Hallewes was interested in what was in her cup. She truly had no idea what she desired most to drink.
Instead she put her cup down. She didnt want to really know.

Dina grinned and took a sip. It was her favourite drink, something that he mother used to make her in Listeneise.

Iseult, whose cup had been empty at the time was suddenly filled with a yellowish white liquid that she recognised as sweet whey, her favourite drink from when she was a little girl.
She reached out and took the goblet and smelt it, slightly suspicious before taking a sip of it.

Morgan's goblet was filled with mead. She gazed up reverentially where the maiden had disappeared.
Arthur meanwhile drank a frothy beer and then he signalled to his herald, who blew a horn for quiet. Arthur climbed up onto the table, crown gleaming in his golden hair and cloak flowing down his back.
"My lords and ladies, I bid you welcome to Camelot! I hope you have all enjoyed the feast thus far. There is much food and wine still to be consumed if you have a mind, but I beg a moment of your time. We have been blessed with a miracle. We have glimpsed the Holy Grail. I have been invited to sip from the holy vessel and have been granted a vision. I know now what it is I must do to unite Britain under the Pendragon banner. Friends, we must seek the Thirteen Sacred Treasures, including the Holy Grail itself! I ask your help, knights, sorcerors, druids, and all who seek honour. Who is with me?"
As a clamour went through the room, Morgan le Fay stood.
"I'm with you, my lord."
"And I," said Viviane, Lady of the Lake.
"And I," this from Sir Sagramore in his far corner of the room.

Dindrane stood. "I will come." She said, blushing deeply.

Before Mark could say anything, the Prince of Lyonesse rose from his seat his eyes shining.
"I, Tristram of Lyonesse am with you Lord King." he called loudly above the din.

Lancelot gave his brother a look and then stepped forwards slightly, "I would follow you anywhere, sire." he exclaimed from where he stood now. He was hoping for some deed that would let his name live on through the ages, and this would do just nicely.

Dinadan groaned as Tristram eagerly committed himself to the quest. "Surely you could have partaken in a less challenging quest." he said to Tristram. "Could we not have bravely guarded the castle while all the knights were gone?"
///////////////////
"And I as well, your grace." Galahad called, before taking a refreshing sip of the pure water that had appeared in his cup. He turned to Lancelot. "Do you not see the truth of Christianity now, brother?" he asked.

Arthur smiled round at all who had spoken so far.
"Thank you, my friends. Do we have any others who wish to join us?"
Morgause remained firmly in her seat, as did the two old men, Gaius and Geoffrey of Monmouth, but Arthur had never expected them to volunteer.
"I will come!"
The speaker was the king's squire, Thomas. Laughter spread around the room. Arthur frowned.
"All who wish to come may do so," he said firmly. "I will have no mockery of the volunteers."

Dinadan groaned as Tristram eagerly committed himself to the quest. "Surely you could have partaken in a less challenging quest." he said to Tristram. "Could we not have bravely guarded the castle while all the knights were gone?" "This is a chance for glory and renown Dinadan!" exclaimed Tristram excitedly. "We succeed at this and our names will be remembered long after we are dead and gone. What more can a man ask for?"

Hallewes gave a slight shake of her head. Her mouth setin a small frown.

"Comfort. Warmth. Quality Food. A roof above our heads and a nice comfortable bed." Dinadan sighed. "I could go on but I see you are intent on this madness."
Not prepared to abandon his friend Dinadan stood. "That is good to hear, your grace." Dinadan called, "For I shall be coming as well."

Tristram beamed at his friend with affection and slapped his back with his open hand. "That's it Dinadan!. Oh what adventures we shall have."
His wide smile faltered slightly, when he saw Mark staring at him with a face of thunder.

"You are welcome, Sir Dinadan!" Arthur called back. "We will meet tomorrow at noon, in the Council Chamber."
He looked around to see if there was anyone else interested.

Dagonet stood up as well, "I shall join you in this quest as well my King."

"You are welcome, Sir Dagonet," Arthur said, smiling as he got down from the table.
