Hi, guys! I'm still there! Here comes the new chapter (finally!), but it's a bit too short (oops!). Hope you'll enjoy it!

Chapter 6

The Camelot.

We've finally reached the Camelot. On our way to the castle I noticed that people were looking at us, some of them even smiled at Gawaine. I feel like he is a big figure here.

He didn't say a word to me for a while. Something was worrying him, that was obvious. He refused to tell me where Merlin and Arthur went. I can't say that I was very interested anyway. Let men do their business, come to Camelot, fix my ankle as soon as possible and say "bye-bye, Gawaine". Sounds like a good plan to me.

For now I can just enjoy the ride and lean on Gawaine's broad chest. Hmm…

Wait. Do not distract yourself with all those thoughts about him. He's not your type, Nin. Just…just think about the flowers! Or the branches of trees, or that heart-shaped cloud… Hey…

We've approached towards a castle as I saw a young woman running out of it. I guess, her broad smile made Gawaine smirk. He stopped the horse and dismounted

"Gawaine!" cried the woman and hugged him. Being strong, he lifted her and began to whirl.

"Put me down right now!" she laughed and hugged him lightly once again. "I'm so glad you're back and fine."

"You have no idea how glad I am to be back at home," he smiled kindly at a woman.

I wouldn't have interrupted them but the damn animal I was still sitting on shivered and made some scary noise. I grabbed the rains desperately. I think it was my nervous shriek that interrupted the sweet reunion of Gawaine and his lady. (Well, I thought she was something like his lady that time).

"I guess you'd better to come down, Nin." Gawaine helped me to dismount. "Let me introduce you to a dear friend of mine – Guinevere."

"Just call me Gwen," the tanned woman smiled at me and, you know, she looked pretty friendly. So I smiled back. "Welcome to Camelot."

"Nin helped me and he hot injured…"

"It's nothing serious," I mumbled.

"… so Arthur suggested me to bring him here, so Gaius could treat him. Now, I need you to tell me where to find Leon and Lancelot. I don't want Merlin to get hurt because of some weird idea of our 'lord'," Gawaine led me towards the castle, still holding me tight. Actually, the ankle wasn't so bad but I didn't try to walk myself. What for if I can have him helping me?..

"Lancelot is in a stable and Leon took young knights and soldiers for training outside the castle," said Gwen. She looked worried now. "I will show Nin to the Gaius chambers and you go find Lancelot. I will also send someone to sir Leon. He'll be back as soon as possible."

"No, don't send for him. We won't need all the knights. I'll get Lancelot," said Gawaine and looked at me. "Stay with Gwen, she'll show you around. When I'll come back we have something to talk about."

Ouch, that sounds dangerous. What is it you want to talk about, dear Gawain?..

"Alright, I'll wait." Uh-huh. Dream on. I must disappear from this place as soon as possible.

Gawaine nodded to Gwen and left us in the corridor of a castle.

"So, let me help you. Nin, right? You have a very interesting name."

"Yeh, my mom said the same." I tried to sound more harsh, so Gwen not to suspect I'm a girl.

"Where are you from, Nin? And how did you manage to end up with Gawaine?"

"Well…it's a long story, a really long one. Being short, I'm from a distant village and I met Gawaine in a tavern where he was…"

"Oh, let me guess, he was starting a fight? That man's always the same."

"Well…I'm not sure who started the fight but it apparently took place."

We've reached a wooden door and Gwen knocked twice. I heard some noise behind it and when the door was open I saw an old man with almost white hair and a bowl of something nasty smelling in his hand.

"Gaius, I'm sorry for interrupting your experiments, but I've got a patient for you."

AN: thank you all who keeps reading the Untitled Gawaine project and I'm so sorry for not posting it for such a long time!

From now on, I'll do my best to publish new chapters more often and I'll try to make them interesting and worth reading.
