Tamlyn found her brother eating an apple while showing off his knife throwing skills. She saw that Lancelot had already found somebody to gamble with, and everybody was drinking.

"You know, Tristan, I'll bet you that you aren't the only one who can do that." Tamlyn said slyly as she leaned up against a beam.

"I know I'm not because I taught you." He replied to her, which brought a smile to both faces.

Tamlyn saw Bors pushing Vanora to sing, which she soon did. Her song brought a hypnotic trance over everybody, until somebody noticed Arthur and called him over. He then explained to them that even though they had just been declared free men, they had yet another task to complete for Rome. They had to retrieve a family from what would soon be Saxon inhabited areas. The knights left from the semicircle they had formed around Arthur quite upset. The last three standing where they had started were Arthur, Tristan, and Tamlyn.

"You know she's going with us even if we tell her not to." Arthur said to Tristan.

"I know she is. You wouldn't let us leave without you. Would you, Tamlyn?" he said, smiling, turning to his sister.

"I didn't come this far just to spend the afternoon with my big brother." she said as she headed off to the barn.

Tamlyn saw Gallahad had his white stallion tied and was quietly brushing him.

"Hey, Gorgeous George!" she said to the horse, who whinnied in return and started rubbing his head against her back.

"Itchy, are ya?" she said to the stallion who was, now, quite content.

"I take it you're going with us." Gallahad said quite skeptically over his horse's back.

"'Course I am. I can't let you all die, now, can I?" Tamlyn said to him, smiling.

"You're as stubborn as George." Gallahad replied to her sarcastic comment.

"You don't think I'm stubborn, do you Jezbel?" Tamlyn said as she walked toward her mare. Who shook her head back and forth as if to respond "no" to Gallahad's comment.

"You have some serious social issues. You hang around in the barn way too much." Gallahad said through laughter.

"Well, I'm sorry if my attachment to things that I love offends you in any way." Tamlyn said to Gallahad in an extremely sarcastic manner. She then slipped Jezebel, Bear, and George an apple each as she headed off to sleep.

-------------------

"Good morning, Bear." Tamlyn said as she scratched the horse's ears, slightly brown from the sun, as she walked into the barn.

"Thank you, Jols." she said to the man as he handed her Jezebel.

"How are you on this fine morning Jezbel?" she asked the horse as they walked out of the barn to meet the others.

"Yeah, I know. Those two are coming." Tamlyn said teasingly to her horse as Jezebel gave Bear and Lancelot a disgusted look.

"Well, somebody has to take care of the horses." Lancelot said, just as teasingly, as Tamlyn mounted Jezebel.

"Four legs are better than two." she said as she walked Jezebel over to Tristan, who was already mounted on his dappled grey stallion.

"How are you today, Adonis?" she asked as she scratched the stud's ear.

"You know, you really should find a man you like as much as the animals." Tristan told her.

"Now, why would I want to go and do that?" Tamlyn asked of her big brother.

"Because you should have been married a long time ago. And being as our parents are no longer here, if you don't find somebody soon, I get to pick." Tristan told her firmly.

"Is that why you asked me to come?" Tamlyn said, starting to grow slightly angry with her brother.

"Exactly why I asked you." he told her.

"Well, if I don't find anybody who would you pick?" she asked further pushing the subject.

"That all depends." he stated.

"On what?" Tamlyn articulated.

"On who you don't kill." he said to her as they both laughed.

"Well, if I weren't going to kill anybody, who would it be." she questioned him.

"Somebody I could trust. I don't want you marrying the dirt of the earth. They'd also have to be somebody I know quite well that also knows you. Somebody I know won't endanger your carefree life. Somebody who won't take you away from what you love." Tristan said to her as they moved off toward the Honorius estate.
