"He did what?" Ellaine's voice could not hold back the surprise she felt at what her friend had said.

"He tried to kiss me." Lillian spoke up once more. Sitting down beside Ellaine on the bed she leaned against the wall. "He didn't really talk to me on the way back." She added. Even after they placed the horses back in their stalls he left before she could say anything.

"Its not that bad. I mean you like him right?" Ellaine asked staring up at the stone ceiling. Quietly she awaited her companions response but none but silence came to her ears. "Right Lillian?" she asked once more. Propping herself upon her arm Ellaine turned to her side facing the silent dark haired woman. Her green eyes searching the blues of her friends.

"That's just it I don't. At least I don't think so." Leaning her head back Lillian felt the stone behind her. "I mean he's a nice guy and I do like him, just not in that way." She added. "Besides we've known each other for little more then a month."

"Well, judging by his actions, I think he likes you." Ellaine responded laying herself back to the comfort of the bed. "If only it were that easy for the rest of us." She sighed.

"For the rest of us?" Lillian question turning her head to face the woman.. "Ellaine, is there someone that you like here?" The womans silence was more then what Lillian needed to confirm her suspicions. Quickly she pulled herself away from the stone wall and sat beside her. "Tell me." Lillian smiled as she wondered who it would be. She had noticed Ellaine spending a lot of time with several of Arthurs knights but none really stood out as the blond womans type.

"No. We are talking about you and Raoul." Ellaine laughed in response to Lillians sudden change.

"Ah see that would be the old news of discussion this is new and I will not leave you alone till you tell me." Lillian said eyeing her.

"I'm saying anything and you cant make me." Ellaine shot back a smile still on her face. Rising she backed away from her dark haired companion.

"Really?" Lillian mocked her eyebrow raising as the challenge was set before her. With out warning she lunged to the blond.

Before long a roar of laughter emerged from Ellaines voice as the torture insued.

"You gonna tell me?" Lillian laughed as she continued to tickle the sides of Ellaine causing the woman to laugh harder.

"Stop I cant breath." Ellaine choked out between her laughing. Her sides hurting from all the laughing.

"Tell me and I'll stop." Lillian responded.

"Lancelot." Ellaine finally struggled to say. Surrendering the information she breathed a sigh of relief as the dark woman stopped her attack and allowed her to breath.

"Lancelot!"

"You did what?" the man asked. His dark hair blew over his eyes but not even that could hide the dumfound look he bore within his equally dark eyes.

"I tried to kiss her." Raoul spoke up bringing the freshly poured ale to his lips. "And without luck I might add."

"She turned you down!" Lancelot's voice roared with laughter as he repeated the words within his head. Meanwhile his comrade sunk lower in his chair.

"Maybe you should try saying it a little louder I'm not sure the enemy heard you right." Raoul responded bitterly. Downing what was left of his drink he ordered another quickly.

"I'm sorry Raoul." Lancelot managed to choke out between his laughing.

"Its not funny Lancelot." Raoul mumbled staring hard at his friend.

"You're right Raoul. You are absolutely right." Lancelot agreed. With all the might he could muster Lancelot held his tongue. "Its not funny." Try as he might Lancelot could not hold his straight face a moment longer and soon he burst into a laughing fit once more.

Rolling his eyes Raoul felt an urging to knock the mocking knight off his chair. Breathing deeply he held it in.

"How do you do it Lancelot? You have managed to get any woman you want. How do you do it?" Raoul asked.

Several moments passed as the dark haired knight began to regain his composure.

"What you need is talent my dear friend. Talent. All you need is a little charm and some good looks. You have those and the women will flock to you." Lancelot finally answered. For a brief moment he looked Raoul over. "Unfortunately not all of us were blessed with good looks. So in your case I am afraid you may need to concentrate on the charm side."

"Smart ass." Raoul snapped in response. Pushing the knight hard he nearly knocked him of his chair.

"Hey no need to get pushy my friend. Besides if all else fails you could always try getting her drunk." Lancelot chuckled. Slowly his laughing died away as he realized Raoul still had yet to respond. Carefully he watched Raoul's posture shift and the look in his eyes change. For a brief moment the thought that Raoul took him seriously filled his mind. "Hey, you know I was just joking right? About getting her drunk. I was kidding." Lancelot added swiftly.

"What?" Raoul asked snapping back to reality. "Oh yeah, just a joke. Of course." He added his voice trailing off.

"Will you excuse me Lancelot, I will have to go now. Arthur has me doing my rounds early tomorrow." Raoul added. Placing his cup down he left. Watching him go Lancelot felt something strange in the air. Shaking it off the dark knight ordered another round and a lady to his lap.
