GALAHAD

( I still remember the look on her face

the first time she saw me. 

Such horror, such fear…

Like something buried deep down within her

had only now surfaced again. 

Lionel made some comment.

Bors didn’t push the issue.

One year later, she broke her vows to Arthur. 

Once…

I made the mistake of calling her “mother”. But only once. 

Bors was the one to take me out of the hospice...

from the moment he met me, he knew. )


BORS

You do have some of her looks, that’s true.

But, it’s also the name she gave you. She was also called Galahad, a long time ago.

It was her birth name. 

Viviane changed it

to protect her, I think.


GALAHAD

( Galahad… 

The one she no longer was.

Galahad was dead to her.

Galahad should never have been born.

Galahad…

…is who I’ll proudly be,

all on my own. )


[ footsteps ]


GALAHAD

Are you done? 


LANCELOT

…We’re leaving soon. 

Go get your horse ready.


[ galahad gets up to leave ; lancelot catches her by the arm. ]


LANCELOT

…You have what it takes to become a knight. 

Do not doubt it.

It’s true that you still make mistakes.

You’ll make others. We all do. 

Your duty is to ensure you’ll never make the same mistake twice.


GALAHAD

…Why makes you so certain I want to stay with Bors for his own good

to the point of undermining my own chances of getting knighted?


LANCELOT

…Because I feel the same.

[ she lets go of galahad. ]

Bors needs help, someone to look after him.

But it’s not up to you to make sure he recovers.


GALAHAD

But I want to help him.

If I could make it so that he no longer had to suffer, I⎯


LANCELOT

You can’t. 

You did all you could.

Now, only time will bring him the peace he seeks. 

That, too, is what it means to be a knight.

You have to accept that, no matter how much you wish you could help everyone, you can’t. But…

…we must always try our best, for others are counting on us. 


GALAHAD : …

I see.

Who knows…

…maybe one day, you too

will allow yourself to rely on others. 


LANCELOT

… [ sighs ]

Who knows. 


[ back to the physical fighting we go! ]


GAWAIN

Palamedes, you’re up!


[ pal leaps up and slices the hand off the creature woo! ]


GAWAIN

Get down! 


PALAMEDES

Damn it! It’s not showing any sign of weakness, no matter what we do!

Good thing it’s not very reactive…


GAWAIN

C’mon, it can’t be invincible! 


MORDRED

Are you okay, Percival?


PERCIVAL

Y-yeah…

Did you get the lance…? 


MORDRED

It’s guarding it too closely.

[ has a revelation ]

That arrow in its back…! 

That’s its weak spot! 

PERCIVAL! 


PERCIVAL

Give me…

…my brother back!


[ LET’S GOOOO MY SON ]


PALAMEDES

Percival, is everything alright?


PERCIVAL :

 … Yes, I think so… 

[ his hands are sizzling bruh ]


GAWAIN

Good!

It’d be a shame for you to get hurt when we just got our hands on something that can save your beloved brother.

You’ll tell him it’s a gift from Gawain, hm? 

Well…

…if Merlin’s right, that is. 



ROUND TABLE TRIVIA

Animals are a staple of daily life : they’re kept as livestock, for utilitarian purposes, and sometimes even as pets.

[ livestock, utilitarian, hunting game ]

Livestock, farm animals and “utilitarian” animals often end up serving as pets as well.


NPC

Better not to get too attached to livestock, though…

[ the aptly-named “Magret” ]


For example, Camelot has hunting hounds and cats meant to keep out the rodents, but…

[ Mimi, kitchen cat / Bitey and Chewy, hunting dogs ]

…it’s not uncommon to find them lazing by the fireplace with their favorite humans.
