[Breaking up a tavern brawl, outnumbered]

Pre-Series 4 Arthur here :OP not_a_clotpole October 20 2011, 07:12:26 UTC
[Arthur's beginning to suspect that the Rising Sun is just some people's excuse to get rowdy.

With a woman in attendance!

Arthur throws himself into the fray.]

[Arturia fights her way skillfully through the crowd, putting men down (but not wounding them too badly) and making some room for herself to prepare for any new challengers who might surface. She finds Arthur eventually and, in the heat of the brawl, mistakes him for yet another of the troublemakers.

Arthur had better watch out, because he's got a rather skillful and highly unladylike punch coming in his general direction.]

That's OK! not_a_clotpole November 2 2011, 11:43:47 UTC
[Arthur doesn't expect to see a woman throwing punches, but he's got very quick reflexes, like the knight he is, and ducks.]

"What are you doing?!"

[It's quite a show of restraint to keep that question free of any less than polite language - she almost took his head off after all.]

[She might have missed, but that doesn't mean the princess is finished yet. Seeking out fights is ladylike and uncouth, but this? This is just defending herself.

And getting a little practice in on the side.]

Winning a fight. [She steps back and brandishes a quarterstaff at Arthur.]

Come at me, unless you're afraid to lose to a woman!

[Oooo, them's fighting words! Particularly after what occurred with Morgause, Arthur's not about to let himself be humiliated like that again.

Still he best give her a chance to reconsider.]

"Do you have any idea who you're talking to?"

[Arturia arches an eyebrow. Frankly, she feels like she's the one who should be asking this question.] Should I?

[If only they knew...Pendragon obliviousness strikes again!]

"You haven't been in Camelot long, I see." [Arthur shakes his head.] "If you don't even know the Crown Prince."

lol the faces they are making at each other right now adragoness November 15 2011, 04:22:12 UTC
You? [She seems unimpressed and faintly amused by this pronouncement.]

You're the one who's out of the know. [She lowers her weapon and straightens into a prim, and dignified posture.] Camelot has no crown prince-- only a princess.

Best Face off ever! not_a_clotpole November 15 2011, 04:28:19 UTC
"Yes, me -

What?"

[Because that's the only reaction a reasonable man can have.]

"Did Gwaine put you up to this?"

[Arthur's going to kill him.]

[Arturia eyes Arthur as though she's beginning to suspect that he has some kind of mental deficiency.]

Nobody put me up to anything.

[And Arthur's got a similar look on his own face.

He'll never understand women.]

"Well I can assure you, there is no Princess of Camelot -" [well except for...but Arthur doesn't want to think about her.] "And if you don't believe me, ask anyone here."

Ask them and they'll say only one thing. [She strides across the room towards Arthur, unintimidated by his size despite her shorter stature.]

That I am Arturia, Princess of Camelot. [Arturia finally puts her weapon aside and crosses her arms over her chest.] There has never been a Prince of Camelot, nor will there ever be.

[Arthur shakes his head in complete disbelief and looks around the tavern expecting some back up.

Everyone though is simply staring...at him, as if he's the mad one.]

"Are you SERIOUS?!"

wow I can't type tonight adragoness November 15 2011, 05:31:39 UTC
Entirely, [she says, her tone gaining a sudden authoritative upswing.]

Now, who are you and why are you posing as a member of the Royal Family of Camelot?

Ha ha Nah it's OK :O) not_a_clotpole November 15 2011, 05:35:45 UTC
"I'm Prince Arthur! I have been my whole life!" [This is ridiculous, Gwaine is going to get such a dressing down for this one.]

"I am the heir to the throne of Camelot and if yo don't believe me," [he fumbles around in the pocket of his brown coat.] "Then why would I have this seal?"

adragoness November 15 2011, 05:45:37 UTC
I don't know. [And the fact that he has one is somewhat concerning.] The only explanation is that you either stole, or forged it yourself.

[Although, if she's to be perfectly honest, he does have something of a royal way about him. Faking the kingdom's seal is one thing, but carrying yourself like you're of high birth is another. In her experience, only people who have truly lived the courtly life know how to behave like it.

But, no. The entire idea of two Arturias, Arthurs, whatever-- it's insane.]
