Round Table Texts

How would y’all feel if I started a Substack to repost the archive while I’m trying to get my shot together? I figure by the time we make it to the end of what I’ve written so far I’ll have some new content (which would be posted here as well as on Substack once we get to that point).

My buffer ran out, so I wanted to let everyone know there probably won’t be any updates this week.  (I had to go to the emergency room Friday night for an allergy/asthma attack and I’m still pretty drained.)

Mordred: Kay, Agravaine and Gawain had to come get us from that camping trip.

Galahad: And you've resented it ever since.

Mordred: Payback's a bitch. Besides, we needed to bring tack. Do you know what happened the last time Gringolet lost his bridle?

Galahad: Are you going to tell me or am I supposed to guess?

Mordred: Do we? What's the errand.

Agravaine: Aunt Morgan wants us to go rescue Gawain and Ywaine.

Mordred: We're in.

Mordred: What are we rescuing them from?

Agravaine: All I know is we're supposed to bring a change of clothes for the idiots and new tack for their horses.

Mordred: There's no way this isn't massively embarrassing.

Agravaine: So you'll be along shortly?

Gawain: You got lost?

Ywaine: Not exactly.

Gawain: Do you need rescued?

Ywaine: Please don't make this harder than it has to be.

Ywaine: Uh, just went to get something to eat.

Gawain: You left me alone!

Ywaine: It was broad daylight.

Gawain: I wasn't paying attention.

Ywaine: That doesn't make you less dangerous, and anyway Gringolet was guarding you.

Gawain: You left a horse in charge.

Agravaine: What did you do?

Ywaine: I don't know! He won't talk to me.

Agravaine: He's fine.

Ywaine: He hasn't moved in HOURS!

Agravaine: He's just brooding.

Ywaine: That doesn't seem right.

Agravaine: Yeah, well, it's within normal parameters. Let me know if he doesn't take care of Gringolet.

Ywaine: Why? Is that a sign?

Agravaine: A sign you should run before you get eaten, yes.

Ywaine: I should've stayed in Camelot.

Agravaine: Okay.

Gawain: Thus rescuing two villages.

Agravaine: Cool.

Gawain: Are you mocking me?

Agravaine: Why would I do that?

Gawain: Because I didn't set out to rescue the villagers, I just stumbled across them while running away from an emotional confrontation.

Agravaine: I didn't say that.

Gawain: You didn't have to.

Gawain: What?

Agravaine: We've talked about the whole running away thing.

Gawain: I'm not running away from anything.

Agravaine: Then what are you doing?

Gawain: Running toward something.

Agravaine: And that something is?

Agravaine: I'm waiting.

Gawain: Shut up.

Agravaine: You know there are people who think talking about their feelings is easier than running off to fight monsters and bandits.

Morgan: He's a knight. It's what they do.

Kay: Yeah, but he's with Gawain.

Morgan: Why?

Kay: I dunno, but the last time Gawain rode off with a kid we got Gaheris back.

Morgan: Because he was so pleasant prior?

Kay: I mean...

Morgan: Are you just trying to get me to spy on them for you? Because all you have to do is ask.

Kay: Would you?

Gawain: Who are you again?

Ywaine: Your cousin Ywaine? Please don't ignore me! It's bad enough Gareth and Mordred went to look at Gaheris's new puppies without me.

Gawain: Wait, there's a new litter?

Gawain: And they didn't invite me?!

Ywaine: They didn't invite me either.

Gawain: I thought you were allergic.

Ywaine: I thought you were above feeling left out.

Mordred: Have you forgotten the scars on my legs and your arms?

Gareth: Lyonesse and Lynette will be there.

Mordred: In that case, I'm in.

Gareth: Bring Galahad.
