Summer reached up and rapped his head. “Cruel Mordred. Shall I challenge you to a bout, then?”

“Oh! Oh, /now/ you are willing to fight me?” She squirmed around to face him, lifting eyebrows and making an amused face. “Now that you’ve seen me fight?”
*locks Mordred and Arthur in a box* NOW KISS
“Were there now? I have no memory of this. You should repeat them, I think.”
