Gawain glared at Lancelot, muttering under his breath.

"You know, he's your cousin now," Terence's quiet voice said from behind him. Gawain jumped.

"Good Gog, don't do that." Then his brain managed to process what Terence had said. "He's my what?"

"Your cousin by marriage. Lorie's mother was a French princess. Lancelot is a French prince."

Gawain stared at him in shock. "Please tell me you're joking."

"Nope!" he said cheerfully. "Well, actually, they may not exactly be cousins."

"Oh, thank Go—"

"She might be his aunt. After all, time passes differently in Avalon." His face brightened. "Maybe she's his great-aunt."

"Terence."

"Yes, milord?"

"Shut up."


This is at the end of The Squire, his Knight, and his Lady, after they get back from Avalon but before Terence defeats Lancelot in the tournament.
