”I‘m not stopping you, y’know.”
“Do you forget what I can do?” She doesn’t care if anyone can hear her; she’s gone from trying to protect him from herself to trying to persuade him — either way there’s anger and frustration. “No one else can see you the way I can! I am /sure/.”
He chewed on his cheek. “No, I haven’t,” he tells her, “how can I?”
Summer flinches, and pales. “What do you mean by that?” she whispers.
xregicide-deactivated20140812:
”I‘m not stopping you, y’know.”
“It’s not!” She whirls around and stalks away from him, fists clenched, then turns back. “You are brave, and loyal, and kind, wise and generous and forgiving. I won’t have you malign yourself with lies.”
Mordred watches her, standing there without saying another word. She was wrong, he knew it. She had no idea how wrong she truly was. He pursed his lips, everything he had ever done coming to the forefront of his mind. The knights, the bread, the bandits. Everything. “How can you be so sure?”
“Do you forget what I can do?” She doesn’t care if anyone can hear her; she’s gone from trying to protect him from herself to trying to persuade him — either way there’s anger and frustration. “No one else can see you the way I can! I am /sure/.”
xregicide-deactivated20140812:
”I‘m not stopping you, y’know.”
“Don’t say that! You’re not an idiot.” She takes a step closer to him. “Don’t ever say that.”
“It’s the truth.”
“It’s not!” She whirls around and stalks away from him, fists clenched, then turns back. “You are brave, and loyal, and kind, wise and generous and forgiving. I won’t have you malign yourself with lies.”

”I‘m not stopping you, y’know.”
“So is my madness for thinking I’m not good enough for you, or is it for falling in love with you?”
“Personally I would say both,” he tells her, “you’re mad for even considering loving an idiot like me.”
“Don’t say that! You’re not an idiot.” She takes a step closer to him. “Don’t ever say that.”
xregicide-deactivated20140812:
”I‘m not stopping you, y’know.”
“I do wish to stay! I just — you deserve someone better, someone more suited to life here, You’re so — “
”And what? You believe someone here would be better suited for me?” Mordred asks. “I don’t want someone who floats around the halls all the time, waiting for me, Summer.”
“So is my madness for thinking I’m not good enough for you, or is it for falling in love with you?”
xregicide-deactivated20140812:
”I‘m not stopping you, y’know.”
“I don’t know what you see. But if you want me to — to stay with you … “
”If you don’t wish to stay I shall not force you.”
“I do wish to stay! I just — you deserve someone better, someone more suited to life here, You’re so — “
xregicide-deactivated20140812:
”I‘m not stopping you, y’know.”
“‘m sorry. It’s just — Mordred, you’re a Knight of Camelot, and I — “
”And you’ve quickly become the most important person to me and I can’t bear to lose you,” he says, quickly finishing her sentence.
“I don’t know what you see. But if you want me to — to stay with you … “
xregicide-deactivated20140812:
”I‘m not stopping you, y’know.”
“Well, yes. What does that have to do with me not being good enough for you?”
“No Summer, don’t think like that.”
“‘m sorry. It’s just — Mordred, you’re a Knight of Camelot, and I — “
xregicide-deactivated20140812:
”I‘m not stopping you, y’know.”
“You deserve someone better than me? Someone who isn’t so demanding of you.”
“You’re mad, you know that, right?” he asks, taking a step forward, “absolutely nuts.”
“Well, yes. What does that have to do with me not being good enough for you?”
xregicide-deactivated20140812:
”I‘m not stopping you, y’know.”
“Maybe you should.”
”And why would that be?”
“You deserve someone better than me? Someone who isn’t so demanding of you.”
