not_a_clotpole: (Of Camelot)
The great Banquet Hall of Camelot has been decked out for this special occasion, banners of Pendragon red with the golden dragon in the centre.

The various nobles and knights of Camelot are dressed in their best tonight and the tables are laden with delicious food and dozens of candles flickering in golden candelabras. The servants (and Merlin) are in the background.

The King, the Crown Prince and the Lady Morgana are at the head table and the King rises to deliver a speech.

It's one of King Uther's better days, because magic isn't even mentioned once! Not even in reference to Morgana's disappearance and Arthur's finding her after all that time.

And so the party shall start! The wine will flow and the guests might get a bit rowdy after a while...

Feel free to approach the birthday boy!

That's a very good plan, Guinevere, Arthur hardly ever gets drunk, but it's not a pretty sight when he does.

When Guinevere returns he'll be chatting away with Sir Leon, laughing over something that happened in training.

Apparently Gwen knows this, and she knows that cutting him off, for the time being, at least, is the best way to avoid having someone carry an unconscious prince back to his chambers.

Due to lack of player the part of Sir Leon will be played by me...
The Camelot guards will thank Guinevere for this courtesy! Arthur hates been carried anywhere.

Sir Leon turns to her with a smile, he can't quite recall her name. "Tell me, miss, do the maids watch training often."

"'Course they do," Arthur retorts.

"In that case, do they ever find it...amusing to watch?"

"Sometimes I suppose we do." Gwen smiled at Sir Leon, and filled his cup. "It depends on what you're doing."

"Amusing!" Arthur is hurt. "We're a professional unit, keen, fighting fit, ready for action. We could never look silly."

The look Sir Leon gives Guinevere is clearly amused. "Do you agree, miss?"

Gwen looked between the two men, still smiling. "I don't recall saying silly, Sire. Just amusing."
not_a_clotpole: (Grrrr)

"Amusing? How can it be amusing if it's not silly?" Arthur pouts sadly. He turns to Leon. "This is all your fault...you're too damn tall, we look ridiculous when we fight against you."

Gwen was doing her best not to laugh at Arthur's pouting. "It's. amusing in the same way a tournament is amusing, Sire. Not because it's silly."
not_a_clotpole: (Aha!)

Arthur finally get is...drink has made him a little slow...

"Oh! You mean entertaining!" He turns to Leon. "She means entertaining." He repeats. "Told you," he waggles his finger at the other Knight.

"Yes, my lord, that's exactly what I mean." Keeping herself from laughing was getting more and more difficult.

"Are you fully satisifed I'm right?" Arthur addresses Sir Leon, who's losing the battle way more than Guinevere is at the minute.

"Of course, sire," bows respectfully.

"Good! Now what did you get your fearless leader for his birthday?"

"Aside from assurances that you're right, sire?"

Gwen took the change in subject as an excuse to escape for a few minutes, going to see how Merlin was doing and checking in on Morgana and the king. When she was satisfied that everyone was fine, she returned to Arthur. "Is there anything I can get you, Sire?"
not_a_clotpole: (I love you seriously...)

"Just your lovely self," Arthur at least still has control of the loudness of his voice. He smiles at her in a rather silly way...

"The knights have given me a new crossbow and a mace."

Now of course, these things can be provided by the royal armourer, but the chap is notoriously slow, so this is quite a gift!

"That sounds like a lovely gift. You can never have too many weapons."

Arthur's smile broadens. "Why Guinevere, I should have known you'd be able to appreciate weaponry."

But he's still a bit surprised.

"And your brother happened to finish my sword today...it's very impressive. I haven't got to use it much." Make a face at the rain still falling steadily outside.

"I'll be sure to let him know." Gwen noticed the face he was making at the rain. "You couldn't use it inside? I'm sure there's enough room somewhere in the castle."
not_a_clotpole: (Aha!)

Usually, waving swords about inside when there's not an attack on the castle is frowned upon.

But exceptions should be made for the birthday boy.

"That's a fine idea!" He gets to his feet and almost knocks over his goblet. He grins. "Shall we?"

Don't panic too much, Guinevere, Uther's attention is somewhere else.

"You want to go try it out now? Are you sure that's a good idea?" Gwen was glad she'd switched out his wine for water before it had the chance to do some real damage.
not_a_clotpole: (Sword Play!)

Arthur pauses and thinks for a while...no perhaps that's not the best option.

"Perhaps tomorrow, it may even have stopped raining, you can watch us training."

"If I have the time, I'd like that." She almost breathed a sigh of relief. "If I miss training, I'd still like to see the sword, if that's possible."
not_a_clotpole: (Oh Really?)

Arthur makes a note to figure out a way to make sure Guinevere can see him tomorrow. Damned if he actually know's how though.

"But of course! You mean your brother didn't show it to you?"
[identity profile] neverlostfaith.livejournal.com wrote:
Nov. 16th, 2010 05:48 am (UTC)
"No, he didn't. Something about me not wanting to ruin the surprise."

"Surprise, hmmm?" Arthur really can't think what it could be, but then he is feeling a bit addled at the moment.

"Well, you'll definitely have to come and see it. It's really the finest work I've ever seen."

Of course he never did get to see the sword Tom made...

Gwen looked around, extra careful to make sure nobody heard what she was going to say next. "Perhaps I could come see it when you're doing training tomorrow, when I come and pick up the laundry?"

If it's possible Arthur's grin broadens and looks even siller.

"Now that's a plan," he lowers his voice a bit more. "Training is three to five, don't forget now."
