Great, now I ship the squire who helped the knight out of his armor with the lady-in-waiting who had to explain the basics of intercourse to the princess while undressing her and taking her hair down.
They are so stressed and tired, it had been a long day even BEFORE the drunken king gave his blessing for the tournament winner to be wed to his daughter and everyone suddenly had to scramble up a royal wedding. Now they just want a cup of wine and a lie-down, but they've got to be within earshot in case the lovebirds get in over their heads.
They're just sitting on the floor in the servant's passage keeping half an ear open for Bad Noises, passing a bottle back and forth and trading tidbits of info on the sir and lady. Secretly impressed that the other can keep up with their drinking. She's a decade older than him but her first husband died ages ago and left her some money, so she's still a catch. And his master just married as up as you can go, so his own fortunes are looking quite promising.
At some point they stop talking and just look at each other, tired and smirking and a little drunk. It's been a fine day, full of horses and crowds and celebrations, and as they lean in to each other, it seems to be shaping into a fine night as well.
