Galahad nodded. "I will try to, my lady. But it will be a difficult journey and I am afraid I can make no guarantees."

"I wouldn't expect you to," Elaine said. "It will be enough to know that you are out there doing great deeds. I hope my favour bring you lots and lots of luck!"

"I am sure it will if it is anything like you, my lady." Galahad replied.

She giggled up at him and put her hand on his arm where he had tied her favour.
"You know exaclty how to please a lady. I think Sir Lancelot was right and you are exactly the man I was supposed to give my favour too. Maybe one day you can win a tournament in my hounour too."

"I would like to do that very much. Although I suppose it might have to be one without Lancelot in it, I have never been very successful riding against him." Galahad admitted.

"Has anyone," Lancelot asked with a smirk, the wait was incredibly boring, "Things are changing though, perhaps that will also."

Elaine looked between the two in confusion as the Bishop walked to the front and began turning pages in his Bible.
"Do you think Sir Galahad will become a better knight than you, Sir Lancelot?"

"Probably not, I was just saying that stranger things have happened recently than Galahad beating me in the joust." Lancelot clarified with a smile that showed he was only teasing.

"Oh. Like the vision. Of course. I would hate to see the two of you ride against each other. Brothers shouldn't ever have to do that. It seems so horribly unfair," Elaine whispered.
The priest was starting to intone the words of the first prayer but he spoke in Latin, a tongue Elaine did not speak.

Galahad had opened his mouth to reply but closed it as the priest began. It would be very improper to speak during the prayer and he hoped Lancelot didn't embarrass himself by doing so.

Merlin arrived late from the Beltane fires, smelling of the smoke and ash of the fires, in stark contrast to the heavily incensed chapel. He took a seat near the back, wishing his entry not to be a distraction to those present.

Not a Christian, so not particularly caring if they thought him improper for turning round, he looked when he heard Merlin enter and smirked, thinking that in the minds of most of the Christians they would think it would have been better if he had not bothered coming.

Galahad noticed Lancelot turn, but made no move to intervene. Wishing his brother would behave himself, he returned his attention to the prayer, as was proper.

Elaine sat in suppressed excitement as the Bishop intoned the prayers with due solemnity. Arthur, seated at the front beside Queen Igraine, was oddly still for a change. Those who knew him well were aware that he was inclined to fidget when he had to sit still, but not today. The Bishop said several prayers and then led the congregation in a song. The words were Latin, as with the prayers, but the songs were familiar to those who attended regularly. Elaine sang with youthful passion, her voice high and sweet and angelic. Queen Igraine's voice was slightly deeper and richer and she sang with confidence. But when Arthur sang it was quickly evident that he could not sing at all. He had no sense of key and wavered from note to note, slightly out of time with everyone else. A few of the younger Christians had to stop singing to bite their lips or cover their mouths to stifle laughter at the king's inability to carry a tune.

Merlin scowled at the snickering youths, taking the king's inability to sing personally. He had taught Arthur on every subject imaginable; astrology, astronomy, economics, reading, writing, morality, philosophy, arithmetic, history, physics, biology, as well as dozens of others. Albeit, he had done it in his own unique way, aided by his magic. In all the work he put in forming the young Wart into the perfect king, could he be blamed for not teaching the boy to sing? He thanked the christian and pagan gods that Archimedes was not there to witness it. The bird would have likely laughed himself to death.
