It took Artie several minutes to gather herself enough to face the couple. Part of that was because she had to steel herself to not reveal that she had kissed Sir Lamorak today. If Lady Guinevere found that out, it was going to spell the end to her calm.
They had sent her away to calm her nerves. She would never hear the end of it if Lady Guinevere found out right now. She could already hear the squealing from Lady Guinevere's ladies in waiting in her mind's eye. That made her hesitate, and result in a longer wait time.
She was just hoping and praying that Sir Lamorak, Sir Kay, and Sir Geraint weren't at the dining hall when she arrived.
Trudging over to the happy couple, who were chatting quietly to each other, and they both looked up when she approached. Both smiled at the sight of her, and Artie gave a weak smile in return.
"Have you gathered yourself enough, Sir Artie?" Sir Lancelot teased, and Artie sighed.
Artie may or may not go on a kissing spree just to prove to Sir Lamorak how much it didn't matter that they kissed. Maybe.
