If you forget again, there's always this. [ She lets go of Maya's hand so she can physically tug the corners of her mouth up into a grin. Nobody tell her that doesn't really count. ]
Of course it does. And even if it doesn't, it'll help you remember.
[ She grins even wider as she lets go. ]
That's why I'll remind you whenever you need it. I swear it on my sword. [ Damn, she's almost being a good knight today. Look what happens when she forgets to hate her dad for five seconds. ]
... No, that's right. I mean, if you want an idea of what a knight should be, King Arthur is pretty much it. But if I surpass him, it proves I'm better.
I'm Mordred, the Treacherous Knight. So I'll keep working until I surpass her, as a knight and a king. Don't you think that's the ultimate form of rebellion? [ It's the only way she knows how to live her life. ]

[ who knew, not hating your dad made you slightly cool! ]
But thanks... I might need that.

Huh? Hey, why is that a surprise? I'm knightly all the time! Just because I'm not like my stiff-headed father, doesn't mean I don't know how to act!

[ And now she knows more than one! Amazing. ]
