Title: Giantkiller Rating: G Summary: Gary sometimes wishes he wasn't a desk knight. Prompted by a discussion with Kat. Drabble.
Gary learnt long ago that most squires didn’t want a desk knight as their knight-master. It really didn’t bother him, after all, his closest friends, both hardened warriors, felt no need for one. But then things changed.
The Girl came. And after a time, Raoul would sing her praises at every opportunity. Gary could see the adoration in her eyes, as if Raoul were her own personal hero. He wanted that.
Some days he wondered what it would have been like if things were different. If he wasn’t the Prime Minister.
Gary the Giantkiller. He liked the sound of that.

I like the sound of that too ;D
You struck a great wistful tone here; feeling very sympathetic to Gary now!!

Oh, it really is interesting to imagine Gary's reactions to his friends' changing job descriptions. As Raoul noted, they all started from the same point, and yet turned out so differently.

Thank you! ^.^ I think that's one of things I like about seeing the characters post-SotL, that they did end up doing different things and that they changed.
