Oh, good. Nice to know I'm not the only mortalborn woman on here.

No. Sir Gawain is with us as well.

I noticed! But, last I checked, he wasn't a woman.

Ha! All right. You have a point. He is most definitely not a woman.

But, hey, girl power, right? Even if we are from different stories.

Agreed, though I think yours might be a tad more cheerful than my own.

Oh, I don't know... What's the worst thing that happened in your stories?

I locked away the advisor to the true king.

Hmmm. Ok.

I had a father who hated me and sent innocent people to their death on a regular basis, a literal monster for a half-brother. The one guy I stuck my neck out for and saved the life of abandoned me on an island after promising to make me his queen, and then later went after my little sister. I got killed by a stray arrow. The good news was that I did end up with a god.

Oh. I apologize. I shouldn't have gotten us onto such a depressing subject.

Oh, that's just how it goes for us Greeks. We don't just find trouble--we find it by the clusterfuck.

Greetings, Ariadne! I am the Sir Gawain to whom my friend Nimue refers ... and I quite adamantly believe in lady power!

Ah, the knight. Well, it's good a princess to have knights around, even if she's capable of saving herself, right?

I have no doubts you are perfectly capable of taking care of yourself. It has always been a pleasure for me, as a knight, to meet ladies who would join me as a seeker rather than serve as an object to seek.

Heh. You're a charmer, aren't you? I'm not really sure that I'm seeking anything right now, except maybe some answers.

Perhaps the best answer we can all get out of this is to start asking more questions of ourselves and the universe.

Yeah? And what question are you asking first?

Given our newly rediscovered divine status, what can we do to help improve the world?

So it seems.

By the way, since he's decided to say hello, he's very sweet. Some said that after Lancelot, Gawain is the perfect example of what a knight should be.

...wasn't Lancelot the one who had the affair with the queen? I'd certainly hope he was a better example.

Yes, but before that Lancelot was always held up as the example of a true knight. In truth, he earned the reputation which was why his fall from grace was so surprising and saddening.

I see... Are you playing matchmaker? The knight with the princess?

I wouldn't dream of being so presumptuous!

But I could find it in me to let you know if he ever comes to Seattle for that giggle fest we spoke of in watching bad Arthurian film.
