Behind the Dorms, Tuesday Afternoon

[bitchprince]

They'd made the call on radio last week. Arthur had gained permission from the Lady of the Castle. Now, there was the mere hope that people were actually interested. Arthur stood by the dorm walls, leaning his back gently against it. He was trying to keep the pressure off of his bandage. He considered both of his compatriots with an idle glance. "So," he said. "With any luck, this won't be long."

"Eh, they can take all the time they want," Reno mused, idly patting down his pockets to see if he'd brought his smokes. He hadn't. "It ain't like I'm goin' anywhere anytime too soon, yo. It'll probably take a while to whip people here into shape, anyhow."

"You're telling me," Arthur said, dryly. It didn't keep him from tossing the occasional watchful, antsy glance 'round the corner to see if anyone was coming. He was a little out of his depth here.

"Won't be all that bad, yo." Reno gave up on hunting down the smokes altogether. "If they don't listen, just kick 'em harder'n they can kick you, and it'll all fall into place."

"Oh, I'm not worried about that," Arthur replied. He had enough confidence in that department. Except not really, but it wouldn't help any of them if he voiced that. "Merely about numbers." Odds were always on his mind around here.

"If only three people show up," Reno decided, "that's just when you kick 'em harder still. Make it count."

Well, Arthur supposed he could live with that.

"Gwynn Hood. I've been using a bow and a sword since I was a child as there was always some sort of battle for Briton going on. I'm best with a bow, but they tell me I'm pretty well learned with a sword as well. I'm not so good at up close combat or fighting hand to hand."

"Long range, then," Arthur noted. "You're from Briton?"

He'd... heard the name bandied around for Albion, yes.

She nodded. "Yes, I am. I've served as knight under King Phillip."

"I haven't heard of King Phillip," Arthur said, carefully, but something else-- "You're a knight, then." Weird.

She nodded. "My father served his father and now I serve him."

Well, when he wasn't being dumb and trying to protect her and forgetting that she was better in combat than he was... or when she wasn't saving him because he became cocky and landed in trouble...

"It's... honourable of you to pick up your father's duties," he said. He wasn't sure what he felt about female knights in his lands around what sounded a lot like his times.
