They have swords, we have guile.

I'd wish you luck m'lady but I'm not certain just guile will be enough against trained men with sharp swords.

sticking in a bit of canon here, but feel free to ignore if it's very different from your interp!

[The Lady smiles at Lancelot --Galahad to her people, and bearer of the fallen Lady of the Lake's blood-- unperturbed by his... warning? urging for caution? She isn't sure and she doesn't mind either way.]

You wish us luck? Does Arthur know you would say such things to a witch of the wilds? [Which is how the Christians see her, as she knows all too well.]

I'm familiar with the general mythos but not your specific canon

[He was just being polite. He wasn't aware just whom she was. As such his eyebrows narrows slightly.]

The king is not aware of my every move. Nor does he harbor hatred the same way Uther did. If such thing is that he dislikes me talking to you, that would have to stand for him.

[Lancelot isn't the image of a God fearing Christian one would think. His sins weight heavily on him.]

okay, i'll play to that then c:

[She knows a little of the whispers of Lancelot's distraction. Nimue may not know this man personally, but she is well connected and Lancelot is a storied knight within even Arthur's court. If nothing else, the less tethered to Christianity a man is, the easier it is for her to have a conversation with him that doesn't feel like she's knocking her head against a wall.]

A knight who thinks for himself beyond his god. That is refreshing. [She tips her head, curious.]

I agree, by the by. Simply guile would not be enough. But given the choice, I would rather have a few swordsmen with intellect than a hoard of unthinking soldiers.

[She should meet his son... he's more templar than knight.]

I'd not say that. God's Will is unquestionable. I was raised to be polite to women.

An skilled swordsman is better than 10 dumb men. Alas numbers are an advantage still.
