KAY : 

I see some gardens.

Looks like we can climb through here.

…Say, kid.

Can you focus for a minute? 

We’ve got our hands full here. 

PERCIVAL : 

…

I want…

( What do I want, exactly?

To not be a knight anymore?

To go home?

I’m tired.

Tired of standing paralyzed by the consequences of my actions,

tired of wanting to fall back instead of looking for a solution.

I’ve got to fix my mistakes, and to do that…

I need to tough it out. )

[ determined!! ]

…I want to understand why Excalibur didn’t mark you! 

Since…

…it’s a magical…

…item…

[ not suspicious at all! ]

( It’s the first thing I could think of. )

KAY : 

It’s because Excalibur is bound to Arthur. Well, to be exact…

Excalibur is bound to the blood of the Pendragons,

and its scabbard to Arthur specifically.

PERCIVAL : 

How so?

KAY : 

It’s complicated, you’ll have to ask Merlin.

All I can tell you is that only a Pendragon may use Excalibur’s magic.

As for the scabbard, anyone can use it.

Its backlash is greatly reduced, and

transferred over to Arthur.

PERCIVAL : 

But he’s going to be⎯

KAY : 

⎯a bit under the weather tonight, at worst.

He’ll recover, at any rate.

Surely you don’t think I would’ve gone to such lengths just to endanger my brother and king myself? 

[ percy is perplexed. ]

KAY : 

Alright, are we done with the field trip? Can we go now? 

PERCIVAL : 

One more thing…

KAY : 

Hm?

PERCIVAL : 

…Thank you…

…for helping me…

[ embarrassed ]

KAY : 

That’s my job.

[ he rubs the heck out of percy's head lmao ]

Welcome to the Round Table. 

…You’re not a half-bad shot yourself. 

PERCIVAL : 

…Really? I saved your life.

KAY : 

You didn’t save me from jack.

PERCIVAL : 

You’re really obnoxious, did you know that?

KAY : 

I’m not asking you to like me.

I’m asking you to stay alive.

BORS : 

There was such a ruckus…

I hope they’re alright.

GALAHAD : 

Are you okay, sir?

TRISTAN : 

I’m perfectly fine! 

…

BORS : 

Are you ready, Tristan?

TRISTAN : 

Ah, yes!

Go on ahead. I’ll be right behind you, I just need to pick up my bow. 

BORS : 

You’re here!

DINADAN : 

Hey, that’s my line!

BORS : 

Bloody hell, you look terrible.

How did you⎯

BEDIVERE : 

The sun will be setting soon.

We need to move and find Arthur without further delay.

Let’s go.

TRISTAN : 

And the giantess? 

BEDIVERE : 

I dealt with her. 

Speaking of which…

I’ll do the same to you next time you ignore one of my orders

and rush in head first like an idiot. 

You’re not on your own, we’re working as a team.

And I’m your commander.

Is that clear, Tristan of Lyonesse?

TRISTAN : 

…Crystal, Sir Bedivere.

BEDIVERE : 

We’ll talk about this again later.

Let’s go.

BORS : 

But, you look like you could use some heal⎯

BEDIVERE : 

Shut up and keep walking!

[ bors is confused ): ]

DINADAN : 

Pay it no mind. We better hurry. 

GALAHAD : 

Sir Palamedes, you look hurt.

Would you like me to carry your sword?

PALAMEDES : 

Please. 

BORS : 

I’ll help you⎯

PALAMEDES : 

Bors.

I thought I told you to go find Arthur.

BORS : 

…I found Tristan on the way, and he needed help.

PALAMEDES : 

On the way here?

How did you get all the way up here, Tristan?

TRISTAN : 

I don’t know, Palamedes. I was already indoors when I woke up.

DINADAN : 

You probably flew right into it because of the shockwave,

like Bedi and I did.

I almost went right over the wall, but Bedi caught me. 

[ heave ho!! ]

TRISTAN : 

So that’s why he’s in such a foul mood…

DINADAN : 

Yeah, well, that,

and you rushing in like a dumbass.

GIANT : 

I knew you’d bring reinforcements,

even to deal with just one of us.

You may act all high and mighty…but you fear us,

and you’ll do whatever it takes to wipe us out, even the worst.

So, when I saw that thing…

I understood.

I understood…

…that a higher power had granted me their help.

ROUND TABLE TRIVIA

A knight goes on quests with their own horse, made ready for the occasion.

They can be accompanied by a squire who, most of the time, doesn’t own a horse themselves.

Renting a horse is expensive and goes on the knight’s tab, so there are several options : 

No mount : 

“Let’s go, comrade!” [ squire NPC is shook ]

Riding together : 

[awkward]

This is not a horse : 

“Mules are cheaper! Plus, they’re tough.”

OK but be careful : 

[ le stress ]
