Arthurian Legend RP

"I'm sorry, Hilly," Charlotte repeated. "But some people would try to kill me. The more people who know the greater the chance of it getting out."

Mordred shrugged. "Ignore me; I'm too dark for my own good."

Hilly nodded a little. "Why do people want to kill you?"

Mythian kissed his shoulder, collar, neck then finally kissed his lips. "I still love you"

"They're scared of my kind," Charlotte shrugged. "They often believe we're demons."

Mordred's eyes closed at her touch and didn't open as he kissed her back. "Thank you, my Red Lady."

Hilly frowned "are you a demon?I don't think you are"

Mythian smiled at him. "I need no thanks"

"Of course not," Charlotte snapped. "I'm a part of nature."

Mordred smiled back. "No, you deserve more than I could ever give you."

Hilly smiled "see! You are perfectly fine!"

Mythian shook her head "you give me everything"

Charlotte laughed. "Thank you, Hilly."

"I'm glad," he grinned.

Hilly smiled "have you been okay?"

Mythian nodded and kissed him again.

"What do you mean?" Charlotte asked, tilting her head.

Mordred kissed her back then stroked her hair. "Rest, my lady."

Hilly shrugged "Well, I left, and you were alone..."

Mythian nodded and snuggled up to him. "Stay with me?"

Charlotte smiled. "I've been fine. I get along with the company well enough."

"Of course," Mordred promised, holding her close.

Hill nodded "what about that man who saved you ...tried to save you from the fire?"

Mythian laid her head on his chest.

"I haven't seen him since that night," she shrugged. "I wish I had."

Gawain entered the castle reluctantly.

Hilly thought for a moment. "I know! Let's go to the castle and fine him!"

Arthur sat on his thrown. Waiting for Gawain.

"I'm not sure that's wise," Charlotte frowned.

Coming into the throne room, Gawain bowed low. "My king. You wished to speak with me?"

Hilly frowned "why not?"

Arthur nodded "Gawain, you promised not to disappear, then you come with a lovely wife, but uncivilized wife"

Charlotte shifted uneasily. "I shouldn't go after him."

Gawain winced. "I wanted to contact you, and uncivilized or not she is my wife. I'm working on it."

Hilly frowned "why not?"

Arthur crossed his arms "tell me what happened that prevented your return"

"He's a knight and I'm a common gypsy, not to mention fire," she replied softly.

"My mother had me locked away for several days," Gawain said, avoiding his uncle's eyes.

Hilly frowned "Gawain is a Knight and a Prince....were married"

Arthur pursed his lips "how did that come about if you were at the festival?"

"I suppose so," Charlotte admitted. "But he doesn't judge based on social class."

Gawain winced. "I left a bit early and happened to get caught. She wanted me to convince Mordred to take the throne but I refused."

"Neither will the one you fancy!" Hilly exclaimed.

Arthur nodded rubbing his temples. "Civilize your bride, otherwise I have no interest in seeing her. Thank you for refusing to help your mother.

Charlotte hesitated before sighing. "Okay, I'll go. But you should probably wait for Gawain."

"I'm doing my best," Gawain muttered. "She's not an easy student." Then, meeting his uncle's gaze, he offered a small smile. "And you're welcome. You're more of a family than she is." Gawain shifted uneasily before asking, "Have you spoken with Mordred since the announcement?"

Hilly frowned "okay...."

Arthur sighed. 'do you need someone to help you teach your wife? And no, I have not spoken with Mordred"

Giving her a quick hug, Charlotte grinned. "Don't worry. Hang out with the company; they all really missed you."

Gawain shook his head. "I'll handle my wife. You really should talk to him, to figure things out. He doesn't want the crown and you are his father. The least you could do is acknowledge his existence and try not to hate him."

Hilly nodded frowning "I'll miss you"

Arthur shrugged and hunched forward "maybe...I need to think, you may go unless you wished to speak"

"I'll be back," Charlotte told her. Giving her one last hug, she left the tent and started for the castle. When she got there however, she paused, starting to question the wisdom of this idea.


Gawain bowed low. "Please speak to him. It'll be good for both of you." Then he left, wanting to return to Hilly's side.

Lancelot was in the training area, practicing shooting an arrow.

Hilly was hugging around a ponies neck when Gawain appeared. "GAWAIN!"

Charlotte watched from a distance, hesitant to approach.

Gawain smiled. "Hey, Hilly. Miss me?"

Lancelot didn't notice her until he went to sip some water. He took a big gulp then walked over. "Didn't think I'd see you again"

Hilly nodded. She ran over and jumped on Gawain.
