Arthurian Legend RP

Mythian shook her head "well perhapes you should learn them, i'm not comfortable with someone pockig around my areas"

"I'm sorry," Mordred replied. "Maybe I will, but right now you need to see a real doctor."

Mythian huffed "but i'm fine and so is my baby"

"Too bad," he replied. "You're still seeing the doctor. You're not winning this."

Mythian scowled at him "why don't you love me?'

"If I didn't love you, I wouldn't be taking care of you," Mordred retorted.

Mythian shook her head and huffed "But I feel fine"

"And I want to confirm that you are fine," Mordred sighed. There was a gentle knock at the door and he called, "Send him in." The door swung open to reveal the doctor who had discovered the poison. "Thank you for coming," Mordred nodded, while keeping an eye on Mythian.

Mythian was glaring bitterly at the doctor "tour services are not needed" she said harshly, crossing her arms.

"His services are needed," Mordred told her sternly. "The sooner you cooperate the sooner he can leave." He gestured for the doctor to proceed. "I'll make sure she doesn't cause any trouble," he said while giving Mythian a warning glare that told her he'd use magic if he had to.

Mythian glared back at him then fell silent, she laid back on the bed.

The doctor, clearly nervous and wanting to be anywhere else, proceeded to look Mythian and Ruth over while Mordred watched a pace or two away. As the doctor withdrew, Mordred asked, "How are they?"

"They're both healthy," the doctor reported. "Whoever delivered the child did a good job."

Color rose in Mordred's cheeks before he took a deep breath. "Thank you, doctor. Your pay is waiting for you downstairs."

Mythian glared again "oh it appears as though I was right"

As the doctor hurried away, Mordred returned the glare. "You also said that when you were poisoned," he snapped back. With a sigh, he joined her on the bed. "And now I know that both of you are safe." His voice was full of relief as he gently stroked Ruth's head.

Mythian looked down "I don't like doctors" she mumbled and school her head.  She looked at Ruth  "He said you did a good job"

Ignoring her comment on doctors, Mordred laughed softly. "And that was the second biggest surprise of my life." He shook his head. "I didn't even know what I was doing."

Mythian smiled "what was the biggest surprise of your life?"

"Falling in love and having her love me back," Mordred replied, kissing her forehead.

Mythian smiled a little and nodded "I didn't know people like us were capable of love"

"Neither did I," Mordred admitted. "But apparently we are, and I don't ever want to lose it."

Mythian nodded "of course we won't, we deserve it"

Mordred kissed her lightly. "Yes, we do."

Mythian smiled then held Ruth.

Gawain leaned against the wall, watching Hilly. Over the past few months he'd been doing his best to train her in the ways of nobility and he wasn't sure how well it was sticking. "What are you not supposed to touch in the castle?" he asked, testing her.

Hilly considered for a moment, she really was struggling "everything?"

Gawain nodded. "Correct. Unless you're given permission, you don't touch anything." Gesturing to the table he'd set up like that of a feast, he asked, "Which fork do you use first? Which spoon is for soup?"

Hilly walked over to the table. "They all look the same!"

"It's about where they're placed," he reminded her gently. Pointing the fork furthest on the left, he said, "This is the one you use first, usually for a salad. The soup spoon," he moved his hand to the spoon furthest to the right, "is this one."

Hilly shook her head "what does it matter?"

"You'll be allowed back in the palace," Gawain reminded her.
