KAY : 

I see a garden up there.

Looks like we can climb through here.

…Say, kid.

Can you focus for a minute? 

We’ve got work to do. 

PERCIVAL : 

…

I want…

( What do I want, exactly?

Not to be a knight anymore?

To go home?

I’m tired.

Tired of standing still, paralyzed by the consequences of my own actions,

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

I’ve got to make things right, and in order 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 Pendragon bloodline,

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.

Point is, he’ll recover.

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 you done with the questions? Can we go now? 

PERCIVAL : 

One more thing…

KAY : 

Hm?

PERCIVAL : 

…Thank you…

…for saving me…

[ embarrassed ]

KAY : 

That’s my job.

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

Welcome to the Round Table. 

As for you...

… your aim's not half-bad. 

PERCIVAL : 

…Really? I saved your life.

KAY : 

You didn’t save shit.

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 alright, sir?

TRISTAN : 

I’m perfectly fine! 

…

BORS : 

Are you ready to go, 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 get a move on and find Arthur now.

Let’s go.

TRISTAN : 

What about the giantess? 

BEDIVERE : 

Dealt with.

Speaking of which…

Next time you ignore one of my orders

and rush in head first like an idiot, you're next. 

You’re not working on your own, we’re 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'd better hurry. 

GALAHAD : 

Sir Palamedes, you look hurt.

Would you like me to carry your sword for you?

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. When I woke up, I was already there.

DINADAN : 

You probably got thrown right into it because of the shockwave,

like Bedi and I were.

I almost went right over the walls, 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.

[ they're interrupted by the sight of the wyvern dragging something by a chain. the ground shakes. ]

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.

So, when I saw that thing…

I understood.

I understood…

…that a higher power had heard my plea.

ROUND TABLE TRIVIA

A knight goes on quests with their own horse, all kitted out for the occasion.

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

Renting a horse is expensive and the money comes out of the knight’s purse, 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 ]
