[ Video; Both Courts ]

[knightscode]

[ 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.

Not that I can think of, although... [ RUEFUL SMILE. ] There is a chance I simply might not know them.

[ Lancelot's school for kids who can't read good & want to learn to do other stuff good too. ]

[Like be knights!]

Boudica springs to mind. She led an uprising in Albion against the Romans.

[ GOOD MAN YOU SAID ALBION INSTEAD OF SOMETHING ELSE. Lancelot blinks curiously. ]

Tell me about her? If you don't mind.

[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.

[gordianknots]

--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.

[knightscode]

[ 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'.

[gordianknots]

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

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