Some floating Squires Tales heads. What lovely characters :3 (Gareth, Gawain, Gaheris, Lynet, Terence, and Eileen because I finished rereading Savage Damsel last week)
A game played on board ship in warm climates, in which a person, grotesquely personating King Arthur, is drenched with buckets of water until he can, by making one of his persecutors smile or laugh, change places with him.
MORDRED: You have his eyes, by the way. TASHA: Shut up. TASHA: Who’s eyes. MORDRED: Tristan de Lyoness, the knight you’re related to.
Tasha Barren, of the House Tristan, is probably a descendant of Sir Tristan. She is on probation for murder, but she got the permission to travel to Bangkok to partecipate in a training/tournament at Gunner’s dojo. The event is mostly a meet up of people who think (with irony or with true seriousness) they are the descedent of arthurian knights. She is probably the best fighter in the group and she doesn’t have a lot of patience, but she truly believes she is related to Sir Tristan.
While guarding Mordred, Tasha finds out that Mordred used an alien’s glove to find out everything about her: that she killed her own father in self defense, that she wants to know more about her destiny. Following her own curiosity, Tasha puts on the alien glove and touches Mordred, trusting the fact that the man desperately wants to know who he is and she wants to find out as well. Reading into Mordred’s soul and past, Tasha seems to start sympathizing with him and she truly believes Mordred wants to stop working with his mother. When Mordred sacrifices himself to save Jenna in the final battle, Tasha and the others try to convince him that there is no hell, and he won’t be damned forever. At the end, she promises to use her life for justice and to defend the pure.
MERLIN: What did you dream of? IGRAINE: I dreamt a husband who treated me as equal.
Igraine is Uther’s wife and she loved him also if she feared him. All she every wanted was to be treated as equal but she never complained about Uther and ther marriage. After Uther’s death, Igrane finds herself falling in love with Merlin and trying to restore the lost relationship with his son Arthur.
