Melou, wearing his usual look of utter woe, is picking huckleberries on the edge of the woods. He remembered a basket this time, and is working steadily, his fingers a little sticky from accidentally squashed berries

Have a Dinadan, Melou-- he's generally good at making people feel better. That, or he is so annoying that they get mad at him instead.

"You must be one of Mordred's," he says.

"What I have found from many years as a very bad knight is that if you can't find the way to please somebody, then they are asking too much to be worth pleasing."

"But he is my lord."

[scoffandjest]

"Well, not yet, technically."

[lesser_son]

"Sir?"

[scoffandjest]

"Well, I mean-- look at him. He's hardly older than you are."

[lesser_son]

He was trying not to think about that, Dinadan.

"Ay."

[scoffandjest]

Dinadan's helpful!

"So maybe he's changed."

[lesser_son]

"You still know him better than I, sir."
