A Cold Knight
"Honestly, Percival, aren't you cold?" Gwaine asked. He'd not commented on his friend's sleeveless state before, but they'd been travelling steadily north for some time and now it was starting to snow.
"Yes," Percival replied simply, a gentle smile on his face. He liked feeling cold.
This preference had started shortly after he'd been apprenticed to the village blacksmith and discovered the delight of going out into the cold evening air at the end of the day. When Cenred's men attacked, the lad had survived by hiding in an alcove right next to the raging forge. He couldn't remember how long he'd stayed there, trembling with fear and sweating from the heat, but there were times where he thought that a quick death by the sword would be preferable to a slow one being roasted alive.
From that day on, being cold had always made him feel safe.
