[ This video feed is focused mostly on a Lancelot's dog, so all that is really seen of him is his hands holding her still. She's terribly curious about it, but he's restraining her from licking it or chewing it.

His voice is distinctly tired, and anyone who is paying attention will notice that you can just about see a line of red, raw skin on his wrists -- leather guards covering how heavy the damage might be. ]

Is anyone good with names? I'm afraid my friend here has gone too long without one. She's brave, curious but cautious, much cleverer than I am...

[ She's also turning to nudge his hands. He lifts one gently and pets at her ears. She squirms a little, shakes her head -- then makes a quiet, high-pitched sound and...

... hiccups a tiny fireball. The dog's ears flatten back, perhaps unhappy or apologetic (maybe embarrassed, it wasn't very elegant) but Lancelot just huffs amusement and strokes her again. ]

Forgive me, I almost forgot, it seems these -- [ He reaches out of the frame and his hand comes back holding a small, blue feather. ] -- have some kind of magic in them. It appears it does not discriminate in who it grants it to.

[ Which means he now has a small, magically inclined dog. ]

Thank you for your time.

[LANCELOT WE GOTTA TALK ABOUT NAME CHANGES TO YOUR HOME COUNTRY!]

My memory's fuzzy, it's been a while since I read the information, but she was essentially queen of one of the tribes who lead an uprising against the Romans. She was apprehended, but chose to take her own life rather than be sold into slavery or killed by the enemy.

[ NAW BRO ALBION IS ALBION.

He frowns down at his dog, though, tilts his head at her. ]

I hope her ending is not as sad.

--Good point. [Waver takes a good look at the puppy, and sighs.]

It's weird that it's this hard to come up with a name.

[ queerly the sight makes her flinch, perhaps because it is so similar to her own experiences. for all intents and purposes she should not care, lancelot ruined her plans once yet she cannot find the anger she is certain she should be feeling.

the raven crows again and is suddenly visible, head twitching as it stares at both lancelot and his dog. ]

I want you to come to Mair willingly, or I shall fetch you myself. [ the presence of her bird tells her much, it proves that certainly is not far from mair. close enough that she could retrieve him swiftly. ]

Mair?

[ That's an Unseelie stronghold. Morgana is Unseelie.

It does not surprise him that they are on opposing sides, so he supposes in turn she might guess he is not on hers. ]

Forgive me if I dare to ask why?

[ she already knows he is of the seelie even without him saying so, she knows this knight too well to assume he is of the unseelie. ]

Your life is not in danger, just indulge me. [ truly she doesn't mean him any harm, though to announce her intentions... ]

It will be if I walk into Mair. I have already walked into one Unseelie stronghold, my lesson has been learned harshly.

[ her brow furrows, this is not wholly unexpected. they were enemies in camelot and here it is hardly different, even so─ ]

I will walk you inside myself, does that sooth your concerns?

[ He debates this, turning over the thought in his head. ]

Would you also swear to walk me out, safe and unharmed?

Do not be. I let my heart sway my head too far. I am only glad that we all survived, and that most of us emerged unharmed.

Yes, I swear it.

A bit, as I know many animals. They all speak in their own way and I can understand them.

[She looks like a happy pup.]

I do not doubt you will catch on quickly. Especially with so patient a dog.

Could happen to anyone.

[He knows about that a lot better now. His heart had taken over completely once his mission was done.]

But the fact that there weren't any casualties is all thanks to you. And speaking of unharmed, have you had anyone take a look at your wrists?

Edited 2014-09-21 13:05 (UTC)

[ Why this though. Why this.

He lets go of the dog long enough to tug at his wrist guards ineffectively, as if he could pull them down further. ]

I have not had the chance, I have yet to make it back to court, but I am keeping everything clean.

[ On the one hand, this is a terrible idea.

Morgana ripped the veil, deceived Camelot and Arthur and --

He's pretty sure Arthur would lose his mind if he knew what was happening.

On the other, they do not have to fight here. The courts may wish them enemies but there is no Camelot. For all he knows she might not even be aware Arthur is here. ]

I will turn towards Mair. Meet me part way.

[ He hesitates. ]

Not because I fear you, but some natives to the courts -- they can sense your allegiance even if you wish no quarrel. I do not belong in Mair, I might raise an alarm and cause you trouble.

Did you care for many, then? In your home?

[ A farmer, perhaps? Hound master? Stable hand? He's not sure what that kind of skill translates to, but it certainly is a skill -- to be good with animals on the whole, understand them. ]

[Because Steve is an unofficial den mother, it is known.]

I think you should get that looked at a little sooner than that. How far are you from the Station?

[ You are terrible at story time, Waver. Terrible. Lance is never asking you for a bedtime story be bets it'd end with everyone dying. ]

Perhaps we overcomplicate. Perhaps her name should be something simple. Perhaps she should just be 'Brave'.

[Story of Waver's life, kind of.]

That might work. And you can always add on nick-names.

Maybe. I hope so.

[He peers in a little bit, angles his head down and lifts his eyes - to the puppy. Tentatively starts in the soft, lilting way he's been talked to by sympathetic humans on the streets before he met other wolves, or how he imagines one talks to a child. (It makes him feel a little older than he normally does, but he's not pretending anything.]

Hey...! Maybe you're not old enough to really talk yet -- but that was one of the coolest things anyone's ever done, you know? Running out and getting us a rescue all by yourself, and leading those other wolves to where they took us...

You gotta be brave and smart to do all that as fast as you did.

[ how foolish, he should fear her after all she has done. but truly she does not know what he remembers and what he does not, he may not even experienced the veil tearing or her sister's immortal army taking over camelot. ]

Very well. [ with that her locket goes dark. the time between her last words and her appearance is not long, her horse is saddled before she even reaches the stables. and finding him is no arduous task. she is before him not long after, on the other side of the river.

her raven crows again (turning invisible once more) and flies for her, landing upon her shoulder. ]

Bodies are resilient that way. Even so, I could help it along, if you'll let me?

[ And her ears are folded in her hair passively, earnestly. ]

[ her text is off topic and she don't care. #yolo] you were loyal to my lord father?

[ ARYA STARK WHY ARE YOU MAKING LETTERS AT HIM

At least they are small words. He is too tired to try to explain so he just slowly. Figures it out.

Then gives the shortest answer possible. ]

Yes.

[ RIGHT HE CAN'T READ. WHOOPS. well, she was just making sure so... it's voice time.]

I need a promise from you then.
