[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.]

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

What time would be convenient for you to meet?

[Here have a small smile.]

[he doesn't return the smile, but nods and ends the feed.
He will be there on time, a boy of fourteen years with sunglasses, clad in black and showing a skin and hair of a white that speaks of no pigmentation.]
action;
Hello - [he jams a target into the ground before walking up to him.]
action;
[He takes a step towards the other male but not more - he is not sure if it is safe to be everywhere here, and would rather not step on something or get into the way of a random arrow.]
action;
[He smiles kindly at his hesitation]
Worry not, you can come forth and feel at ease, there is no danger here.
[The place is strictly used for lessons and there are none scheduled for archery at the moment other than their own, although the sounds of swords banging against each other can be heard.]
action;
[He did introduce himself formally to Merlin and Arthur, but that was an exception and he specifically does not want to do it with more or less everyone else. Especially not this man.]
I reckon there are no other distance weapon trainings scheduled at the moment?
action;
[He shakes his head]
Only ourselves, all other lessons at this time are performed with swords.
action;
[His eyes, hidden behind the glasses, are trained at the other male, caught somewhere between curiosity and a hint of... something else. His tone always gravitates towards the negative side of neutral, derisive or disdainful tones easily creeping into it, but right now it is just blank.]
action;
Prince Arthur needed a crossbow teacher, so that is what I teach.
action;
He will, at least, not become openly hostile or unfriendly, only be a distant kind of neutral for now.]
You'll just do what he tells you to do? [Loyalty - no, this is not where he wants to take this afternoon. He shakes his head, as if to shake something off, and tries a curt smile.] Could we start?
action;
[So what if he's not a knight yet, those are nothing but technicalities.]
Of course. Have you ever held a crossbow before?
action;
[Well, one sword, technically. He never had a reason to fight or even think about learning it before his heritage came around - people avoided him, but nobody ever attacked him.]
Is it similar to guns on principle?
action;
What are 'guns'?
action;
And guns... they are projectile weapons, the distance weapon that will replace bow and crossbow over a thousand years after your time. They're also called firearms, because they work, or at least used to work, with fire and explosions.
action;
He listens intently to the explanation on guns, trying to imagine to himself what such a weapon may be like. With fire? Are they simply a form of flaming arrows?]
Are they used here?
action;
You might want to ask on the nextwork.
