It was sometime later that night when Lina
grasped how dangerous allowing the Arthurian characters into her world
really was.
"And I thought that it was gloomy here before,"
she muttered. "What are they doing?"
"Arranging a whine contest," Margawse said.
"They’re going to whine about who has it worse, and finally pick a winner."
Lina shuddered.
Meanwhile Zelgadiss had a cup of tea to calm
his nerves.
"Here," Niniane said. "Take some of
mine. I shouldn’t drink much more of this…but with this crowd…" she
sighed, and poured herself another glass.
Merlin walked over and prodded Niniane.
"And all it would have to say is, "What, I don’t understand, and Where’s
the Tea.""
"Shut up," Niniane said. "And keep the
Douglas Adams quotes to yourself." She resumed sulking.
Eris curled up asleep with her head in Rezo’s
lap.
"Don’t the spikes ever get uncomfortable?"
Morgan asked.
Rezo shrugged.
Margawse determinedly tried to pick up on
Gourry, with little or no luck.
Gawaine talked to an adoring Sylphiel while
Nagha horrified Igraine with her sense of fashion.
Amelia and Guenivere debated how they could
reform the world in high, chipper tones.
And Arthur sat, all alone, contemplating both
how Camelot would ever function without him and, more importantly, "why
me."
