-Sir Lancelot, at your service-

-Thank you, that was amazing-

Larry and Lancelot shook hands, then I handed back his sword.

-Thank you, milady- he said with a kind smile -Are you okay? If it wasn't for me I think you would be gone by now. Do you need some rest?-

"Why do people who don't know me always think I can't handle myself?" I thought, trying not roll my eyes. Instead, I smiled at Lancelot. Afterall, he did save our lives.

-Thank you, Sir Lancelot. You're help was appreciated-

He bowed his head, then faced the others again. Teddy streched out his hand to Lancelot

-Theodor Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States of America-

Lancelot shook his hand with a smile

-I have no idea what that means-

-I'm Larry, and this is my son Nick- said Larry

-You have a noble face, Nick- said Lancelot

-Ehm, thanks-

-Hey, ehm, thanks for the help- said Larry

-You. You remind me of someone I knew in Camelot-

Larry smiled with pride

-Oh, one of the... Knights of the Round Table?-

-No, Erik!-

There was a moment of silence

-Our fool-

Amelia snickered

-He was the funniest fool I have ever met! He was so good. He didn't have to do anything, he would just walk into the room and you'd laugh. You have what he had, the gift. You could be a fool-

-Ehm, I don't know about that-

-Oh, come on, of course you can! We'll get you one of those... hats with those funny little dangly bells-

-Dangly bells-

Lancelot burst out laughing

-"Dangly bells". Didn't I tell you? The gift. Just like Erik-

-Sounds like a great guy, but we need to get going- Larry said, and we all started to walk away when Lancelot spoke again

-Oh, Camelot-

-Oh, okay...- sighed Larry

-One day, I shall go back to it's mighty towers. To King Arthur. And to my sweet Guinevere- he started -But so not until I'll have completed my quest. I must find the Holy Grail-

-Hmm. Okay, good luck with that. But, we gotta get to Egypt, so thanks again for the help, and goodbye-

We started to walk away, but Lancelot followed us

-I will lead you!-

-No, it's okay, we have an expert who can take us there...-

-Hold, Dangly Bells! There's strange magic in the air- Lancelot started

"That's probably me, but okay go on" I thought

-And dangerous beast are afoot. It is the duty a true knight to protect and care for those in need. We're off- he concluded, and exited the room

I rolled my eyes and followed him with the others

-Wow, I'm surprised you still haven't killed him- said Ahk -Because for your standards, he would be pretty dead by now-
