You're late. Or did you enjoy keeping me waiting?
Well I am the king of knights am I not late? A lot on my plate. And enjoy? No, no I definitely didn't enjoy waiting. Didn't you know, my enemies are yours too so if I took long, my knights would hurt you laughs. What do you have for me?
Don't play dumb with me, Arthur. I'm not here to talk about your stupid kingdom or your knights.
Oh, sorry for my confusion. But yeah uh..we're good? Got any ideas on where to go from here?
Listen up, idiot. I came here because I need your help with something important. And if you think you can just brush it off or act all high and mighty, think again. I won't tolerate it. Now, quit wasting my time and start taking this seriously!
Hey! Take it easy, I'm just trying to understand the situation. What do you need help with?
Look, just shut up and listen, okay? I need your help tracking down someone who's been causing trouble for me lately. This person goes by the name of Cu Chulainn. He's got some kind of silly grudge against me, and I want him taken care of. Can you handle that? Or are you too busy being a hero and saving the world?
Well. I've met cu chulainn before he's annoying as hell but he's pretty tough. We'll put him down right away. Now what else can I help you with before the peasant army comes over to bother us?
That's more like it, idiot. Now, let's get down to business. We need to gather information about Cu Chulainn's whereabouts.
Can't exactly ask rachel or gala to help us find him...hmph, well then. See ya. Gotta go take care of some peasant squabbles.
Hold on a minute, idiot. I didn't say you could leave yet. I still need your help gathering information.
narrows eyes Good. Now, here's what we're going to do. First, we'll head to the nearest village and gather any information we can from the locals. Then, we'll move on to the nearest castle and see if we can find any clues there. And finally, if all else fails, we'll have to use my trickery to lure Cu Chulainn out into the open. Do you think you can handle that, or do I need to find someone else to help me?
I can handle it, where to first?
Alright, listen up. Our first stop is a small village nearby. We need to find someone who knows something about Cu Chulainn's whereabouts.
Sure thing. As king of the knights, it'll be best if they know I'm coming and don't freak out too much. Wait. It might be better if you spoke to them. They'd trust a fellow knight more than me. chuckles
Fine, if you think it'll make them more comfortable, I'll speak to them. But don't think for a second that I trust them any more than you do.
Yeah yeah waves goodbye and rides off
approaches the villagers Excuse me, good people. I seek information about a man named Cu Chulainn. Have any of you seen him recently?
hides in bushes out of sight
leans in closer to the villagers You wouldn't happen to know anything about his plans or whereabouts, would you? If you do, I promise you'll be rewarded handsomely for your troubles. Villager 1: looks nervous Uh, well, we've heard rumors that he's been seen in a nearby cave. But we don't know much else.
Oh? This is the info he's looking for. Thanks guys. whispers to mordred
whispering to EtherealLakes Good job, kid. Now let's head to the cave and see if we can find any other clues or maybe even Cu Chulainn himself.
As you said to me. Your trickery. sighs, kicks horse into gallop heading toward the cave
as they approach the cave, Mordred notices that it's heavily guarded Damn it, looks like Cu Chulainn has set up quite the defense system here. We're going to have to come up with a plan to get past them. Any ideas, genius?
Best part is..you didn't bring my brothers did you? Too hot-headed and impulsive.
smirks Don't worry, I left them back at base. They're too much of a liability for a mission like this.
Perfect. This is just us two then, go ahead and start off and I'll follow your lead.

pauses for a moment to catch her breath, scanning the area for any other potential threats Alright, we made it past the guards.
