“I already regret this.”

“Hmmm.” She pondered. “No.” With a wink and a laugh, she kicked the horse again and shot off down the path. Rounding a corner, she vanished from his view, and nearly ran headlong into a fully-armoured knight standing in the middle of the road. Her horse reared, and she shrieked.

Arthur shook his head when she took off without him, leaving him to his thoughts after shouting that Summer should come back. Hearing her shriek, Arthur instantly moved his horse faster, catching up where she was and hopped off his horse.

“I think we found him,” Summer said, leaning forward over her horse’s neck to pat the shuddering animal. She glanced down at Arthur, then back at the silent knight. The knight, clad in dark armour, never moved, never so much as indicated he knew they were there. Summer looked back and forth between the two again, then gently nudged her horse forward.

The dark knight’s hand seemed to snap out, seizing her by the ankle. “You shall not pass.”

“I already regret this.”

“This is entirely too much flattery.” She bit at her lips, trying not to smile and ruin the joke. “I grow suspicious of your motives, my lord. What is it you’re trying to gain by saying such kind things?”

He chuckled a bit as he nodded faintly, “Now Summer, why would I ever do something like that? Why would I try to use such a power as flattery. I only speak nothing but the truth.”

“That is precisely what I ask! There must be something you want of me — for I know that not everyone is Camelot likes me. That would be absurd.” Summer nudged her horse ahead of his a touch and frowned exaggeratedly. “Do speak the truth, my lord, and no more of this flattery. I am immune.”

She wasn’t, at all, but she didn’t need him feeding the shy and forlorn hopes buried in her heart, either. Sometimes she wished he was less nice, that she understood less of what drove him in justice and battle. ‘Why do you have to be someone I could love?’ she thought.

“Perhaps, but not everyone in Camelot likes me either. What I speak is the truth and nothing more. The knight are always happy to see you as they are of Merlin. You have been kind and wanting to know more. It’s an admirable trait.”

He turned his head as her horse was closer to him when her riding moved to be ahead of him slightly. He gave a lop-sided smile as he tilted his head to the side. “So, do you believe that I am speaking the truth or no?”

“Hmmm.” She pondered. “No.” With a wink and a laugh, she kicked the horse again and shot off down the path. Rounding a corner, she vanished from his view, and nearly ran headlong into a fully-armoured knight standing in the middle of the road. Her horse reared, and she shrieked.

I’m not leaving, but I’m letting go. There’s so many people on here — I want to be just as important to them as they are to me. I flinch inside everytime I see the post about “I want a ship where I constantly have ideas” etc. because I’m the person who does that. Constantly having ideas, I want to be important — I want to feel like I’m not the one doing all the work. That someone would come to me. I’m not pointing out anyone specific, I’m not. It’s me. I know that.

So I’m just … I have to make myself go back to holding with an open hand. I’ve been clutching madly, being desperate for attention, and I have to stop. I’m /not/ alone, I’m not lonely, I’m just obsessed sometimes.

So just … if I’ve tagged you, it’s just so you know, that I’m sorry, and I’m letting go. I’ll stop holding on so much, and just step back, and let you come to me if you want to. And if you don’t come it’s okay. I promise.

“I already regret this.”

Summer coloured, ducking her head. “It’s very kind of you to say so, my lord. Camelot because — well, for one, because there is you. There aren’t very many young heirs or young lords just now, so of course I should come to where the folk of my age and rank are gathering, and that is here, around you.” Ducking under an outstretched limb, she went on, “Also Camelot, for good or ill, is a leader to the lands around. To know the temper of Camelot is to know which way many of the other kingdoms will incline. It’s not just the knights’ training I hope to take home, but friendship here. I think I haven’t done so badly there.” She grinned at him.

Arthur grinned at her coloring and nodded. He understood that Camelot stood out like the beacon it was sometimes, the leader of the five kingdoms, determined to bring peace to all of the neighboring kingdoms and villages. They would just have to hope that they’d want the same as himself. Peace for everyone.  “I’m glad if you are finding the friendships you were hoping for Summer. I know that everyone enjoys your company here and they all like you here.”

“This is entirely too much flattery.” She bit at her lips, trying not to smile and ruin the joke. “I grow suspicious of your motives, my lord. What is it you’re trying to gain by saying such kind things?”

“You know, you’ve never told me about your home. I’d like to hear about it someday if you’re up for telling.” He smiled as they rode. “Everyone seems to say they learn something here. I wonder what they do end up learning. We’re happy to have you here.”

“I don’t mind talking about it. It’s not as though I ran away. But with my twin married, and Edward — well, it was just better that I went away. And, too, there’s nowhere better to observe the workings of a great castle than Camelot.” Summer slid the reins through her hands, contemplatively. “The way you train your knights, too — Edward can’t leave Dobria, but I can bring him this knowledge and make us stronger against Odin.”

Arthur listened in as Summer spoke about her home. “Why Camelot though? We’re far from your home as it is. Not that I’m not happy you’re here, you’ve brought a fresh air here that has changed the darkness that’s been surrounding us as of late. I’m glad that how the knights are trained will be of help against Odin.”

Summer coloured, ducking her head. “It’s very kind of you to say so, my lord. Camelot because — well, for one, because there is you. There aren’t very many young heirs or young lords just now, so of course I should come to where the folk of my age and rank are gathering, and that is here, around you.” Ducking under an outstretched limb, she went on, “Also Camelot, for good or ill, is a leader to the lands around.

“Oh, very well. I miss home sometimes, but Camelot is such an exciting place to be! I’ve been able to learn quite a lot.” Carefully she doesn’t add, ‘and then there’s you,’ because that would be absurd, and everyone loves Arthur anyway. He doesn’t need his ego boosted any more. “I’m very grateful to be able to stay.”

“Absolutely.” She turned swiftly, gave him a brilliant smile, and was off again, darting over to the stables, bright hair flaring out behind her. Without waiting for help, she swung up into the saddle.

Arthur chuckled and walked faster to make it to the stables. He followed after her and got up onto his horse, starting to lead away from the area. “So, ready for our adventure?”

“I was born ready, my lord!” Summer let Arthur take the lead, but kept close on his heels. The ride was nice, with the sun shining down warmly and the trees just beginning to turn. And, too, it was thrilling just to be out with Arthur, just the two of them.

Arthur chuckled at Summer’s reaction as they rode out. He couldn’t admit out loud but he did love the weather. He liked warmth and the sun was very bright on this day. “So how has everything been with you Summer?”

“Oh, very well. I miss home sometimes, but Camelot is such an exciting place to be! I’ve been able to learn quite a lot.” Carefully she doesn’t add, ‘and then there’s you,’ because that would be absurd, and everyone loves Arthur anyway.
