[At first all that can be seen is a gaping mouth, sharp teeth and a great tongue blocking the view as the four-months-older-than-he-is-in-this-pic Sir Frewen grabs hold of Lancelot's bracelet. With a quick firm command of 'no!' he backs away however and the dog can be seen wagging his tail expectantly. Lancelot looks intently at the screen trying to figure out what exactly it is that has been triggered, while the dog moves to pull at his sleeve, barking in an attempt to regain his attention. His hair and shirt are slightly messy and he is short of breath, but despite the confusion and embarrassment his face is still lit up in exhilaration at the game that has been taking place only seconds before.

And then he runs a hand through his hair, trying to straighten it out as he realizes that more likely than not - people can see him now.]

Should anyone hear this - please forgive me this intrusion, I will be sure to be more careful in the future.

[He hesitates for a moment, uncertain whether he should be saying anything else, but if he's appearing before the network anyway as he suspects he is, he might as well introduce himself.]

My name is Lancelot, I am new to Asgard. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has kindly and patiently explained this city to me, and extend an offer to all citizens of the city be them old or new - if there is anything I can assist you with you need only ask. I have been placed in the house of Heimdall but I reside in the district of Thor, and I can also be reached in the Citadel should anyone wish to learn the use of the crossbow.

[With a sharp motion he moves the bracelet just as the dog makes to pounce on it again.]

Again -- I apologize. [And with a small apologetic smile he ends the feed.]

Comments

[unfalteringly]

[ Another dog! Are people actually keeping them as pets here? Of course with the over-abundance of food, it makes sense. They can afford to have an unnecessary mouth to feed. He doesn't even remember seeing them in the Capitol. Maybe the more domestic animals like dogs and cats have died off already. Regardless, Peeta's watching the dog. Because it's cute.

Sorry Lancelot but you're being outshined here ]

It's not an intrusion. People do it all the time. Are you settling in alright?

[sworntovalor]

[He's actually relieved for it - yes Peeta, watch the dog. Ignore the unknightly behavior displayed here.]

I'm glad to know that. [And here you get a smile] Yes, I am, thank you. How have you been, Peeta? [Did he remember the name right? He certainly hopes so.]

[unfalteringly]

[ Well you're in luck, Lancelot, because Peeta only looks away from the dog when there's words exchanged. That's it. Look, where he's from, any domesticated animals have all probably been eaten ]

That's good to hear. I've been well. [ The fact that he didn't correct Lancelot on his name should be a good indication, right? ]

So you just got here and you're already offering help to people? That's really kind of you. [ He pauses and finally gives Lancelot his full attention ] I'd like to learn. I can pay you. Or- I don't really have any skills to offer in return. I'm sort of just a baker...

[This is only video because Mary can't get down there fast enough.]

You know crossbow?

video;

[sworntovalor]

Yes -- I do.

[He could be wrong, but she seems interested.]

[minifridge]

You need to teach me.

[As gravely as if she's declaring that she needs water or she'll die.]

[caputlupinum]

I have no need to learn, but should you ever wish for company I would not mind having someone else to shoot with.

[Or possibly show off for. That option is probably more likely.]

[sworntovalor]

Nor would I, the company will be welcomed.

[Especially since he fully intends to train daily to keep his skills up.] Do you practice any other arms?

[caputlupinum]

I am good with a sword, should you wish to practice. They are both skills I would like to keep sharp.

[extraordinarymuse]

Lancelot as in the knight? Arthur's knight?

[Please excuse her as he collections all of her ancient knights and kings.]

[video]

[sworntovalor]

[Has Arthur been going around talking about him? Oh his day has just been made and there is a pleased smile on his face now.]

I am not yet a knight, my lady, but I have been told I will be.

[ video ]

[pratentious]

That little monster. He has grown.

[ His tone is not fond, okay, Arthur doesn't like Sir Frewen at all. ]

[ video ]

[sworntovalor]

[Oh excuse him, he can't really focus on the dog considering what he's just heard you say. It takes him a moment to gather himself but he is still grinning like an idiot all the same.]

He seems to have an affinity for this bracelet.

[It's that pale woman again, who's red eye goes wide. She looks stunned.]

What?

[gwenhwyfar]

[She looks genuinely crushed. This isn't the Lancelot that she knows.]

[gwenhwyfar]

Nid ydych yn ef.

Lancelot. Lancelot... but not the one I know.

[And love.]

[gwenhwyfar]

I am sorry.

Is it possible to have a trial lesson?

[It would be of very much interest for him to meet a Lancelot, yet he is not particularely interested in pursuing the crossbow for a longer time (even though trying it out might be fascinating).]

[sworntovalor]

[He has yet to learn how to do anything but use video, so his reply comes in this form.]

I don't see why not... [a nod] I'm certain it can be arranged.

[Video]

[gate_of_babylon]

[Well...he certainly looks a LOT different from the Berserker that Gilgamesh had a couple of insane battles with, which means he must be from that other Camelot. It's not so much confusing for him as it means more people to troll.]

Surely you know more than simply the crossbow.

[Video]

[sworntovalor]

[That is a reaction that hints to some sort of familiarity and he looks at him with curiosity, wandering if this man also heard of the legends.]

I do, but that is what Prince Arthur needs taught so that is what I teach.

[fated_blade]

[Though she knows he will not recognize her, and her brain tells her this is a bad idea...she finds herself on the line but without any words. When she finally does open her mouth, its a pitiful squeek that comes out]

S-sir...Sir Lancelot...

[Video]

[sworntovalor]

[Again, the title. It brings a sad smile to his lips.]

Simply Lancelot, my lady. I am not yet a knight. Are you familiar with the legends as well, or are you a friend of Arthur or Merlin's?
