The Taming Of The Rouge
"My Lord, I must speak with you." Sir Leon asked as he entered the King's study.
"What about Sir Leon?" Arthur asked as he looked up from the pile of paperwork on his desk.
"It's Gwaine, Sire. He has been spending more than his fair share of time in the tavern."
"Don't you spend time in the tavern?" Arthur gave him a pointed look.
Sir Leon shifted uncomfortably. "Yes, but Gwaine is there every free moment that he isn't on patrol or at training. It's becoming a problem."
"Is he unable to fulfill his duties?" Arthur was confused.
"No, Sire but he is an embarrassment to the other men. He flirts with the serving girls and drinks. Not to mention the singing he does when he is well into his cups. It is not befitting behavior of a Knight of Camelot, Sire." Sir Leon tried to explain.
Arthur smiled and nodded. "Then I believe that you must mentor him, Sir Leon. Take him under your wing and impress on him proper behavior for a Knight of Camelot."
"My Lord, I believe the speech would be more effective from you than me. I am just another Knight where as you are King and therefore you words have more weight." Sir Leon said trying to get out of the task.
"Sir Leon, you are my captain and I believe that the training and discipline of the Knights are your responsibility. I have faith that you can handle the task." Arthur went back to his paperwork. "I will await a report on your progress. Dismissed."
Sir Leon bowed and left to accomplish the impossible.
