Camelot Awakening

a Lancelaine moment

(Lancelot was leading the team through the halls, heading to their rooms. Merlin and Tristan were chatting with each other's. While Elaine and Lancelot were upfront walking together. It was quiet for the moment between the two. Sir Lancelot touches his face to where he was punched, and winces a bit. Elaine looks over to him, and notices) 

Elaine: That bruise, doesn't look to good

Lancelot: it's going to be fine

Elaine: Maybe you should see someone to help with it 

Lancelot: 

A punch doesn't scare me, I've faced many brutal battles before, that can be way scarier than than just one punch 

Elaine: Lancelot- 

Lancelot: Elaine.. I am telling you, I will be fine..!

Elaine: Okay, Okay, you're fine 

(Elaine exhales and she starts feeling anxious around people)

Elaine: You're not much of a talker are you?

Lancelot: What makes you say that? 

Elaine: it's just you seem- moody all the time

Lancelot: I am not moody 

(Elaine raise an eyebrow, looking at Sir Lancelot) 

Lancelot exhales: 

Alright, maybe I can be a bit moody towards people sometimes

Elaine: 

Well, you're not the only one who's having a hard time with emotions, you know

(Sir Lancelot was listening to Elaine, while walking) 

Elaine: 

I'm going to tell you something about me. That only me and my friend Tristan knows. I've been having a hard time dealing with anxiety lately. It has never been easy for me to overcome, anxiety is very difficult and hard to handle.  Because whenever I feel anxiety taking control, I felt as if the walls would cave in, and I find it harder to breathe. I would start to panic. Which is why it caused me to be more cautious around people. 

Lancelot: I'm sorry you had to go through all that 

Elaine: It's okay, um, I do the best I can to try and overcome my fears

Lancelot: 

During a battle war, I uh, saw people dying right in front of me. Afterwards, I didn't know how else to feel except just felt numb inside. Ahem. I've also never told this to anyone this before 

(Elaine nods and smiles, knowing Sir Lancelot needed someone to talk to as well) 

Elaine: You know, I guess you and I aren't so different

Lancelot: What do you mean?

Elaine: 

Well, I can tell that you didn't want want people to get hurt, and I want to be able help people, and protect them  

Lancelot: Yeah, I guess the both of us have big hearts

(Elaine stood by Lancelot, and watches him as he escorts Merlin and Tristan to their rooms) 

Elaine: 

There's one thing I don't understand, what happened to Camelot? How come you allow him to punch you like that? For all that is obvious, he should be kicked off of that throne, he treats people horribly by not giving them money or any food, he doesn't deserve to be here in Camelot

Lancelot: 

I know Elaine, but he is the King, and insulting him would be an high act treason. 

Elaine: That's just absurd 

Lancelot: 

I know it is, but we have to understand somethings are just beyond our control 

(Elaine exhales, Lancelot placed his hands on Elaine's shoulder's) 

Lancelot: Try not to stress to much, m'lady

Lancelot: 

Although I should remind you the Pyrolyx is no game. For you have been challenged to one of the most challenging task, and no one here in Camelot has ever standed up against the King to go into the Pyrolyx like that before. So to get started, I suggest we start your training tomorrow, Would you be okay meeting me in front by the castle gate, first morning? 

Elaine: Tomorrow morning, castle gate, of course 

Elaine: And hey, not to worry, I'll be trained by one of the best Knights. 

(Elaine refers to Lancelot, and he smiles brightly. Elaine walks to her door)

Elaine: Goodnight Sir Lancelot

Lancelot smiles: Sleep well, Elaine, and goodnight

Lancelot: I hope this isn't the last time we will talk, with each other

Elaine smiles: I hope not too 

(Elaine closes the door and Sir Lancelot then head bumps against Elaine's door, on the other side Elaine had her hand placed on the door thinking about Lancelot for a moment and head bumped her head against the wall too. Sir Lancelot then leaves, and Elaine went to bed. A couple of moments later, Elaine kept on having the same nightmare again. She wakes up feeling overwhelmed, she let out an exhale, and tries to go back to her sleep)
