her, and she sets her hands over his around her middle. Leaning into her husband, she smiles down at the boy, and then breaths so only Edward can hear, "It's alright. I almost ran into him."
