The week is almost over – tomorrow we'll have a new challenge already – but just now I managed to write something for this week challenge! I must confess: I finally put my hands on the Hornblower series, and now Mr. Hornblower refuses to leave my head! Every time I tried to write King Arthur drabbles, somehow the knights ended in the water, fighting a French or a Spanish ship… Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, not at all! I'm just warning you in case Lancelot sounds too serious or too correct today! And be aware: if Mr. Hornblower decide to keep my company, maybe I'll be forced to write crossovers for the next challenge! (winks)
Calliann: Oh, Gods, now I'm a happy woman! Lancelot, Arthur and Galahad following me around! What else can a woman desire in life? (winks)
I'm glad you liked all the pieces from my last update! I spent a good time writing them, trying to find something particular for each one… I'm glad it worked for you! And yes, King Arthur is a very unfair movie if you think about, isn't it? They gave poor Lucan a father just to have him killed right after! Not to mention that they killed Tristan just to make a poetic death scene with his hawk flying over him… And my Lance-boy? Urgh… I can't watch the end of the movie, I refuse to see him dying again! Just once was enough! (winks)
Wanderer of the Roads: Oh, dear! I'm glad you liked my set of pieces! Yes, Fuliciana had a really bad luck with her husband, didn't she? I'm glad you liked her piece! And horses… I don't understand nothing about it, I never rode a horse in my life! But let's just see what I can do about it!
Cardeia: I'm glad you liked them! I guess I should thank you for the suggestion! Write those pieces gave me a lot to think concerning all these characters that I never touched before! And I'm glad you liked the one with Arthur and Lancelot sparring as well! The more I write this pair, more I believe that there are so many sides of their friendship that I'll never be able to write everything I see on them – so I'll have to keep writing them forever! (winks)
Alexis in Wonderland: Hey, thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying my pieces! I hope you like this one as well! And don't worry, I have no intention to stop to write them anytime soon!
Title: Looking After You
Word Count: 100
Disclaimer: I own nothing or no one. Lancelot follows me everywhere because he wants. I'm not forcing him to anything! And now Arthur and Galahad are following me too because Calliann gave them to me, but I can assure you they're enjoying my company!
Author's Notes: English is not my native language and I'm still learning it; I'll be glad if you help me pointing at any error you find!
Any feedback will always be welcome, so please, review and let me know what you think!
KA100 Challenge #8:
Light Within
--o--
Gawain was always the one looking after Galahad, but now was Galahad's turn to look after Gawain, while the blonde knight fought against a strong fever. Look was the only thing Galahad could do, and that was breaking the young boy's heart.
"Please, Gawain! You can't leave me alone!"
"Gawain is strong! He's not leaving anyone!"
Feeling a warm hand on his shoulder, Galahad turned to Lancelot. Comforted by the light in the dark knight's smile, Galahad nodded. Lancelot stared Galahad straight in the eyes, and nodded back.
"You know, Gawain is not the only one looking after you, boy."
