Ein Nicken, ein Lächeln, bevor Xalur auf Roy sah und gedankenverloren seinen Kopf schief legte.
Von seinem Gürtel löste er einen kleinen Stoffbündel und entwickelte Handschellen, die er mit der Faust umfing. Ein Instrument konnte er bedauerlicherweise nicht spielen, also half er sich mit kleinen Rhythmuswerkzeugen, die er sacht im Takt bewegte.
Es war eine angenehme, heimeliche Athmosphäre, sodass er sich mehr als wohl fühlte und dementsprechend einige seiner gehörten Weisen und Geschichten zum Besten geben wollte, jedenfalls solange, wie man ihm zuhören wollte
King Tubald's knights they filled the table round,
Save for one who stood before them.
For once without a weapon,
For once he stood in shame.
The trial's charge was treason,
And betrayal of an oath.
And should his guilt be proven,
Death would fall on traitors both.
The knights would counsel Tubald's hard decision.
And Curion, his head held high said,
"I'm tried for love of Tamarina.
My crime was love."
The first to speak was Meg with sharpest tongue:
"He is a man like any other.
The word of Kings command him,
His heart does not obey.
For all his strength and boldness,
The knight's spirit is too weak.
His crime has no excuses,
And no favours may he seek.
The laws of Kings don't bend and can't be broken."
And Curion, his head held high said,
"I stand for love of Tamarina.
For pride in love."
"I know this knight right well," spoke bold Landin,
"And he has ever stood beside me.
With steel he's answered insults,
Defended chivalry.
And oft this man contended
For the honour of your wife.
His action were not proper,
But should not cost him his life.
His service past should earn of you some mercy."
And Curion his head held high said,
"I fought for love of Tamarina.
I'll fight for love."
Sir Menion spoke, "I love my uncle's wife.
For her I'd gladly suffer,
She is my heart's delight.
Isolde the one who tempts me,
And she for whom I'm pure.
My love for her confounds me,
And is all of which I'm sure.
I understand my brother's contradictions."
And Curion, his head held high said,
"I cry my love for Tamarina.
I've cried for love."
Spoke Yuncale, the purest of them all:
"Have no fear of predilection.
For though he is my father,
He is my source of shame.
He join in sinful union
With my unbeguiling mother.
And for all his claim at virtue,
He has gone and bed another.
The laws of God declare this act damnation."
And Curion, his head held high said,
"I lie in love with Tamarina.
I've lied for love."
As Tubald wept, he called the wrath of Heaven
On the lovers who'd betrayed him.
On the knight he had called 'brother'
Thought worthy of his trust.
On the queen who'd hid deception,
Yet could say she loved him still.
For lost innocence and beauty,
And in justice for their guilt.
King Tubald knew the only price for treason.
And Curion, his head held high said,
"I'll die in love with Tamarina.
I'd die for love."
