♞ duty first,
( backtrack to when lancelot first came back to camelot w/ @twxarthur )
lancelot laughed along with the other knights as they fooled around in their training. two of them were horse-playing and lancelot watched from the sidelines. after so many years in the lady of the lake’s kingdom, it felt good to be around other people. not just her or her strange minions. sometimes, it felt like a dream.
his return to camelot was strange to say the least. he didn’t remember it. he was eight when he left. he was nearly twenty-four now. camelot was to be ruled by arthur soon. arthur was an infant when he left. and now he was training to be a knight that would protect arthur. he hadn’t had a chance to really meet him yet. he saw him when he bowed in front of the king and offered his servitude.
he glanced away for a moment, looking around him when he caught sight of arthur coming their way. he jumped from his position on the wooden gate he sat on and bowed his head, surprising the other knights who realized a moment after, bowing just as he did.
