[oforkney]

You're not really going to have me come from Orkney, are you? And my father, a king now? Fffff-

[laughter is snorted out through his nose]

One king in my life is enough, thank you very much! Let's shove those ideas behind the watershed and pretend they never came to light, hm?

[royal_turniphead]

Thank you Gwaine, I appreciate that.

[why yes, Arthur's just standing there looking amused.]

You're a good and honorable man. That's all I need to know.

[oforkney]

Good and honorable! I guess my efforts to convince you otherwise have all been in vain.

[royal_turniphead]

You know me, once I get an idea in my head, I don't listen to anyone!

Don't let it go to your head. You're not that good and honorable. [laughter]

[youwillgotohell]

No one in their right mind would think you a prince.

[oforkney]

Much as no one in their right mind would think you queen?

[youwillgotohell]

[huff]

I was raised at Uther's side, you realize. I know as much about ruling a kingdom as your precious king does.

[oforkney]

I don't know why you two can't get along and rule side by side. T'would solve most of our problems, actually.

[youwillgotohell]

If you think for a moment that I would tolerate the man who said 'yes, Father' to the king who ordered women and children murdered, you're mad.

[oforkney]

You two used to be such good friends... or so I've heard.

Not to knock you off your podium, milady, but were you not the same once, saying 'yes Sire' right along with him?

[youwillgotohell]

Don't you know you shouldn't speak about what you don't understand?

You have no idea what Camelot was like before you arrived.

[deshabille]

I'd think one king would be far more than enough.

[oforkney]

Right? Most of 'em aren't worth their salts anyhow - all bluster and nothing to show for it. Guess I'm lucky Arthur's alright half the time. [shrugs] Sounds like you've got some experience dealing with the royals.

[deshabille]

I have experience dealing with people who think they're tremendously important. Which is, in spirit at least, the same thing.

It's all right. I know how to deal with them.

[oforkney]

Good for you! I'd rather not deal with them altogether but it's an unfortunate part of the job.

[deshabille]

And what job is that, exactly? I hope you get paid well.

[oforkney]

Knight of Camelot, answering to no less than Arthur Pendragon (who has a reputation for goodness that I will never understand).

I have a place to sleep and food to eat so I'd say I was getting pair rather well!

[surfaceshine]

You don't look remotely scaly enough for that.

[oforkney]

Scaly? Is that a new thing in Orkney?

[surfaceshine]

Look, it's that or I rip off Monty Python, or both, so I'm going to go the high fantasy route.

[oforkney]

Don't stop on my account but do explain the scales thing, I'm rather curious about it.

I'm so sorry, but I was told I had to use this icon

[surfaceshine]

Oh, that. I think it's the caves. Orcs seem to get dry skin a lot.
