Chapter Three: Tavern
"Well, when we're free, I'm gunna drink till I can't piss straight." Said Bors while every one was riding back to Hadrian's Wall.
"But you do that every night." Galahad said.
"I know, but it's more like-"Bors was interrupted by Hailey.
"Like a baby's arm holding an apple? Yes, we all know that one." she said not realizing that the knights were staring.
"How did you know that?" Galahad asked,
Hailey decided to play with his mind.
"I'm psychic." she responded like a smartass.
He raised his eyebrows in a non believing way and looked away from her. The other shrugged it off, not really caring.
"I don't like him, the roman. Why doesn't he just give us our papers and go?" Galahad questioned.
Bors let out a laugh and so did Rose and Hailey.
"Is this your happy face?" Rose asked but he glared at her.
"Galahad, do you still not know that Romans?" Gawain asked him, "They won't hold a party with their scratching their asses."
"Why don't ye just kill him and discharge your self after." Bors said more in a statement than a question.
Galahad laughed slightly.
"I don't kill for pleasure. Unlike some." Galahad said the last part more to Tristan.
Tristan looked at him.
"Maybe you should try it some, ya might get a taste for it." he remarked.
Gawain and Rose let out a chuckle.
"It's a part of you, "Hailey stated, "It's your blood boy, so you'll have to square with that someday."
"No, no. As if tomorrow this will be a bad memory." He said and rode a few feet ahead of them.
"What am I to do? It's different for Galahad," Gawain started and looked ahead of him, "I've been in this life longer than the other. As for home, it's not so clear in my memory.
"Well, speak for yourself, "Bors said riding up beside Gawain and Hailey, "It's cold back there and everyone I know is dead and buried. And I have, I think, a dozen children."
"Eleven." Gawain corrected him.
Bors pointed at him and said, "Listen here. When the Roman leave here, we'll have the run of all this place. I'll be govnor of my own village and Dag will be my guard and royal ass kiss. Won't you Dag!"
Dag gave a look that said 'Um, right.'
"When I get home, I'm gunna find a beautiful Sarmation woman to marry." Gawain said thoughtfully.
"A beautiful Sarmatian woman?" Bors repeated humorously, "Why do you think we left in the first place." He gave a mooing sound. The Knights all started laughing. Even the girls started laughing. None of them were Sarmation, so they didn't really care. Lancelot rode up next to Hailey with a smile on his face.
"What of you, Sir Lancelot? What will you do when you get back home?" she asked.
"Well, if this woman of Gawain's is as beautiful as he claims, I'll be spending a lot of time at his house." Lancelot replied with a smirk.
"Yes, and what will I be doing?" Gawain asked.
"Wondering why all in your good fortune that all your children look like me." Lance said and everyone laughed.
"Is that before or after I hit you with my axe?" Gawain said.
Bors laughed again almost falling off his horse.
"Lancelot there's more to women then just bedding them." Hailey said.
"Really? Do tell, milady." he replied trying to sound interested.
"Yeah, but you can figure that out your self." Hailey said and rode up next to Arthur.
Lancelot shook his head and smiled. He liked Hailey already with out really knowing her.
"So, will you go to Rome Arthur?" Hailey asked him.
"Yes. It's a magnificent place." He said.
"Yes it is. It's still magnificent in the future too. All the ancient places maybe a bit crumbled, but they're still a good sight to see." Hailey said.
Arthur smiled.
"It's nice to know that people in your era enjoy seeing Rome." He said to her.
Hailey didn't know it, but Bors was bugging Lance about her while she talked to Arthur.
"She could be your next love, Lance. I'm telling ye. Look at her. She's beautiful, smart, funny, and nice. Did I mention beautiful?" Bors said.
"I know, I know. It's just the last girl I fell for died. I don't want that to happen to Hailey. Or any of them for a fact. Look at Dag. He's smiling and laughing around someone other than you. And Galahad found someone very much like him. I don't want my friends to be upset again. I don't want to be depressed again." Lancelot said and Bors patted his shoulder.
Maybe I can give my heart another shot. Give Hailey a chance. But how do I know she feels the same about me, that I do her? Lancelot thought.
He looked up at Hailey and saw her laughing along with Arthur and smiling. He knew that she had a beautiful smile and her eyes with gorgeous. Her curly hair blew through the wind giving her the glow of a goddess. Her skin was fair and eyes lit when she was happy that she could light a room. Her lips with a like rose color giving her a soft look.
Dag looked over Jesse as she talked to Gawain. He never saw anyone more beautiful. Her black wavy hair blew through the wind and she eyes were hypnotizing. She had a soft quiet voice and he knew she was a strong fighter. Though, when he watched her on that battle field, she fought like something bad would happen to her. Dag cares for Jess and feels like he needs to protect her. Looked at her again and saw her smiled. Her smiled as beautiful and warmed his heart to see her smile.
Am I in love with Jesse with out knowing her to well? No, it can't be possible. He thought.
Galahad looked at Rose. Her name fits her. She is more beautiful, though, then any flower on this earth. When he saw Rose, he then believed in love at first sight. He fell in love with a girl from a different world. She was more beautiful then any goddess in the world and that's what he liked about her. That someone so young was able to posses such beauty.

They reached Hadrian's wall and the girls were shown where the bathrooms were and where their rooms were. So after a bit of cleaning up, they put on some new clothes that they had on the saddles of their horses.
Hailey put on black Reboks with blues jean and a low-cut red cami
Jesse put on black jeans and pink cami and black converse
Rose put on blue jeans and a low-cut green cami and green converse.
They all went out into the Tavern and went their separate ways. Hailey went over to Bors and started to talk to him. Rose went to Vanora and Jesse was hanging' out with Gawain and Galahad.
"Now, see here young Hailey: Don't' have eleven bastards or you'll be up for some work." Bors said to her and she laughed.
"I just want one child, Bors. A boy. And want him to have good looks like his father and his charms. And my sweetness and humor and smarts." Hailey told Bors.
Bors nodded and gave her a pat on the back.
"That's what they all say and then you end up with more than one." He said.
"I'm going to help Vanora. I'll be back in a few minutes." Hailey said and got up.
"What table needs service?" she asked Vanora.
"Lancelot's table." Vanora said and smiled.
"Thanks, I'll log that away. Be right back." And she left.
"Who wants another drink?" Hailey asked coming over to Lancelot's table.
A couple of the guys nodded but stayed concentrated on their game of poker and she refilled their glasses. Just as Hailey was about to leave, she felt to hands go on her waist and pull her on to a lap. Lancelot
"Ignoring me are we?" he said with a smirk.
"Maybe, why? Wait let me guess you want to bed me, right?" Hailey said and Lancelot stared at her in astonishment.
"I know a lot of things." Hailey said and got up.
"And I know why you don't trust men like me." He said.
Hailey turned around. She looked at him for a moment and then walked away. She let out a sigh and sat down. She looked up as she head Bors earging Vanora to sing and she did. Hailey look at the faces of the knights and saw their longing to go home. Rose and Jesse saw it to. Jesse put her hand on Dag's shoulder. He looked at her and gave her a smile which she returned. After the song ended, Hailey saw Arthur.
"Arthur." She said and she walked over to him.
The knights followed. Arthur told them of their last duty and the girls told him they are coming whether they like it or not.
Hailey walked to her room and sat on her bed. Thinking of if she could ever open her heart to Lancelot and let him take her in his arms. She doesn't know if she should trust any man again. Her thoughts were broken by a knock at the door.
"Come in." Was all she said and Lance came in.
"Oh, hey."
"Hi...I um," Lancelot stammered.
"Look, you're here to persuade me not to go tomorrow." Hailey said looked at him.
"Well, yeah." He said and sat down next to her.
"I'm going because I want you, all of you to have your freedom. And to make sure a certain man stays alive." She said and looked at the wall in front of her.
"Oh, Arthur, right?" Lancelot asked.
"What?" Hailey looked at Lancelot.
"Arthur. You want to make sure that he doesn't get hurt. You seem to like him. A lot." He said and looked down.
"No, someone else. But I want Arthur safe, too. I mean, he could become the next King." Hailey said.
"Well, I should let you rest. If you're going to come with tomorrow, you're going to need a lot of rest." And he got up and went to the door and opened it.
Oh, the hell with it. Hailey thought and got up.
"Lancelot!' she yelled for him going out door.
"Yeah?" he responded and turned around.
Hailey walked up to him and pulled him into a passionate kiss. This surprised Lancelot, but he kissed back and put his hands on her waist and pulled her closer. Hailey put her arms around his neck. There was no space between them. They continued for a few minutes until they were interrupted.
"My, God! Lance, you barley know her and you're already making out." Bors laughed.
Lance shook his head and kissed Hailey good night.
Hailey went into her room and jumped on her bed with a smile on her faceā¦
