Just Outside The Main Gate, Saturday Morning

[bitchprince]

Much like the previous day, Saturday found Arthur venturing back down to the barricade. It was early, the sunlight was yet shallow and leaning towards overcast, and only the first warbles of birds became evident as he slogged at the thing.

At least it had remained intact overnight. He was in full armor yet again, with shamelessly modded Merlin at his side. He'd stayed quiet opposite the boy most of the time, barring talk of strategy. The magic was something that'd have to be discussed again if they managed to survive this whole mess.

He climbed up so he could take a quick survey of the town. Watching the still forms lumber about, he felt a chill settling in his bones. There was only one word he could use to describe it.

"Bugger," he muttered, succinctly, and ran a hand through his hair. Sometimes, he had a knack for brevity.

"He doesn't like the food here," Chad offered helpfully.

Because that was somehow important.

"And wears armor." It was totally important.

"What's wrong with armour?" Chad asked, lifting his palm and looking down into his armoured hand.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"Metal armor," Teddy amended. "Yours is much cooler."

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," Chad smiled a little.

"But he's from the middle ages. Everyone wore armour then."

"He is?" Sure, he knew Iron Lad. But time travel was still pretty cool.

"Yep," Chad said, nodding. "So he's probably weird because everything here's weird."

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"Probably." Weird. "Remind me to try talking to him again sometime."

Or never. Probably never.

Chad nodded. "He's a cool guy," he said, although he was kind of obligated to, since the guy was family.

Chad had the biggest damn family around. "You gonna come up to rest tonight?" Why yes, that was an offer of his room.

"After I feed the cats."

Who were safe in the closet.
