From training today.

The snow is still shin deep so it couldn't be held outside of course...but after showing off to Guinevere the other day I figured the Main Hall wouldn't be such a bad place to practice, there's no feasts on, the tables are all pushed back, so there's plenty of room.

What I didn't consider was Merlin...who managed to knock over every single shield of the Camelot Knight while trying to pick up mine.

The NOISE! The echo in that Hall is uttery ridiculous! It was painful and as I've written, my ears are still ringing! This better go away by tomorrow, Father is having me sit in on a Council Meeting, I have to take minutes which means I have to be able to hear!

Bloody Merlin...

Obviously, I have to stop giving him chores that involve carrying heavy implements. Or stick him back on mucking out the stables, that ought to build some uper body strength.

I give up.
