Chapter 6

...~*~...

Aurora felt dizzy and happy at the same time. The tavern had calmed down and the most people had gone home. Aurora guessed it was rather late, most certain around midnight.

Aurora had had a wonderful night. She had spent time with the knights, getting to know them all.

Vanora was Bors' lover so the children was his. Dagonet was the quiet one but the nice, quiet one. Tristan was the quiet and scary one. She couldn't help it, she was sometimes a little uncomfortable in his presence but tried not to show it.

Then there was Arthur but she already knew him. He however had left rather soon after his arrival. He claimed he had matters to attend to, the knights had tried to convince him to stay but he had already made up his mind.

Gawain and Galahad was close friends, she didn't know if they were brothers but she thought they regarded each other like brothers, well all of the knights did. Percival was very nice and mature. He was like a younger version of Dagonet, just a little wilder perhaps.

And then there were Lancelot.

Lancelot had spent his knight away from her with a bargirl in his lap. This annoyed Aurora, why, she didn't know, but she tried to ignore him as much as she could.

Now the night had come to its end and Aurora knew she had to go to bed. The only question was how she would be able to manage it.

She was drunk.

She had during the night drunk several mugs of ale and apparently ale was a little stronger than wine.

"Now, my dear knights, I think it is time for bed" She said standing up only to find herself sitting down mere moments after.

" How di..did this happened?" she said trying to focus her eyes.

"I think our female friend has gotten a little to much to drink" She heard Galahad from a distance.

"Yes, indeed" Bors chuckled.

"Oh, you lads" Vanora said. " You have drunken the poor girl under the table". Vanora stood beside Aurora but she didn't notice that. She had to concentrate real hard just to try and keep up in the conversation.

Oh God I am tired, she thought.

The knights chuckled when Aurora finally managed to stand up and go away from the table.

"Now it is really time for me to leave" She said while the knights smiled at her.

"You really shouldn't go alone miss" Percival said standing up.

"Nonsense, I am not drunk" Aurora said while she accidentally tripped on a chair and landed straight on her back,

She could feel her bottom hurt and she just hadn't the strength to stand up. She suddenly felt two hands drag her up and holding her while she found her balance.

"You really ought to go to bed" She heard a voice said. She tilted her head so she could se the face of her helper, Lancelot.

"I am fine, don't worry", she brushed his hands of her. " I am perfect".

"I don't worry about you, I worry for myself, cause Arthur will have all our heads" he raised his voice so the other knights would hear and they did. " If any harm comes to you".

"Yes, he is right" Gawain said still drinking. "You should go to bed."

"Fine, and I was about to." she said. "I will walk back now", she said as she headed for the fort."Good bye knights".

"Sleep tight." She heard from the table but all her concentration was on walking straight.

"That doesn't look so stable." Lancelot said creeping up on her, "I think you need my help."

He took his arm around her waist to help her walk.

"My, my.." Aurora said leaning on him. "What you have become gentlymanly suddenly."

Lancelot laughed. "Gentlymanly? Is that even a word?"

"Yes, it is, one of my new words, I just decided it was a word" she said leaning more into Lancelot. She laid her head on his chest gripping his shirt for balance.

"Shouldn't you also be in the bed?" she looked at him " with one of those bargirls right about now?" she added.

Lancelot looked down at her.

"I guess when you are drinking, you say even more without thinking?"

"Well, I only speak the truth." She said.

"The truth being that I have a reputation of having a new girl in my bed every night?" Lancelot wondered, smiling down at her.

"Not necessarily new." She said, smiling sweetly in return.

Lancelot looked up still holding Aurora rather tightly. He had never noticed her wit before, but she wasn't the only one with a sense of humor.

"Perhaps" he said interrupted by the castle's steps when he had to almost carry Aurora up for them. When they reached the top he continued.

"Perhaps, I am already going home with a girl?" Aurora gave him a puzzled look not realizing were he was going with this.

"Perhaps I am planning to share this girl's bed to night?" he said smirking. Noticing Aurora's suddenly angry face he knew she had gotten the message.

"I won't sleep with you Lancelot!" Aurora exclaimed pulling herself away from him.

"You won't? Why? I promise I am quite the catch." By now they had reached Aurora's door.

Aurora smirked "So I've heard. "

"So my reputation precedes me?"

"Quite!" Aurora said unaffected by his arrogant behavior.

"Then why don't you want to try if the rumors are right?" Lancelot wondered, closing the proximity between them.

Aurora noticed this and took a steep back, backing in to the door.

"Is it because you are afraid you lack the experience?" Lancelot said looking into her eyes waiting for her to blush. But she never did, instead she started to laugh again.

"What is it with you?" she asked making Lancelot give her a surprised look.

"What?" he asked.

"What is it with you with this whole virtuous thing?".

Lancelot only starred at her.

"You know I am not some little girl who doesn't know what she is doing" Aurora looked at him."I am not so innocent that you think sir knight".

"What do you mean by that?".

"I mean," said Aurora reaching her head to be closer to him, her lips barely a centimeter from his.

"That the reason why you are not sharing my bed tonight, is not because I lack the experience". Lancelot looked bewildered at her, noticing her hand coming to rest at his chest, her lips touching his lightly while she spoke.

"But because my sister is sleeping in the room next to mine." She finally said while gazing at him with seductive eyes.

Lancelot swallowed and looked down at her beautiful lips. He wanted to touch them, feel them but before he could make his move Aurora withdrew her hand and opened the door behind him.

"Good night sir Lancelot." she said giving him a nod and started to close the door.

"Wait!" Lancelot stopped the door by his hand and looked at Aurora.

"Yes?" She said with sleepy eyes.

"What did you mean by what you just said?"

"What did I just say?" Aurora wondered.

"That thing.." he gestured, but Aurora only looked amused at him.

"Thing?"

"Yes, about you not lacking experience?"

"Oh that, well Lancelot I meant exactly what I said" she answered. "Now, if you don't mind" she said and pulled his hand of the door." I would like to go to bed, it has been a long day".

"Good night" She said and closed the door quietly behind her.

Outside the door Lancelot continued to stare at the door thinking about what she had meant.

Did she want him to be with her tonight? And what was the thing about not lacking experience. He thought it was custom in Rome, for Christians to...save themselves.

He shook his head and started to walk to his room. This girl, or should he say woman was starting to affect him, and he who had sworn to dislike her because she was roman.

He opened his door and walked into his room and began to change.

Just maybe, he thought, there was more to this woman then he first thought.
