Nightmares of death(Arthur)

[Lady Lilly Ide]

Lilly was sleeping in her chambers when she woke up sweating from a nightmare of her parents death. She slowly pulled the sheets of her bed back and grabbed her robe off her edge of her bed. She walked barefoot in her long white nightgown and open the door and slowly made her way to Arthur's chambers. She knocked on the door after passing the knights standing there. "Arthur it's Lilly can we talk please." Lilly said waiting at the door for Arthur to let her in.


Her parents where killed on their way back to the kingdom and Lilly found them dead. She knew Arthur would let her in. "It's about my nightmares again." Lilly said threw the door as she looked back at the knights standing there then back at the door. She could hear someone moving in the room. She hopped she wasn't bothering him but he seemed to be the she felt safe with.

[Prince Arthur Pendragon]

Arthur awoke with a start.

It was some time between midnight and dawn, and up until the knock upon his door he had been having a rather exciting dream. He had been hunting some kind of rare animal and he was just bringing it home to his father when he had been interrupted and his dream world shattered. He wearily rubbed his eyes, trying to work out what had woken him, when he heard a whisper at his door; Lilly again.

Pulling on a shirt and a pair of loose trousers that were laying about his chambers, Arthur padded quietly to the door, he yawned on the way- silently wishing he was still in bed.
He couldn't be angry at Lilly though, she had been a friend for as long as he could remember and the death of her parents had hit her hard. Luckily the king had allowed her to stay in the castle, and somehow she had managed to wrangle a room just down the hall from the royal chambers and the prince. How fortunate Arthur mused sarcastically as he tried to flatten his sleep-mussed hair.

He pulled open the heavy door and turned back to his bed, leaving Lilly to shut it behind her. He wasn'y trying to be rude at all, he just simply wasn't awake enough to worry about good manners and courtesy. He assumed that Lilly wouldn't mind, and if she did then perhaps in future she wouldn't wake him up!

"Is everything alright?" He asked, sitting down on his bed and signalling to the chair opposite for Lilly. She looked startled and her face seemed almost as pale as the nightdress she wore. She had clearly been in a hurry to get here because her feet were still bare. The thought shook Arthur and he pulled himself together, trying to be more accommodating.

"Tell me about the nightmare?" He asked, smiling kindly.
