"Elyan, help me!"

"What's that?"

"It's stuck!"

"That's because it's too big! You did it wrong."

"Ahhh!" Leon moaned breathlessly."It's so hard!"

"Maybe if we change positions… if you stand there like that and I push and then pull, the extra leverage... mngh!"

Gwaine and Lancelot, who had just been walking back from getting a drink, stood and stared at each other, before ducking behind an oak. What were Elyan and Leon doing?

"Maybe if I…"

"Owwwww! Stop, you're being too rough."

"It's the only way this is going to work."

"Maybe if you just twisted it… gently. You're hurting me!"

Lance and Gwaine shared a horrified look.

"I knew it!" Gwaine hissed. Lancelot shushed him, but too late.

"Hey, can you come join us? We need some help." Elyan called.

The two knights looked at each other in horror before sticking their heads out from behind the tree, expecting the worst.

Leon was standing holding a sword out in front of him. The sword had gotten stuck in its sheath. Elyan had his heals dug in and was pulling it from the hilt.

"It's stuck."

Lance and Gwaine looked at each other for a second, before bursting out laughing.

The other two knights looked confused. "What?" Elyan asked.

Gwaine was leaning on Lancelot for support. "W-we thought… something else. You were being highly suggestive…"

Elyan and Leon glanced at each other in confusion for a few seconds, before realization dawned on their faces.

"Ugh! Oh that is… you dirty minded… UGH!" Leon let go of the hilt as if it had burned him, causing Elyan to tumble onto his back, releasing a rapid huff.

Lancelot helped Elyan to his feet, still chortling occasionally.

After that they all proceeded to awkwardly lay down in their sleeping bags in an equally uncomfortable silence. It was Gwaine, of course, who broke it.

"I don't care if we got the wrong end of the stick, or sword as it were, you guys definitely have a little some'm some'm, if you know what I mean. And I mean, how more suggestive can you get then, 'The sword is stuck in the sheath because it was too big?'"

They all proceeded to throw their boots at Gwaine.

"What happens on overnight patrol, stays on overnight patrol!" Leon growled.
