DINADAN :
Go on, you two.
I’m watching you!
?? :
You want me to fight one of your squires?
You must be joking, right?
DINADAN :
Oh no, not one of my squires.
Both at once.
MORDRED :
?!
But it’s against the code to have allies for a duel.
The word is “duel”, as in two.
DINADAN :
If you care about your dear old code so much…
… you should know that it's against the rules for several knights to go up in a duel against one.
Are you a knight, now?
That’s what I thought.
I watched you train for days.
Now, show me what it was for.
?? :
… I have yet to accept, sir.
Why would I fight squires…
… when I could pit myself against a knight?
DINADAN :
It’s not uncommon for a good squire to give a mediocre knight some trouble.
So, two at once?
Something tells me…
… that such a challenge couldn’t possibly be refused.
?? :
… Are they promising?
DINADAN :
Yes, yes.
…probably…
… maybe.
… I should’ve paid closer attention to your training.
MORDRED :
Seriously??
I don’t see why we should do this for your sake.
DINADAN :
Not my sake, Mordred.
Think of your sister
and how heartbroken she will be
when she learns you refused to defend my honor.
Me, who holds it in such high regard!
Tragic.
MORDRED :
Have you no shame?!
DINADAN :
No.
Go on, I’ll watch you from here.
And I’ll cheer you on with love!
Maybe I'll find inspiration in your martial prowess.
?? :
… Well.
So it is up to us three, then.
MORDRED :
It doesn’t seem to bother you very much, at any rate.
?? :
To go up against squires?
If you’re brave enough to stand up to me, then no, it doesn't.
I can’t deny that I’m curious.
MORDRED :
Aren’t you going to keep your shield?
?? :
No need.
Come closer.
MORDRED :
Percival.
Don’t get in my way and it should be fine.
PERCIVAL :
How do you expect me to⎯
Hey!
?? :
Wrong call.
[more fighting]
?? :
Dead.
If I’d let my blows land, you'd be dead already.
So?
Do you yield?
Dead⎯
dead⎯
Oof, very, very dead,
both of you.
Is that all you’ve got?
Disappointing,
even for squires.
Are you not afraid I’ll hurt them, knight?
DINADAN :
Physically, you mean?
‘cause it’s mostly your words hurting them right now, if you want my opinion.
MORDRED :
If you knew how to position yourself right, we wouldn’t be here!
PERCIVAL :
How do you expect me to know where you’re going to go?
MORDRED :
It’s a matter of common sense!
If you were used to carrying a sword, you⎯
PERCIVAL :
Well, I'm not, I just started my train⎯
?? :
It’s ill-advised to have a chat in the middle of a fight.
[ more fighting ]
DINADAN :
Oof, okay,
that must’ve hurt.
MORDRED :
Hey! Are you not going to step in instead of⎯
?? :
Do you perhaps think he should sweep in and save you in the middle of a fight?
If you can’t hold your own, you’re a burden to your teammates.
DINADAN :
Hm, personally, I'd say there is strength in unity,
but that’s the problem.
You can’t cooperate for jack, lads.
?? :
True, I didn’t have to do much.
You sabotage each other.
Tsk, you’re such a bore.
I expected at least a bit of a challenge.
Maybe finishing you off here will teach your friend a lesson,
and keep you from shaming yourself as a kn⎯
PERCIVAL :
Hey!
… It’s ill-advised to have a chat in the middle of a fight.
?? :
Oh.
Oh!!
Aha! Nice shot, kid!
You nearly got me right through the head, good job!
Did you see that??
DINADAN :
Haha, yes!
Reminds me of that one time you nearly poked Kay's eye out with your sword.
?? :
Yes!
He pushed the blade to the side at the very last second too, it was incredi⎯
…
Very well. What gave me away?
DINADAN :
I figured it out pretty much as soon as you opened your mouth.
?? :
Nah, after a couple sentences, maybe?
DINADAN :
Hey, after all this time, I can recognize your voice.
?? :
You say this, but
it worked on Lamorak the other day.
DINADAN :
( Oh, he came this way? )
Lamorak didn’t have to deal with you for months on end.
?? :
Oh, of course. You didn’t miss me, then?
DINADAN :
Should I have?
?? :
Right, fake it all you want.
Bring it in, bring it in!
(hug)
DINADAN :
You wanted to beat the stuffing out of me ten minutes ago??
?? :
No, I wanted to fight you.
DINADAN :
You would’ve made me eat dirt in about five minutes, it’s basically the same.
( There, there. )
MORDRED :
… Sir Tristan?
PERCIVAL :
( Huh?
That’s Tristan? )
TRISTAN :
Hey.
I didn’t hurt you too badly, did I?
