[agravaiting]

He rides in on a horse that looks like it's seen better days, in worn and bloody gear, and the first words out of his mouth are "Jesus be damned." Turns out these words are addressed to the horse, because he follows it up by leaning along her neck and adding, "Of all the places to bring me, you Satan-bred animal. Where the hell is it?"

Then he

"Uncle." He smiles a bit, though not overly familiar. "Well met." You know, unless that's not okay.

[lovingknight]

Teenage rebellion takes many forms? Besides, Agravain Does Things, rather than talk about them. "Well, either way, Father has us all living out in a shack in the woods. So what we gain in avoiding Kay, we lose in the shack-ness."

[agravaiting]

Stupid Things. "All of you? All packed in together? I don't care how ugly this place is, I'm staying here."

[lovingknight]

"My parents, and my brother Florence, and Gareth and his wife, and your wife, and Mordred and his sons. Gaheris is here too, but he stays with Morvyyd at the big house, mostly."

[agravaiting]

"Jesus. All of 'em. At least the mad one's out of the way."

[lovingknight]

He nods. "He's worse than I've ever seen him. Doesn't make any sense at all."

[agravaiting]

"That's my family."

[lovingknight]

"Aye." He hesitates a moment, then says, "Do you want me to show you to the Mansion?"

[agravaiting]

"Take me to the stables. I want t'put the horse away."

[lovingknight]

"Of course. This way."

So he catches the reins and leads the horse along.

[lovingknight]

Lovel picks along sure enough; the stables are one of the few redeeming features of the place in his mind.

[agravaiting]

"Oh, that's better," he says, brightening visibly.

[lovingknight]

He grins, a bit boyish. "It's well supplied, too. No grooms, but they seem well cared for."

[agravaiting]

"Even better. Don't need a groom to take care of my horse anyway. Rather do it myself." Agravain looks pleased, both with the situation and Florence.

[lovingknight]

Or Lovel. (Though Agravain would not be the first to mix them up.) He nods. "Do you want me to point out anything else?"
