"Arthur, this is Artemis. Lancelot's sister." Guinevere looked towards the guest before looking to her husband.
"She's blonde."
"Glad to see your eyesight's working." Replied Guinevere
"Lancelot had dark hair." Came Arthur's response
"Just look at her, her mannerisms, her features, she is his sister."
"The knights are here, we'll be needing the room"
Arthur paused before looking from Artemis to Guinevere.
"I'm sending them here, if you wish to stay then by all means, but things may get a little out of hand"
"Sir, if you mean to get drunk then say so, it makes things easier."
Arthur stared at Artemis, this girl honestly was Lancelot's sister. He smiled without intending to.
"You may wish to meet your brother's companions. They will be here if you wish to fraternise."
Artemis swallowed, brown hues moving to fix on Guinevere who was now smiling.The two simply looked at each other before they both fell about laughing, causing Arthur to leave the room muttering something along the lines of 'I'll never understand women'.
Guinevere sat back down next to her new friend, shining curls cascading down her back. The two were still laughing when the knights entered. Some were new recruits, others had been there when Lancelot had died. Either way they were all looking towards the two women with raised eyebrows, except for Bors, who seemed to find it rather amusing.
"Looks like Guin' finally found herself a friend, by the looks of things a pretty damn good one and all."
Guinevere paused looking to Bors before laughing again. Artemis elbowed her quickly in the ribs before the two calmed down and stood leaving the men to 'do' whatever it was they did. As they reached the door she grabbed Artemis' arm and pulled her to the side as the wine was brought in. Music started to play and Guinevere released her arm and started dancing. Blue linen dress being swooshed around the floor. The knights couldn't keep their eyes off her. It reminded her of when Lancelot had once dragged her off to one of the village parties. Vanora had entered shortly after Bors, and had now joined Guinevere on the tiled floor. Artemis however was keeping well out of the way. She wasn't one for dancing, or social affairs of any sort. She preferred to be alone or in the company of a few select friends. She edged further towards the door and was about to take a step out when Arthur entered. He gave her a nod before gently pushing her back into the room, she turned and tried again but he did exactly the same thing. Artemis didn't approve so she threw him.Straight over her shoulder and onto the floor. The room went silent, save for the silent sniggering of Guinevere.Everyone stared before Guinevere burst out laughing setting the whole room going again. She held out her hand to help him up, which he took cautiously, a small smile spreading across his face.
"You're too much like your brother."
