It has never been clear to Mordred why his sister does the things she does; least of all why she can dismiss him and all his sex as useless one day, and insist the next that he look for something for her, yes, him, no, she can't go herself, she's busy, stupid ( Read more... )

Lleu starts a bit, coming across him in the snow, in the woods; whatever-it-is that makes Mordred so uncannily familiar hasn't gone away. But in Lleu's mind the events of his kidnapping were resolved three years ago, so it's not raw.

He's got a sword at the moment, too--he's borrowed Kay's. He wears it unselfconsciously, with as little fuss as you'd sling a backpack over one shoulder.

"Oh--" He struggles for an appropriate greeting. "Happy new year."

The grin resurfaces. "Well, my sister is a special case. The rest, I try to stay out of. Who else have you met on fool's errands?"

Melou comes instantly to mind.

"I'll just shut up."

He smiles.

"Can I follow on your heels just now, if nothing more useful on your fool's errand? Only otherwise I'm not sure I'll find my way back."

and the troll is off to bed.

Mordred laughs. "Well, in that case. I don't suppose you--"

lionbright February 11 2009, 19:19:46 UTC

"I?"

"--No, never mind. Come on, then." He starts on along the track, too vaguely defined to be called a path, that he's been following.

He's light-footed enough, but tense; he's not at home here.

lionbright February 11 2009, 19:35:39 UTC

"Oh!" he exclaims, following, also light-footed and not as tense, ignorance being bliss. "I do mind. What?"

illgotten February 11 2009, 20:03:46 UTC

"Nothing. Stupid question. --How's your sister?"

lionbright February 11 2009, 20:17:41 UTC

"Well. Worried about me."

illgotten February 11 2009, 20:18:52 UTC

"Oh?" A half-grin. "What's wrong with you?"

lionbright February 11 2009, 20:25:22 UTC

"I'm older than her. We're supposed to be twins." He looks up sideways with the infuriating, bewitching grin. "She doesn't like it."

illgotten February 11 2009, 20:31:25 UTC

Mordred laughs. "Tell her she should hurry up, then." Because if there's anything he knows, it's harassing siblings.

lionbright February 11 2009, 20:36:40 UTC

"Ha! No. I'm being uncharitable."

He watches his feet in the snow.

"I have scars, from Camlan," he says suddenly. "She doesn't know."

illgotten February 11 2009, 20:42:41 UTC

A swift intake of breath, sobered. "Aye."

lionbright February 11 2009, 20:59:36 UTC

"I didn't die."

illgotten February 11 2009, 21:03:42 UTC

"Evidently."
