TRISTAN :
Careful, my sweet.
ISEULT :
I swear, if you tell me to be careful one more time
while I’m climbing these fucking stairs…
...I’m going to strangle you with⎯
PERCIVAL :
Take my hand, my queen.
ISEULT :
Why, thank you, Percival. ( How gallant! )
I’m glad you came along.
PERCIVAL :
So am I, my queen.
TRISTAN :
With such fair weather, we could go hunting every morning! And we’ll perfect your training too!
PERCIVAL :
( Yes! )
PERCIVAL, ISEULT :
…
[ mark waits for them at the top of the stairs. tristan kneels to him. ]
TRISTAN :
My king.
MARK :
…
…On your feet.
You look lovely, my dear.
I see we’ve got an unexpected guest…
…and I’m not talking about the young Welshman,
though he too comes as a surprise.
EVERYONE :
…
MARK :
No, it’s not…
…
…We’ll discuss all of this once you’ve gotten some rest. Please, come in.
[ food!! ]
SERVANT :
Sir Kay.
Sir Kay!
KAY :
What?
SERVANT :
Sir Bedivere just got back.
[ NYOOM isn’t it cute!! ]
KAY :
Get back to work!
ARTHUR :
So, to sum it up…
The Germanic want an alliance, but if we refuse, they’ll go and seek one elsewhere…
Uriens wants nothing to do with it because of land disputes…
KAY :
Are you surprised?
ARTHUR :
About Uriens, or the Germanic?
KAY :
…Yes.
ARTHUR :
Unsurprising, indeed.
What about the ultimatum we sent Lancelot… ?
BEDIVERE :
Hold on, I’ll review it for you.
Tristan and Iseult are going back to Cornwall.
Oh, and Iseult’s expecting.
ARTHUR :
Oh?
BEDIVERE :
She looked just about ready to drop, I think?
I haven’t seen so many pregnant people, so I couldn’t say.
KAY :
…Ugh. I’m going to have to send Mark well-wishes, aren’t I?
ARTHUR :
And Guinevere… ?
I take it she won’t be coming back… ?
BEDIVERE :
…
Not quite.
She’s publicly distancing herself from Lancelot.
But she’ll be staying in Salisbury, in Uther’s old court.
She needs time to think, Arthur.
ARTHUR :
…
What else?
BEDIVERE :
…
Well, Tristan and Dinadan had a row over this whole business.
Dinadan rode off, but it’s not the first time.
BRUNOR :
Heh, he’ll come back once he’s let off some steam.
BEDIVERE :
Brunor headed back to Estrangore.
It’s a long story, but Palamedes and Mordred will be joining Galahad on the Grail Quest.
Lancelot and Bors are staying in Joyous Guard, and…
Ah, yes, Percival’s accompanying Tristan and Iseult to Tintagel.
That’s it, more or less.
KAY, BEDIVERE :
…
KAY :
…
So, what’s the plan?
ARTHUR :
What plan?
KAY :
The plan for everything. The Germanic, Lancelot, the Grail… ?
ARTHUR :
I have no idea.
More than ever, I feel like I’ve got to handle everything at once.
An alliance with the Germanic is unthinkable, but were we to try to push them back, it’d quickly become a problem.
What to do about the different kingdoms? How can we keep them happy?
What to do about the Grail, when these matters go beyond our own world… ?
BEDIVERE :
Arthur…
ARTHUR :
And with Morgan casting her shadow over all our heads⎯
KAY :
Morgan’s been missing for months, Arthur.
ARTHUR :
That’s the thing.
What is she plotting?
She must be waiting for an opportunity to act,
and I believe it’s getting closer with every passing day.
[ speak of the devil…or the witch! ]
MORGAN :
Hello, Guinevere.
Have you a moment to spare for me?
