Faye pulled away. "Percy…" she said with a unsure tone, Percival's handsome eyes just stared down at her with a understanding look. He brushed away a strand of hair away from her face. "It wouldn't work…" Faye managed to stumble out.
"I don't care" Percy said with a smile "But I feel better after that. Now you know how I feel…"
Faye pulled herself away with great effort "I feel the same" she said with a smile "but that doesn't change that it can't happen."
"You were willing to let it happen with gwaine."
Faye let out a sigh "But I didn't care about Gwaine like I care about you…I anything happened to you I wouldn't be able to cope."
Percival nodded "Very well…" he said sadly "But I Love you."
Faye Felt her hearts fall she had no idea how to respond to it she didn't even remember anyone saying it to her before. Not even her mother perhaps her father…but not for a while and not in that sense.
Faye slowly swallowed her pride "I love you too." Percy felt a small smile creep across his lips and he lifted the girl up and swung her around in circles before dropping her and kissing her again. "You have no idea how happy I am to hear that." He whispered.
Faye held onto Percival her arms around his waist.
Until they heard footsteps. Percival instinctively drew out his sword and Faye attempted to likewise but she realised he had left hers at camp.
Faye felt herself panic until she saw the red haired Leon standing in the clearing "there you two are! We've missed half a day's travelling so Arthur decided it'd be safer to stay here for the night instead of move on."
Faye nodded while resisting the urge to reach for Percival's hand. Leon began to see where Faye had been crying. "My lady? Are you well?"
Faye smiled looking up at Percy she replied "Yes Leon…I am very well. We best get back to camp then, I'd love to know how merlin made hat soup last night." She grinned and laughed not noticing the look Leon gave Percival.
AS Faye stepped into Camp she saw contemplating Gwaine sitting on a rock alone. Faye once again found herself swallowing her pride as she inhaled and stepped towards him. "Don't think too much you might hurt yourself" She joked as gwaine looked up with a serious glare. Her laughs were met with a cold look, a cold hurt look.
"Gwaine…I'm sorry." Faye said sitting down beside him. Gwaine didn't realise at the time how rare it was for the young princess to apologize. She nudged him a little until he cracked a smile. "I just…its hard to think my dad's that kind of man…"
Gwaine let out a little laughed and looked over to his little sister. "How do you think I feel? To find out my mother was that kind of woman…"
Faye looked at him sadly "Where is your mother?"
"I don't know. I left home at an early age…never looked back."
"I'm sorry…"
"Don't be, I never really had a family so it doesn't bother me much." Gwaine grinned again
Faye smiled to herself. "Well you have a family now."
Gwaine shook his head "No I don't King Harrowmond will deny I'm his till the day I die, even if I am a knight."
Faye lifted her hand and placed it on Gwaine's "No. You have me," she smiled again with a chuckle
Gwaine looked down to where their hands met and then pulled her into a small bearlike hug. "I guess you are my sister, I've never had a sibling…"
Faye laughed "Well they're not all great…I have three…and none of them are as great as you."
Gwaine felt tears of joy well up in his eyes he'd never had a family. Not a real family and now he had a sister who he could protect with all his heart and soul. "You'd really accept me as your brother? A bastard?"
Faye laughed "that doesn't matter to me anymore…" she sent a glance towards Percival who was exchanging serious words with Leon. "and one day it won't matter to father, he'll come around, I'll speak to him."
Gwaine shook his head "No. I don't want that, I'm a knight and now I know I have a sister in this world I have everything I've ever wanted,"
"You'll really be a knight all your life?"
Gwaine nodded "A knight is more than I could dream to be…and now I will protect you and watch you become the Lady I know you can be."
Faye laughed "You're not confusing me with any other sister's right? I'd much rather be a knight."
Faye sent another glance towards Percival but this time Gwaine caught her. "I see you and Muscles are becoming closer?"
"what?" Faye said defensively
"well you just seem rather close.." He replied wiggling his eyebrows
"we're friends…" She said unconvincingly
Gwaine winked "Sure princess."
She sighed "Is it that obvious?"
"what's obvious?" Gwaine grinned.
"I hate you already." she laughed
"I'm hurt!" gwaine said playfully jabbing at her side until she began to giggle uncontrollably.
"Gwaine stop! Please!" she began to cackle loudly and she heard a voice behind them.
"Gwaine! What are you doing?"
Both siblings turned to see Arthur staring at Gwaine angrily. "Nothing my lord. Just having a joke with the princess"
"well next time remember your place. I hope you weren't offend you."
Faye rolled her eyes "You can't be mad at Gwaine my lord, in fact I think I better talk to you about it."
Arthur's eyes widened thinking gwaine had tried it on with her, Arthur wouldn't be able to protest to it not after his relationship with Gwen but if King Harrowmond found out he wouldn't be happy.
Faye opened her mouth just as she heard a loud roar, she was pulled down to the ground quickly by Gwaine's arm and as she looked up she saw a sword running at her.
