My lady Mundane,

As honoured as I am by your... choosing me, I must admit I do have other things that require my attention. Important things. My knights need me, and you have other things you should be doing.

We should return to our duties and go our ways, it would be best for all. 

[..........]

And no, I do not wish to join any 'games', though I do encourage your trying to play me despite your uncertainties in doing so. I approve of trying instead of giving up at the very least. That action is a good one.

You just don't need to do it with me.

[rule_britannia]

Oh, bloody hell, it's you.

[fealties]

Try make the best of the situation instead of complaining, I hear it does wonders for the mood.

[worthkilling]

... [stare] Have we met before?

[rule_britannia]

Once. I believe you called me an ignorant knave or some such thing and deemed me unworthy of your time. It might have been to your advantage to have found out who you were speaking to before you dismissed me so readily, boy.

[LANCELOT HE IS SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU.

Except it's you, so, what is a happy reunion?]

Apparently nothing dampens your spirits. Or are you just glad to be out from under Rome's thumb like you always wanted?

[fealties]

[ WHAT IS HAPPINESS IN GENERAL? ]

Dampened spirits do me little good. [ He's dead anyway. ] It is relaxing not having Rome's claws digging into my back.

[worthkilling]

.... [awkward look away.] I assume... you were once one of my enemies?

[he loses his temper when his men are threatened, it's true.]

[rule_britannia]

If you would have named a child no higher than your knee one of your enemies.. I suppose that I was, in a way.

[worthkilling]

[... NOT ROME? sob.]

They never did anyone much good, but no one but Bors ever seemed to remember that. [well that's depressing.] Lancelot... [s i g h]

[worthkilling]

... Ah. [welp.] I don't make a habit of striking children, I trust there was a reason then?

[fealties]

[ CLEARLY. ]

Bors drowned his woes like the rest of us, he was simply lucky enough to find a woman willing to put up with him. [ Depressing indeed. Arthur, don't you even start. ] Don't Lancelot me, I know what you're going to say and I will not have it.

Teehee...

[rule_britannia]

When that child symbolises everything you feel you must fight against, that is reason enough, don't you think?

[worthkilling]

[HE LIKES ROME OKOK DON'T MAKE HIM GIVE YOU THE SPEECH AGAIN.]

If by 'put up with' you mean be just as vicious as he was about his commitment. [why you gotta know him so well? So he just shuts up with what he was going to say right then.] If you insist. If you know what I'm going to say, then I guess I'll save it this once.

England YOU CONFUSE HIM OKAY

[worthkilling]

... You're British then? [that was awkward.] I've made my peace with Britain, for what it's worth.

[elvenkind]

Perhaps you own qualities the lady admires.

THIS IS GOOD YES?

[rule_britannia]

Ah, dear boy.

[He's enjoying this too much]

I am Britain.

[worthkilling]

[He has manners at the very least, both his English and Roman side, and he knows a woman of noble birth when she is presented to him.

So, bracing a hand over his heart, he bows.]

If she respected them truly, I think I would of been let about my business.

[fealties]

[ ROME IS DUMB, STOP LIKING IT. IT'S SUPER DUMB. AND FULL OF DOUCHE BAGS. ]

Vicious is putting it kindly. [ Because he just does. He knows he hasn't avoided it, but this is a small victory. ] I do. And if you have any sense in that brain of yours you will keep them to yourself, I do not want them.

BRB BSOD

[fjdksajfaeijfkdsajfsd.]

You're--

[wait, what?]

Is this some trick of Merlin's to test me?

[rule_britannia]

... If this were some trick of Merlin's don't you think he would have come up with something a little more impressive than this?

[Small gesture at himself. Really, Arthur?]

[worthkilling]

[OUCH LANCELOT OUCH. HE IS ROMAN. WHY YOU GOTTA BE SO MEAN?]

I always did wonder about your dealings with her. [You slept with her too probably.] Hope springs eternal. [he's amused just a little.] That maybe this time, something I say will sink into that skull of yours.

[elvenkind]

[ And Lancelot receives a shallow dip in return, what a gent. ]

I would not press the issue. [ Oops, that's a smile. ] That she begs you to remain close is enough of an indication of her feelings.

[worthkilling]

The tricks I know of Merlin's tend to be of the fast and deadly sort. [battle tricks, mostly.]

How are you Britain? Do you represent a people, is that what you mean?

[rule_britannia]

That would be the layman's way of explaining it.

[Sigh]

People, culture, history, language, anything that you can think of to apply.

[worthkilling]

[Well, he was raised to manners, to both enemies and friends, women and men.]

No, I do not think it would be me much good. [he smiles back, only his smiles aren't so grand, given he hardly smiles at all.] It is, and I am flattered, as far as it goes. I've just other matters on my mind.
