Sorry about the slightly delayed update, been really busy and stressed out!
Anyway, the word for this drabble is 'discombobulated' by Astiza. I had a choice between that and probabaly an easier word to use, but discombobulate is an awesome word, who can resist? So thank you!
I've found recently that the same people seem to be giving me random words. There's nothing wrong with that; they give great words, but everyone else? What are you waiting for? Random words are such fun! :D
Not really historically accurate this drabble, but neither's the show, so we'll call it even :)
Please review!
Maths Lesson of Doom
"I'm so confused!" Gwaine yelled for what felt like the hundredth time. He leaned over towards Percival, who was sitting beside him. The Knight had written an all manner of shapes and equations on a piece of parchment.
This did not please Gwaine.
"See, he gets it! Why can't I?"
Percy just smiled, while Elyan, sitting on the other side of Percival, rolled his eyes.
Gaius tutted. "You should pay more attention Gwaine."
"A bird flew past the window, I had to watch!"
Gaius sighed. He was quickly regretting offering lessons to Knights, and Gwaine was on another rant again.
"Arthur's not here, or Lancelot, or Leon! Why do they get away without doing maths?"
"Because they decided to do history," Gaius reminded him.
"Well, that probably won't get me women or free ale either!"
Elyan rolled his eyes again. "Just explain to use once more Gaius."
Gaius nodded. "It's quite simple. If you want to find the size of an angle in a pie chart all you have to do is divide the frequency by the total frequency and multiply by 360 degrees."
Gwaine stared. "OK, all I heard was pie and degrees. Are you sure this isn't a cookery lesson?"
"No!" Gaius snapped, Elyan thumped his head on the table.
"I just don't get it!" Gwaine moaned. "Why is it called pie anyway? That just makes me hungry. No matter how many times someone tries to explain it I get so, so…"
"Discombobulated?" Percival offered the word.
"Is that another mathematical equation?" Gwaine stared in horror.
"Right, that's it!" Elyan stood up suddenly. "We're having a break, let's all go to the tavern to cool off and try to start again."
"Oh thank goodness, I was running out of things to live for!" Gwaine leaped up and dashed out of the chamber, before anyone could point out that alcohol would just make him feel more discombobulated…
