Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time [/i][/color][/center][/size] Gwen made her way into the market, holding her basket closer to her body so the bustling crowd wouldn’t unbalance her or knock it out of her hands. She straightened her posture as she squeezed between two feuding men and brushed a stray strand of her dark curls of her face. Gwen gazed around, searching for where the fruit stand would be set up, hoping to buy some food for her own next meal.
Gwen pushed the sleeve of her pale pink dress upwards as she made her way to the fruit stand and begun to glance at the selections available. She was torn between two options, both of which would go very well with the chicken she had planned for that evening. Thinking of chicken, it made her mind automatically think of the time Arthur ‘cooked’ dinner for her at her own place. It made her smile before realizing she really should stop thinking of the prince so often. It could get her into trouble one day if one was to figure out why Gwen tended to zone out these days.
Gwen finally decided on some potatoes and paid for them, placing them carefully into her basket as she made her way back through the crowds and onto the streets of Camelot, the place she had lived in, her whole life. She loved Camelot, it was her only home, and it was so amazing to just sit and watch people pass by each with their own story. Gwen smiled as she made her way to a bench and sat down, sighing contently as she figured what she should do next. That was when she heard a familiar voice.

Lancelot ..... Sir Lancelot ...... had been sent on a errand in the south by the Earl of Huntingdon. He had finished his task early, collecting a debt from a nearby noble. He had been so close to Camelot, and had felt the pull of memories from the the place, that he didn't see the harm in paying a little visit. His knightly attire was completely covered by his brownish-green traveling cloak, and with his hood up, as he walked his Arabian, Sherefore, through the market, he knew he would not be recognized.
Lancelot heard to arguing men just ahead, and immediately put his hand on short-sword in his belt, just in case it was needed. the quarters in the market were to close with too many people to use his long-swords effectively. The other advantage was that he could strike quickly, relatively unnoticed if he needed to. His attention, though, was drawn to a young woman who was squeezing her way through the crowd toward some stalls where they were apparently selling different types of fruit.
The girl looked familiar, especially in the way that she moved and walked. could he be Gwen he wondered? No .... the chances weighed heavily against it. He had not seen her since he had left the camp after she had been rescued from Hengest. He had told Merlin that he did not want to get between her and Arthur, no matter how he actually felt. After all, he was the Crowned Prince of Camelot, and it almost seemed the worst type of betrayal to take Gwen from him. It had been difficult, but he had not let himself look back .... until now.
He watched her make her purchase, staying a safe distance behind, ten or fifteen feet, and once she was done and she left, he followed at discreet distance as well. ]What harm could it do? He watched her smile at each passer-by, sometimes giving them a cheerful hello. It was becoming clear to him that following her was dangerous ..... he was likely to all for her all over again, and that simply would not do. But then something happened. She turned part-way and stopped to sit down on a bench. It was almost as if he heard someone else's voice, and not his own, something he could not control ........ he heard himself say ....."Gwen?", and he stopped his horse right beside her.

Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time [/i][/color][/center][/size] Gwen gasped when she realized who it was. She couldn’t help it. She hadn’t seen Lancelot since he disappeared after helping rescue her. Gwen knew he didn’t know how she cried for him afterwards and she definitely wasn’t going to tell him now. It would make him feel bad, and after what he did, she owed Lancelot big time. “Lancelot? Is that really you? I haven’t seen you since...”
[/b] Gwen trailed off not wanting to recall the last time they met.
Gwen wondered what Lancelot was doing in Camelot, hoping he was not in some kind of trouble. “This is such a pleasant surprise! It’s good to see you. Are you in any trouble of some kind?” Gwen fired off concerned for him. She knew she had feelings for Arthur, but sometimes the same sort of feelings seemed to pop up for Lancelot. It confused Gwen considerably. She didn’t really understand her feelings for either man at this stage.
Gwen had no idea what to say, still she felt a certain sense of warm feeling upon knowing that Lancelot was safe. It was a familiar comfort she’d learnt to appreciate. Still though, it didn’t help her figure things to say to him at all.

“Yes, it is me,” he laughed slightly, “At least I think so.” Lancelot pushed the hood on his cloak back so that she could see that it was him. He could hear her quickly draw in air as she gasped in surprise. He knew that he had not shaved or combed through his hair in several days, since he had been on the road traveling. "I know that I must be a ghastly sight. Yes .... it is most definitely me. I'm now Sir Lancelot. Its just that I'm a knight for the Earl of Huntingdon, and not Camelot, unfortunately." He knew that she was going to bring up the place of their last parting.
They were now extremely close to one another and he put his index and middle fingers on her lips, so that she would say no more. He was close enough so that he could deeply drink in the scent of her body, and he found his resistance to her weakening. Fortunately, after he removed his fingers she spoke one again, making a comment and asking a question, and it allowed him to focus enough to steel his resolve once more. "And why should I not be here?,” he asked somewhat mischievously. “Well, it definitely wasn't planned. I was sent on an errand by my Earl, and I was so close to Camelot I just had to take a walk through the square. I really hadn't planned on running into anyone I knew. I wouldn't think seeing either Uther or Arthur would necessarily be good right now."
“Are you glad?,” he asked. Lancelot did wonder how she and Arthur stood right now. he had left so that he would not interfere with anything that might be developing between her and the Prince. So he wondered where things stood, but it was not a question that you could just ask out of the blue. "So ...... how is Merlin and is your work in the castle with Morgana going."

Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time [/i][/color][/center][/size] “Oh no, I’m not saying that at all! I just cannot believe you are here! It’s such a great surprise.”
[/b] Gwen stammered slightly, hoping she hadn’t accidently offended him by something she’d said. Sure, he looked a little worse for wear, but he still looked like Lancelot to her. That was better than nothing to her. Gwen couldn’t help but intake a breath when she felt his fingers on her lips. Yes, he still had the little girl affect on her. It was a sad admittance indeed. She couldn’t help but stiffen slightly when Lancelot mentioned Arthur. She really didn’t want to mention anything about the prince in front of anyone especially Lancelot. “Well it’s good to know you are safe. This encounter, though unplanned is a good occurance.”[/b] Gwen said with a small affirming nod holding herself silently for a moment before losing the resistance to add, “I’ve missed you.”[/b] Gwen blushed when this came from her mouth. She shouldn’t have said that. “Merlin is good, as always. He keeps smiling despite how many times he manages to get himself into danger. And work for Morgana is as smooth as usual, she is a joy to serve.”[/b] Gwen responded to Lancelot’s inquiries with a small sense of comfort. Merlin and Morgana were safe subjects, Arthur was not. That much was obvious. [/font][/color][/blockquote][/size][/blockquote] Been here all along, so why can't you see?

Lancelot could see, though, that she was greatly surprised, or was it that she had difficulty talking to him? She was stammering so much in her reply. Or could it have been a mixture of both surprise, and his person, in particular. "Well, I am sorry for sneaking up on you like this, but I had no idea how I would be received, given how I left, after your rescue."
Lancelot had meant only to silence her momentarily. However, with closeness of their bodies, and the skin of his fingers on her moist lips he could see her reaction, as she both gasped and the rest of her body visibly reacted. "Why ...... had you been concerned about my safety. I am glad that, outside of the shock, you find it to be a good thing. I will try to pop in more often in the future, if you wish it. Do you?"
He heard her last comment, and saw her blush, but could not really believe she had set it, or colored slightly. He then remembered why he had left without saying good-bye in the first place. "You did? I, of course, missed you as soon as I left. Uh ...um ..... as friends always do. But you have Merlin, and Morgana, and, of course Arthur." he said, looking straight into her dark eyes with his.
Lancelot could see that she was trying to calm herself by talking in detail about her other friends. "Yes, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Merlin can't help himself," he said knowing of Merlin's magic and wondering who else knew. "Well, I know you have always enjoyed, her company." He knew she was not only Gwen's superior. "But what of Arthur, what of you and Arthur, my great Prince," he asked as they remained just inches away from one another.

Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time [/i][/color][/center][/size] Gwen paused for a moment as Lancelot mentioned the occasion where he left after rescuing her. Granted, she had been upset he had left, but she wasn’t any less pleased to see him now. It was his choice to leave, he did not owe her any apologies, this Gwen knew now. “You saved me, that’s what matters most.”
[/b] Gwen said softly as she gazed at the ground for a moment before bringing herself to glance back at Lancelot. “Any visit from you is a good one Lancelot, you should know that by now. You are welcomed by me any time.”[/b] Gwen said, her cheeks pinking a more steadily at these words, though she managed to keep her gaze on Lancelot steady as her voice was as well. She was though brought back to metaphorical earth when Lancelot mentioned Arthur. Of course he had mentioned it in a casual way, but any time the prince was mentioned around Arthur she couldn’t help but react the same way. “Of course.”[/b] Gwen said simply, with a firm nod giving little external reaction to the mention of Arthur, even though her insides were bubbling more than a little. “Merlin attracts all sorts of funny incidents. One could only wonder how he manages it.”[/b] Gwen said with a small smile at this. Merlin was one of her closest friends, she always enjoyed spending time with him. She was now thankful that nothing more had happened between them. Her love life or what little of it she had, was complicated enough as it was. “I have.”[/b] Gwen added as Lancelot mentioned how she’d always enjoyed Morgana’s company. Then came the money shot. Arthur. She blinked for a moment as she tried to figure what to say. “Arthur and I haven’t interacted as much of late.”[/b] Gwen managed after a moment, leaving out the fact she had been avoiding the prince.

Sir Lancelot was not sure that bringing up the subject was a good idea on his part, or their part. however, he didn't feel that their talk could go on without recognizing it. now that the topic had been breeched he was not sure that she wasn't holding something back. "Yes..... yes the important thing was that you were saved. As I said, I would have died a hundred times to save you. I would not allow the world to be robbed of your presence." He noted that she was having trouble maintaining eye contact with him, although he was not having the same difficulty with her, and he edged an inch or so closer to her.
He thought that he noticed a slight pinking to her cheeks, as she replied, but given her naturally dark and beautiful complexion, it was tough to tell. "Truly ..... is that true ....... is it a good one or a good idea ...... anytime," he said as he brushed her cheek with his hand, waiting to see what her reaction would be. had she given up all thoughts of him ..... he was curious. Part of him wished she would push him away, while a part of him wished for the opposite, without knowing a thing about Arthur.
He laughed a little at her response about Merlin. "It wouldn't be Merlin if he acted otherwise. Yes ..... yes .... I know that Morgana is more than the woman that you serve. It is a great thing to have a rind so close by, isn't it?" Lancelot was a bit surprised at her response about Arthur, and he edged ever closer, fully taking in the scent of her aroma. It was almost overpowering. "Gwen, that is hard to believe. Is that a decision that he has made, or you have made, or the both of you have come to. After all, the two of you were meant for one another, were you not," and he close his eyes, his last sentence almost literally painful to say at this close range."

Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time [/i][/color][/center][/size] Gwen couldn’t help but flush heavily at Lancelot’s words. Which girl wouldn’t? Being told that a guy would die for you was pretty flush worthy apparently. She smiled warmly, “That is good to hear, but I do not want you to be lost from the world either trying to save me.” Gwen said honestly.
Gwen froze for a moment as Lancelot’s hand brushed her cheek, it’s warmth spreading through her face. It was true, she did have those feelings for Lancelot, but she also felt a tad guilty every time she did because of her undeniable feelings for Arthur. She couldn’t help but wonder how she’d managed to get herself in such a sticky situation. Still, she didn’t shrink away from Lancelot’s touch. Maybe it was because if felt nice that someone could touch her in that manner without any concquences. Gwen didn’t quite know.
Gwen managed a smile as she ducked her head, breaking the contact and giggling slightly. “Yes, that’s all a part of Merlin, it’s what makes him such fun to be around. And yes, Morgana is a good friend to have, even if I serve her as well. She is like a sister to me.” Gwen said in a soft tone.
Gwen glanced away at Lancelot’s words on Arthur, knowing though that they were true. No matter what happened, they always seemed to be pulled back to one and other. She sighed, “It doesn’t matter anyway, we could never be together. He is a prince and I am a mere servant. I cannot get lost in daydreams.” Gwen said in a more stable tone.

As he edged closer to her he could not help but notice the reaction in her face, as he thought he saw her suddenly look down .... even with her dark complexion it was easy to see. She then spoke, and although she responded warmly, she responded as a friend would and nothing more. Apparently, that's all there was, or that was how she wanted to keep it. Given the act that he did not want to cross swords with Arthur, and how she wanted things, apparently, Lancelot did not want to force himself or the issue.
After coming within inches of her, Sir Lancelot took a step back, and giving her a slight bow. "As you wish, milady ..... mademoiselle. Truthfully, I was lost from the world long ago, but I still have my knightly duties. And if you are ever in harm's way, being important and loved by Arthur, I will quite readily lay down my lie in defense of you and the Pendragons, even though I no longer be a Knight of Camelot, I am still a knight elsewhere."
He had thought that he had seen a reaction, a reaction of more than just friendship, when his hand had brushed her cheek, though. Could he have been mistaken? She had not pushed him away though, had she? He thought he saw her eyes close when he had done it. Was she trying to not take a step that she might regret, he wondered. It almost seemed like she had liked it, but no ..... it was forcing her to make a choice, and he could not force her. What he had decided was best when they had rescued her was just as valid today. She belonged with Arthur, and he would just have to accept that, and he nodded to himself, clenching his teeth.
As she moved away, Lancelot could tell that, yes, she did like it, but she looked at it as a game, he thought. "Yes, I suppose so. At least of the many i would think. I'm glad that you have someone to confide in .... someone who is understanding. I think we all could use that from time to time," Lancelot said in return.
He saw her suddenly look down and away at his words about Prince Arthur. "Oh Gwen, there is nothing that is so final in reality that it can never happen. Situations change .... people change. I'm afraid Arthur is always trying to prove his worth to himself and to his father. When men are doing that, sometimes they don't see the value of even what is right in front of them, until its gone. I don't expect him to make that mistake for long. He's too smart and too good. We must all have our dreams ..... even I have them. I'm sure that yours are good ones and I hope the best or them, milady," he said, nodding once more.
