High King Arthur

The Grandfather of Albion!  
Well, this is very very exciting indeed! There's an unexpected lull in the usual meetings for the kingdom of Albion and so one High King is free to roam at will.

A few decades ago, this sort of thing would immediately call for extra training, or maybe some hunting, but now Arthur has something much more important to do (and it has nothing to do with age! No matter what Merlin suggests).

He is on his way to visit his grandson!

Little Custen is just over a month old now, and though Arthur sees him quite often he's especially exciting about this particular visit. He has something for the newest generation of Pendragons. Something quite precious indeed.

Hopefully, the baby won't be napping.

"I know I was just teasing." Arthur laughs shaking his head with a grin. He turns back to look at his grandson.

"Well, you can't really blame them, we Pendragon's are blessed and curse by our looks." No self-esteem problems there.

"Now, Custen, I have a little present for you." He reches into the pouch around his tunic and draws out a small silver disc. "Something special for my first born grandchild."

He clears his throat because even after all these years it's still an emotional subject. "It belonged to your great-grandmother."

Tarrwyn moves a little closer to look. Custen, in true baby fashion, just waves his arms at the shiny object.

"Is that Ygraine's?" Tarrwyn's just as fascinated. For all the criticism she's heard of Uther, there's never been an unkind word said about his queen.

"It's beautiful."

Arthur chuckles at Custen and moves the sigil about so it catches the sunlight.

He looks up at his daughter-in-law with a wistful look. "It was. It's the only thing of hers I have. But I want Custen to have it."

Tarrwyn's going to be, well, Tarrwyn, and give what she always does with presents: a hug and a kiss on the cheek. She's always one to be enthusiastic with all presents, and her gratitude is always genuine. It's been the same since she first arrived in Camelot.

"Custen couldn't have a better grandfather." Her son, though, is still playing with the shiny new object. "I should hang it over his cot, so he'll see it every morning."
