 Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Make himself at home. While this was not the home that he had once lived in . . . it was still a home. Filled with warmth, because it was Guinevère's. "Thank you," he said softly, taking a seat. He thought over her words of having met stubborn princes before, and he wished that was all that it was. Stubbornness. But his concerns with Galahad extended beyond that; went far deeper. And, he knew he owed Guinevère an explanation. For something told him, that it would not be the last time she met him. He softly smiled as she spoke of returning the favor. "Lunete is a wonderful girl," Arthur told her truthfully. "You must be so proud of her," he added on, knowing, that they had not yet even spoken of his interactions with Lunete.
"He is," Arthur answered in regards to Galahad's healing. He kept wanting Merlin to heal his foot with magic, but Arthur did not want magic used in such a way. Some lessons had to be learned the hard way, even if it pained Arthur to know that his son was hurting. "He is restless, but we have found ways to occupy his time." Ones that limited the mischief he often was up to, though Arthur knew he would more than make up for it. "It was itching powder," Arthur told her. "He was putting it in the books." He had found out the whole story -- eventually -- and Arthur had given him another task of cleaning all the books thoroughly so that no one would be victim to his little prank.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur had no idea how this conversation was going to go. He only knew that it needed to happen. That they could no longer prolong the inevitable. She was here, and they were going to see each other . . . planned or not. It was impossible now to keep from each other's lives and well, Arthur didn't want to. He didn't want this tension. These unspoken words. When she opened the door he smiled in greeting, stepping inside as the door was closed behind him. "Thank you for meeting with me," he started things off by saying, wanting her to know how much he appreciated this. He also knew that he couldn't stall.
They could exchange pleasantries but it would Arthur be just putting off the conversation. "I wanted to apologize again, for Galahad. I hope you know that he doesn't mean what he said." Arthur knew that. His son tended to speak more than thought. Which, was the opposite of Alymere. His oldest put a great deal of care into his words where as his second son just spoke whatever he thought of in the heat of the moment. "And, thank you, for taking care of him. I . . . can not tell you just how much that means to me." Because words were inadequate. He knew it couldn't have been easy -- especially with whatever attitude Galahad had given to her -- but also, for reasons that went beyond a child's words.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur felt horrible. He closed his eyes for a brief moment, knowing he had to keep down the emotions for he had his son in his arms and needed to figure out how to handle this situation. It was moments like this, where he so desperately wished that Galahad had his mother. Where Arthur felt like he was doing something wrong. Every decision he made, effected his children and their future . . . and he was terrified, of messing something up. When he got him checked out, the physician said it would keep in a couple of weeks, but that he needed to stay off of it as much as possible. Galahad was of course not happy about this, but Arthur knew it would give him a good break.
The physician put a thick bandage around it and gave him a couple of crutches to walk with. Arthur then had a long talk with Galahad, trying to understand what he had done, why he had done it . . . and what the reason was that he had spoken to Guinevère in such a way. At the end of it, Galahad and Arthur had decided on an adequate consequence, which was that he was going to polish all of the physician's tools. Furthermore, Arthur had Galahad apologize to Guinevère and thank her for her help. It was a quick visit, and Galahad was not happy about it at all . . . but it was necessary. Arthur took the time to ask Guinevère if they could speak privately later today. He knew he had to talk with her about . . . everything. All that was happening. Meeting each other's children, and finally confronting their pasts.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur couldn't help but smile a little at the tease, but his son was of a different mind. "I am not your prince," he said bitterly. Arthur stopped walking for a moment and look at his son. "Galahad, that is no way to talk to anyone. Especially someone who is older than you." Arthur felt embarrassed that his son would talk such a way to Guinevère. He knew that he had not ever spoken to his children about just how important she was to him, but . . . a selfish part of him wanted them to get along. Not, speak to her in such a way. "She cares more about protecting you and Alymere!" Arthur knew that wasn't true.
He had no idea what had happened in the library between them but his son was clearly upset about something, and . . . he hoped Guinevère could forgive him for such things. He made eye contact with Guinevère once more, an apology in his gaze. "I'm so sorry," he apologized again. He wished he could say he didn't know what came over him, but he knew his son and . . . this was not uncommon for him. But, disrespecting anyone -- especially Guinevère -- was not something Arthur condoned or would allow. "You and I are going to have a talk after we get your foot looked at," Arthur said in a serious tone to Galahad. That seemed to be enough to silence the boy for the time being.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur nearly smiled, the concern hindering the action, when she spoke of how he was stubborn. "I feel like that is something I should apologize for," he told her, only half kidding. He knew his son could be challenging. In fact, he was rather surprised that she managed to get a bandage around his leg. Once they reached the hall that led to the library, he could see his son limping, one hand on the wall to help brace himself. "Galahad," Arthur said rushing towards him, and immediately kneeling before him.
"What happened?" He asked concerned. Galahad glanced at Guinevère, before looking back at his father. "I fell off the stool! But I'm okay. My foot is just purple." Arthur looked down at his leg, not wanting to remove the bandage yet. "Come. Let's go to the physician and get it checked." He lifted Galahad up in his arms so that he wouldn't have to strain it further. "And what of this vile?" This time, Galahad's eyes went to Guinevère, clearly displeased. He didn't say anything. "Galahad," Arthur said, an underlying tone of sternness. A tone that he knew his son would recognize.
"But I--" "Hand it over," Arthr said, holding out his hand expectantly. Galahad let out an annoyed sigh and reached into his pocket, putting the vile in his father's hand. He then wrapped an arm around his father's neck, still looking at Guinevère. "You lied!" "Galahad," Arthur said more sternly before. He turned to look at Guinevère, before looking back at his son. "She helped you, and helped you even more by telling me." Galahad continued to make a face.
"Did you say thank you to Guinevère?" Galahad stayed quiet. Arthur just let out a sigh, turning around to properly face Gwen. "I'm sorry," he apologized. "He's just . . . " Arthur paused for a moment before continuing. "Stubborn." "Well people say I get that from you," Galahad quipped. Arthur knew he was going to have to have a chat with his son about all this, and properly thank as well as apologize to Gwen.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur listened intently to every word, taking in whatever details she gave him. It was Galahad and . . . he was holding a vile. Arthur nearly stopped at that mention, knowing that whatever his son was doing . . . it was something mischievous. He knew him well enough to know that. But that was not his primary concern right now. He was more concerned with making sure his son was alright.
"Thank you, Guinevère," he told her gratefully, though noticed that she stopped walking and slowed his pace, turning to look at her. "You're not coming?" He asked, having assumed that she would. He wasn't even sure why he assumed that, he just had. The realization that she had met his son, and the magnitude of that had not even occurred yet. He was far more concerned with the boy's injury than anything, and . . . incredibly grateful that Guinevère had been there to help him. So he just waited, hoping he would not have to pause long and that Guinevère would rejoin his side.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT As soon as Arthur heard who was at the door, he immediately granted them entrance. His heart beat a little heavier in his chest but kept an entirely composed demeanour. He was after all, surrounded by the entire council. They didn't need to know of his history with Guinevère -- apart from those who already knew it. When she entered, he greeted her with her name, hoping that all was well but then . . . she said that his son was injured.
Arthur immediately rose to his feet, concern flooding him. It didn't even matter which son she was talking about. His heart now raced for an entirely different reason, and the council also froze in concern. "What happened?" Arthur asked as he crossed the room to stand before her. "Is he alright?" But as he asked the question, hoping she would walk alongside him, Arthur was already making his way to the library.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Of course Galahad liked to hear that he was brave and strong . . . but he was also very strong willed. And stubborn. He'd heard comments about how he had gotten that from his father. He made a face at her, wrinkling his nose again as if he was displeased by her statement that the vile stays with her. He made no move to reach into his pocket to retrieve it. He hated that his foot was hurting! Because by now, he would have run out of here as fast as he could . . . and he was a fast runner!
"No," he said again stubbornly, showing no indication that he was going to change his mind, or that he was even open to it. "I already let you bandage my foot." As if that was a favour to her rather than him. "I'm not going to give you two things you want!" To bandage him and the vile. "And I'm a prince too you know," he said, assuming she was referring to his father and Alymere when she said king and prince. As if indicating he was ready to the end the convo, and wasn't going to give in, he started to limp away, hopping a little as he tried not to put pressure on his foot. He knew he couldn't outrun her . . . but he could try!

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Galahad listened to each of her responses to his questions and statements . . . but her latter question that he focused on answering. "Yes," he stated. He was starting to but his father wouldn't let him do as much as Galahad wished! "Alymere does more training. Papa said that I'll do more when I'm bigger." Which, Galahad did not want to wait for! He was better with his training than he was with books. Though, he did not envy his brother who had to do a great deal more studying than he did.
"Papa says I have a natural talent for it!" And that he would be a great knight one day but he had to learn about the other qualities first . . . blah blah blah. She then said that if he promised that the vile did not have any poison, then she wouldn't say that she found him with it. "I wouldn't poison anyone!" He stated, or assured. He wasn't entirely sure. He just immediately denied the thought of having done anything of the sort. He looked at her hand and then back at her face, then at her hand, and his answer came after. "No," he said defiantely.
"It's my vile." Which, was technically a lie. But she didn't need to know where he got it from. Using the edge of the shelf, he pulled himself to his feet. "I already gave you my word it's not poison. Now you should keep your word and not tell anyone." Whether she had the bottle or not. "Breaking a promise is a very, very bad thing to do!" He often had lessons on honesty and the importance of keeping to one's word. A man's worth was his word, his father would tell him. So Galahad took it quite seriously!

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Galahad both watched and listened to her story, explaining how his father had saved her life. He grinned at the thought, knowing that his father saved many! And he wanted to be like that too one day. To fight evils and save people! . . . But mostly the fighting bit. "Was there a lot of blood?!" He asked excitedly, clearly priotizing the wrong thing in the story but he couldn't help it!
"Papa says that we serve the people too. Which also makes us servants to them." The thought was one Galahad had always found out. Considering what he heard others talk about. But apparently, Uncle Merlin was also considered a servant . . . yet, not at the same time. It was all very confusing! But all Galahad could do was repeat his father's words. "It wasn't very smart to run out at night," he told her bluntly. "Unless you can fight. Can you fight?!" And defend herself! But she said she ran from it so many not.
"I'm going to be a knight one day," he said proudly, raising his chin a little. "And fight off all the bad guys!" Everyone he had heard stories about. "And maybe, I'll get to fight a dragon one day too! Just like papa!" He looked at the cloth as it was tightly wrapped around his foot. "Uncle Merlin said that dragons aren't bad though." Something else that Galahad couldn't understand. "Even though it had hurt a lot of people." And nearly hurt her too apparently.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Her husband died. Well, oh. Galahad's mother had died, but he didn't feel like sharing any of that. Besides, the entire kingdom knew. He jerked his hand away when she moved to stop him. "Don't touch me," he said again, clearly not liking others stopping him from his actions. "I don't . . . think I need a bandage." But he also knew that he had to get out of here! Letting out an annoyed huff he stop moving away from her and just stared at his foot before looking at her. "Don't tell anyone about this, ok?" As if Galahad thought he could actually get away with hiding this from everyone.
His face twisted once more, suggesting that she could bandage this as she had bandaged his father's wound. "Fiiiinnneee," he said, clearly not pleased with it but . . . he needed it healed! He pulled up his pant leg a little more, his nose crinkled at the sight, before the dragon mention fully distracted him. It was one of his favorite stories. "You know about the dragon story?" He asked. "Papa fought the dragon! Before Uncle Merlin sent it away!" The Dragonlord! "I wish I could see it one day!" How cool would it be to see a dragon?! "That's how he got the scar! He was fighting it!" As if that was all there was to the story.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Galahad listened to the woman explain who she was; her history among the castle and his family. Hearing that she had seen some of the exciting stories that he heard from everyone! "Nothing can bring down the castle," he exclaimed, proud of his home. "My father, Uncle Merlin, and all the knights protect it!" Their home would last forever! That was what Galahad believed anyway. "Are you a servant again? Is that why you're here?" In the castle; in his home. "Or are you a nurse here?" Since she said she helped many injured men. Did the physician have some help now?
Seeing her reaction to his wound, Galahad looked at her and back at his foot. "It doesn't!" He exclaimed almost boastfully; proudly. Her next words made his eyes slightly widen with excitement. "It can turn black?!" And with that, he began to poke it repeatedly, as if wanting to see how much more discolored it could get! "It's not changing," he said disappointingly. "Wait, what are you doing? I don't want to wear a dress on my foot! I'm not a girl!" He slid back, away from her. He only saw that she had taken something from the dress she was walking around with, not what she had actually taken, making a face at the very idea of wearing a dress on his swollen foot.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT A world where princes couldn't be trusted. His father often told him the value of building trust with the people; of earning their trust not just expecting it. He didn't want to be a tyrant prince. He'd heard stories from others about tyranny. "Depends on who's keeping them," he answered with the same tone as before. "My father says trust is to be earned. So I don't trust you with any of my secrets." For the sole fact that he didn't know her. He didn't even know her name and he was going to act like he didn't care enough to know it! He only knew her as the woman who could tell on him. She then said that she was surprised he could stand.
But what distracted him most . . . was when she said that she was his father's nurse. His eyes slightly widened but quickly caught himself as he pretended not to care. "How were you his nurse? I have never seen you before in my home." He didn't understand! That was so long ago! Even before Alymere! And . . . had she been in his home this entire time?! No! He knew all the servants and their roles. Papa had made sure of it. "I don't need to show it to know I'm strong." But, curiosity did get the best of him as did he desire to boast if it looked bad.
So he sat on the ground and pulled off his boot. The action caused him to wince, before pulling off his sock and looking at his ankle. It was swollen. Bruised, and discoloured. Fascinating! Galahad gave it a little poke. He was always intrigued by wounds. The physician would always send him away when he kept trying to watch. "It's purple!" He announced, more interested than scared. As if she couldn't see it, he felt the need to state the obvious. "It does not hurt," he added with a slight air of arrogance. But, that wasn't entirely true. It did hurt, especially when he tried to walk on it!

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT She saw the vile! Well, there went his hopes to keep it secret! He couldn't tell if she was going to tell his father or not. She just stayed . . . calm, and told him that a prince need to share his secrets. Before asking why the vile was so important. Galahad wasn't about to offer that information. If she wasn't going to tell his father, she would most definitely change her mind if he gave her more reason! Besides, he was already doubting she wouldn't. WHY did he have to get caught?! This was an otherwise brilliant plan!
After hearing her questioning the vile, Galahad folded his arms across his chest. "A prince need not share his secrets," he repeated, purposely using the exact same words she had, only this time, to answer her question, only giving a bit of attitude with it. Giving her a look, he attempted to take a step away, but instead, let out a slight whimper of pain, realizing his foot was hurting . . . a lot! And though he didn't know it, it was from the angle in which he had fallen. Trying not to let it show he just looked at the unfamiliar woman as if waiting for her to leave so he could get out of here and she wouldn't have to watch him lip! He was already embarrassed enough! No one could know about this!

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Galahad stared at the woman who entered, not knowing who it was! That made it worse . . . almost. "Don't touch me!" He protested, trying to move away. Truth was, he was embarrassed and he didn't need anyone to see that he was stuck and needed help. But, she reached down and gently moved his foot free.
Galahad immediately staggered to his feet, brushing himself off from the dust that covered him. He was going to get in so much trouble! He looked up at the woman, still having no idea who she was! She didn't look like a servant in the castle. "You're going to tell my papa aren't you," he asked rhetorically. "Everyone always tells him everything," Galahad grumbled bitterly. Looking at the vile that had rolled out of his pocket eh quickly reached down and pocketed it, hoping she didn't see it.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Galahad was not happy! His tutor failed him on his geography test and even told his father about it! Why did he have to know about kingdoms and regions?! About borders and lines?! He would never need to know any of that! Galahad may not be book smart, but he was going to prove that he was smart with books. Just, not reading them. He sneaked into the library, knowing that their old kook of a librarian wasn't in there. He made his way down the aisles looking for the area that he knew his tutor got the books from. Once there he grinned, searching around for a stool and climbing up it. He then proceeded to open the books, one by one, and pulled out the small vile he had . . . of itching powder.
He had smuggled it out of the physician's quarters. Now, it was HIS turn to teach their tutor a lesson! And unlike all the gibberish his tutor taught him . . . it was a lesson he was not going to forget! Shaking the powder in a few books, Galahad decided that would do! He was stepping off the stool when his foot caught, causing him to stumble and fall onto his back, a few of the books on the opposite shelf falling on him. Instinct kicked in long enough to hold his arms up to block his face.
Lying there, he felt his heart racing. Attempting to stagger to his feet, it was then he noticed that his foot was stuck in between the steps of the stool! Oh no! This was not good! He grunted as he tried to struggle free of it! Come out foot, come out! That was when he heard footsteps and his face twisted in agitation! This is not good he thought to himself as he tried to pull his leg to free his foot!

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT To tell Lunete the story, would be such a great honour. A pleasure that Arthur had never thought he'd ever get to experience. "Your mother is right, it is not as impressive," he began to say. But the smile reformed, and he continued. "It is more impressive," he added. "And it would be an honour, to share it with you." He often told his children the tales of Camelot . . . being able to tell Lunete of them, meant a great deal. Though, he knew he would have to check with Guinevère to make sure that it was alright.
Guinevère thanked him and Arthur locked eyes with her, knowing that the emotions he felt in this moment, were starting to show in his gaze, though he tried to keep most of them guarded. "It . . . means a great deal to me too." To allow him to talk to her daughter; to not be upset that he was so close. So much was between them and yet, there was this mutual acceptance of the other. "Take care, Guinevère. Lunete. Until we may meet again." And Arthur had to force himself to turn around and leave . . . unsure why it was so difficult to walk away.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur's smile grew watching the two reunite, his heart swelling with emotion upon seeing it. The love of a mother and daughter. The love of Guinevère and her daughter. It warmed his heart and made him wish . . . together, they could have experienced that. He couldn't imagine life without his children, but all those thoughts of hoping to one day marry Guinevère, to one day start a family with her . . . it just reminded him of how he felt about her. Of how he never stopped feeling about her.
Hearing her gratitude, his smile nearly faltered when Lunete bowed. But Arthur lowered his head in response. "I was telling Lunete that she is very brave, like her mother," Arthur said, summarizing their basic conversation. Knowing, he had to say something to break the emotional intensity he felt in this moment. "I should . . . leave you to take her home." Something made him want to stay; something strong, but he knew that it was not fair, nor his place to do so. "I hope we can meet again," he said smiling at Lunete, before glancing at Guinevère as if to ask whether it was alright for him to make such a statement.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur's smile remained in place as she spoke of fighting dragons, and that she was afraid of them. "There are many kinds of bravery," he told her. "Did you know . . . your mother saved the lives of the knights. She pulled one out of the way of danger." She had pulled him out of the way. A fond memory. A bittersweet one.
"She didn't have to fight a dragon or creature, to show how brave she was." Arthur recalled every time he had seen her display the utmost bravery. Especially with the dragon attacks. "It is your strength of heart, that makes you brave." Arthur had taken time to learn that, for he was raised to believe that it was your combat skills and mind that made you strong; made you brave. Made you able to be king. Guinevère had helped him learn that it was also your heart. Happening to glance at an approaching figure, he smiled with relief. "Turn around," he said in a quiet voice to Lunete, before his gaze rested on Guinevère.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Did his mother yell at him. Arthur still remembered how he felt at the time . . . and how he had longed for nothing more than a mother's hug in that moment. To feel the safety and security of a mother's hug. He also knew that mentioning his father's reaction would not be helpful. In fact, mentioning his father at all would not be helpful, considering Lunete has recently lost hers. "My family was just happy to see me," he told her truthfully. Fear masked by anger. But, he knew that Guinevère would just be glad to hold her daughter in her arms once more. No sooner did the thought enter his mind, that he felt Lunete wrap her own arms around him. Arthur paused for only a second before he returned the gesture, gently wrapping his arm around her, closing his eyes for a moment as a smile formed on his lips.
His heart swelled with emotion, so incredibly happy that Guinevère found the joy of motherhood . . . even if it was not with him. When he drew his head back to look at her, he continued to smile at her next question . . . at the words that her mother had spoken. She spoke of him? Knowing it could not have been easy to do so, Arthur felt a sense of honour upon that. "I learned to be brave, by letting people help me," he told her. A lesson he had learned much later in life. "To know, that it's ok to get scared once in a while. But being brave, comes from here," he said, his finger pointing to her heart. "And you, I think are braver than I was. Maybe even braver than me and all the knights," he said smiling. Something that she got from her mother.
