According to my English major sister, Percival is the super pure celibate one who's always searching for the grail. So he's not just too cool for sleeves, he's too cool for 's also the good looking one.
I own Merlin. I won it in a game of poker.
The patrol had, as they were wont to do, gotten into a bit of a skirmish with some bandits they had found camped near the city. Though the knights were assured victory by their far superior skills, they were also assured a few bumps and bruises by their highly inferior numbers.
While fighting, Gwaine fell and hit his elbow on a rock, leaving the beginnings of a lovely purple mark. Sir Ian the Redshirt-But-Not-Quite-Yet was hit in the bicep by a blunt errant sword, which he quickly dispatched. Sir Leon was knocked into a tree by three men before he found his footing.
Percival suffered all three of these mishaps, but lacking sleeves, should have left the fight significantly bloodier than his companions. Instead he walked away with his arms looking as pristine and beautiful as ever.
Because Percival is too cool to need sleeves.
Review please?
