(Well, I am amused so far. Also, DF Orkneys are totally canon, what are you saying?)
Drabble!:
In the castle, the tapestries, woven by Gawain's people for their King, hang along the walls to welcome the one who comes home. They are rich with the spirits of the Orkneys.
There were no tapestries in their mother's time. Then, when Mordred caught Gaheris to pull him away for a kiss, they ducked into another empty room, or fled to the standing stones, they sometimes laughed. Things are different now. They press close shielded by billows of red cloth, pretending the ghosts don't remind them every moment: soon they will both be orphans.
