"Taliesin, welcome," Arthur called over to the bard. "Take a seat. You might play a little for us while we wait."

Galahad gave his mother a curt nod before looking away.

Taliesin bows to Arthur before leaning against a pillar and removing his flute. The small wind instrument was what he first learned to play, and only plays it for those he deems worthy. King Arthur Pendragon is one of those few. The tune he plays is one of his homeland, meant to provoke images of rolling hills and mighty forests.

Lancelot smiled widely to his mother from where he sat, "How were the celebrations, Mother? I am sorry I had to miss them." He said, making small talk before the others arrived.

Arthur smiled as Taliesin began to play. Meanwhile, Morgan and Vivian unrolled a map of the kingdom and placed some books at the corners to keep it flat.

"Sir Palomides," Arthur greeted the Saracen knight. "Please take a seat."
Sir Sagramore slipped in just after Palomides. About half of the group had arrived now, maybe a few more.

Palomides took a seat easily, and began to study the other knights.

Galahad scowled as Palomides eyes passed over him. He wondered what a Saracen was doing on a quest for christian artifacts.

Dinadan noticed Galahad's scowl. "Who is the scowling knight?" he asked Tristram.

Arthur looked around at the group.
"Firstly, everyone, I will ask one favour of you all. We are of multiple faiths here. I would prefer not to have our differences cause problems between us so I ask each of you not to seek provocation against those of a faith that is not your own."

Taliesin stopped playing and slid his flute away, letting the music fade rather than causing an abrupt silence. He would not purposely seek out a conflict with the christians in the group, since he knows he would lose.

Morgan leaned close to Taliesin and whispered "You play very well." Arthur was impatiently watching the door, tapping his hand on his chair.

Dindrane ran in she held a book in her arms and gave a hasty curtsy, managing to drop the book
"Sorry" she mumbled her face scarlet as she retrieved the tome.

Dinadan noticed Galahad's scowl. "Who is the scowling knight?" he asked Tristram. Tristram looked over to where Dinadan was indicating and nodded. "I think that is Galahad and that he is the brother of Sir Lancelot over there." he whispered as Arthur began to speak.
