Disclaimer remains and will never go away only because I will never in my life own King Arthur. But I will dare to dream.

A/N: This is Galahad's interlude and I think it's about time too. I mean a lot of people thought I was gonna pair Roxie with Galahad, but I never intended that. Now it's his thoughts about stuff. Enjoy… Poetic license galore yo!


Galahad's Thoughts
I used to think of nothing else except going home. And on the day we should have left, she comes storming in and changing our lives. She is all I think of, it is not about home anymore; it is her.

From the moment she walked into the Hall of Round, I was never more taken by a woman then at that moment. The way the gown hugged her form, she was truly the vision of Arthur's angels despite the scowl on her face.

I wanted to know her more; I wanted to be with her, she took our jests lightly and surprised us with a few of her own.

It was not just the beauty of her face, the curves of her body, or the sharpness of her wit that captured me, I think it was more the way she just was. On the day of our so-called discharge she surprised us all with besting even Tristan with a toss of Dagonet's dagger. A woman after my own heart it seemed. I thought I could spend my life with her, it wasn't just her face, her figure, nay it was her eyes… they always looked at me with kindness and mirth. I felt I could drown in those hazel orbs and give up home just for her.


She told us about being an assassin, the others were shocked and surprised, but for some reason it did not surprise me too much. I believe that beauty has a danger to it, and gods was she beautiful. The way she moved during the mission, I had wished to make her mine… losing her to the filthy Romans nearly killed me. There was no punishment any of the others could dole out that would make me feel any worse… as though my heart was ripped out.
"Galahad… smile. It wasn't your fault," She smiled at me from across the fire on our way back to Hadrian's Wall. She got up gracefully and placed a steady hand on my shoulder, "Even if it was, I still would've forgiven you. That's what friends do anyway." I nodded and thanked her; it was what I needed to hear. She knelt down next to me and hugged my shoulders tightly before kissing my cheek. I do not know if she noticed the sharp intake of breath I took in as her plump breasts pressed against my arm, I hoped not. "Hey Gal, I need your help. You mind?" Vigorously I nodded my head.

Whatever I had thought was completely different then what she needed me for… target practice. She and Tristan had each brought Saxon crossbows, but she used hers for herself. The woman is a genius, but nay will I ever tell her so.


I have felt this draw to her I couldn't ever explain, it was more than that she was a woman, for there have been many a woman I have taken to my bed and enjoyed. Nay, there is so much more that I can not fathom she brings to me. I would love to be the man whom she loves; I know it is not me. She has been felled by Lancelot's charms. I do not believe she even knows it.

She sees me as one who is younger, like a brother, though I am her senior by five years. I think that is what I have seen in her eyes. Not the love I would give her, but her joy at being my friend.

Oh Roxie, if you only knew how you torture me. If you only knew Roxie how I am in love with you.


A/N: First of all, I AM SO SORRY! After that last chapter I didn't know how to continue, I had a vague VAGUE idea but it wasn't enough. I know I left a whole bunch of people at a cliffhanger but I needed something to pull me back to the story.

Thanks so much to my wonderful reviewers. You guys stuck with me and I really appreciate it.

Captain Annie: yeah, that was completely a surprise, not even my beta had even inkling about it. So really you didn't miss anything. How I see it is that Dag has been pretty reserved and with this whole near-death experience without getting a chance to do anything, he would probably take the plunge and proclaim his love to Roxie. Oh and sprung is definitely a word.

Ailis-70: Thanks for thinking so; I was going through hell trying to write it. I knew how I wanted to end it, and I was practically bursting to finish it. I can't answer the fuzzy feelings about Dag or Lancelot because that is in the next chapter after another interlude. Sorry to put you through that. But I think being in near death experiences make you realize you shouldn't live in regret, for example I was in a car accident in May(Thankfully my sis and I were unharmed) but our car was wrapped around a tree, since then I've tried to live without regret… key word TRIED.

Yeah, I figured that Gawain and Lancey-pants would have a strict selective process, I mean c'mon their guys, and rather good looking ones. Well, I'm more partial to Lancey than Gawain, but you get the idea.

Ah yes, Connor. He was her everything, but she couldn't let go. Well, she could then feeling the guilt of betraying him, the only man she actually loved. Remember, she is an assassin who hardened herself over everything including love; his appearance helped her finally say good-bye.

And Ceridwen was from somewhere I really don't remember. It sounded pretty and more period-appropriate than anything I may have come up with.

As for Handsomely Hunky Hotties, well truthfully I have never heard of Mads until this movie so that is my fault. Also, it's because Roxie and Tristan are supposed to be related. It just feels icky if a person thinks their relative is remarkable hot.

Evenstar-mor2004: Yeah, I'm having a lot of fun with them. Thanks for your review.
KnightMaiden: Thanks, and I'm sorry for not updating sooner. School, Writers' Block, Projects, Work. You choose the excuse.

Daydream1: Yup, Dag's in love. True, a lot of people love Roxie, she's a rather endearing character. Yeah, Connor's appearance was a little weird but I was trying to have her pain taken away in a more physical sense. No one can tell her to let go because they won't understand, not like Connor because those two were really in love. Ah yeah, Aurora has basically disappeared from this story. So, no worries.

hunting4max: Yay a new reviewer! Welcome to my story. I really apologize that this took so long. But you've really impressed me by reading the whole thing up to this. Wow. Props to you. Thanks.
