"Yes! Yes! With all my heart!"
Two old men watched as a young girl launched herself at a knight in a tackling hug. The young man had just proposed. "That's true love," said the first man to the other.
The other made no reply as he watched the girl drag her new fiancé over to a passing servant with raven hair. "Merlin! I'm getting married!" cried the girl.
"Congratulations!" smiled the servant. It was strange, the servant was a girl, but she wore trousers instead of a dress.
"I've got to tell Elyan! Bye Merlin," cried the girl, dragging the young man behind her. The servant laughed and started walking down the street, when a young blonde man came up behind her. He grabbed her shoulders, making her jump. She nearly fell, but the man caught her by the waist.
"You should be more careful, Merlin," said the man, with hands on her waist and eyes never leaving her's. He was obviously smitten.
"It was your fault, prat," she said, stepping out of his grip.
"It's not my fault you're an idiot," the blonde said with a smile.
"You're a dollop-head!" she said. The old men looked at each other, shocked. Rumor was only the king's servant used that insult, among others.
"And you're a clotpole," said the man, evil grin on his face.
"That's my word," pouted the girl.
"And it suits you perfectly," said the blonde, wrapping an arm around her shoulders, which turned into a headlock. He started to mess up her hair. The old men watched, horrified that he was hurting her, but they realized she was squealing with laughter, not pain. When she was blue in the face, he released her but kept his arm on her shoulder.
"You're a prat," she giggled, wrapping an arm around him as well. The two then set off in the direction of the castle.
"Now that," said the second old man, "is true love."
