[Dinner with Polyxena had given Arthur a great deal to think about. Naturally, a part of it was how he'd like to take her out again. The Trojan princess represented a certain ideal to Arthur Pendragon. She would be unattainable except that he was a king and he might be worthy of such pure virtue (and the parallels to holy grails is almost too ( Read more... )

Well, technically, your Sisters and I are not knights. But I do applaud the sentiment. So many supposed knights don't act too knightly.

No more than Elaine or Iseult or Nimue are knights, old friend, but it's a feeling that still stands.

That's very good.

So how are you doing, dear friend?

[filter] rexquefuturus July 28 2011, 21:56:20 UTC

I like to think so.

Well, overall. Reacquainting myself with what it is to be king, a little. Wondering if my dearest friend would be free for dinner tomorrow evening? It's been too long. (Since we are both alive again, mere weeks are too long.)

I have no plans to lay them aside, my Lord.

I know, Percival. I would expect nothing less of you.

A knight doesn't just forget his oath. Or he shouldn't.

[ filter ] rexquefuturus July 28 2011, 19:29:04 UTC

I couldn't agree more. I think that, sometimes, a knight might forget himself

[filter: arthur] modraed July 28 2011, 21:38:54 UTC

Even me, father sir?

[filter; mordred] rexquefuturus July 28 2011, 21:44:58 UTC

Why not you, Mordred? You were a knight and so you are a knight.

[filter; arthur] modraed July 28 2011, 23:30:34 UTC

You know the answer to that already, father my King. Still, who am I to argue with my liege?

[filter; mordred] rexquefuturus July 30 2011, 19:15:12 UTC

A knight may argue with his liege, just as a son may argue with his father. Not all my words are law but on this, I must insist: we are knights.

Tell me, Mordred. What news on Gaheris?

If my King has need of my services then all he has to do is ask.

[filter; nimue] rexquefuturus July 30 2011, 19:16:29 UTC

I am glad to hear of it and know that the sentiment is returned. If ever you have need of me, be sure to contact me.

[filter; arthur] noladyofthelake July 30 2011, 20:22:12 UTC

I shall, I look forward to not being strangers with you.

[filter; arthur] rexquefuturus July 30 2011, 21:21:13 UTC

The feeling is quite mutual.

[filter] galahad July 29 2011, 08:22:57 UTC

Undoubtedly my king.

[filter] rexquefuturus July 30 2011, 19:16:46 UTC

Thank you, Galahad.
