Who: Lancelot and Amanda De Luca
What: Lance is broken-hearted over Guinevere and decides to get out of his usual habits and go out on a 'date' with a new friend.
When: Wednesday night
Where: Amanda's place then somewhere out then Amanda's place again (to see her home like a good knight).
Note: Posted as a favour
Lancelot's chest felt so heavy. Gwen had really ripped it out of him this time, he almost felt like a ghost just idly passing through day to day. He hardly had the energy to get up for this 'date' he'd asked Amanda out on. If he were entirely honest he was just jumping on the idea of being around someone that wasn't him playing cops and robbers all day long. He needed some change in his lifestyle, especially with Guinevere pushing a wall between them.
He supposed he had chosen Arthur first. To Lancelot they were no longer kings and queens or knights. Arthur did not own Guinevere. If legend painted anything about them, Gwen's heart could never fully belong to anyone other than Lancelot. Times had started to fast-forward and Lancelot had to let it take him forward. It ached, oh it ached something horrible.
Amanda had requested six, so Lancelot showed up at 5:45. Right on the nose dressed nice and casual for the evening. His car was indeed a white Mustang. Fitting for the white knight.

Fortunately for both of them Amanda had no idea about the immortals, nor that the very man she had come to know was in fact Lancelot. Or that his old flame Guinevere was in town and that she was essentially competing with her. This was all for the better, because Amanda would likely have a panic attack and check herself into an asylum if she ever got word of such things.
Which was why it was very fortunate she had no clue. For now she settled on an outfit for her date. At least, she assumed this was an actual date so if it were anything but she really hoped Lance said something before flirting ensued.
She stood outside waiting for him and when the white Mustang pulled up and he got out she couldn't help laughing. "You were serious. You have a trusty white steed."

It wasn't fair to Amanda that he could only see Guinevere in his thoughts. The entire ride to her house he felt himself on the shaky side. He hadn't felt this bad since Arthur confronted him and nearly burned Guinevere at the stake.
He had to check his feelings at the door the moment he got out of the car to greet Amanda with a suave smile. He held out his arm to walk her to the door, opening it before letting her in. "Her name is Vivian."
He hadn't even noted Amanda's outfit, his mind was somewhere else.

Luckily for Amanda, she had very few past relationships she could call 'serious' and she wasn't even sure if she ever wanted one like that. What she did know was that she liked Lance. He was charming, handsome, and had the sexiest accent on the planet. He had a lot going for him, so who could blame her for being a teensy bit curious? If they ended up just friends that would be fine with her, but she had to see where this could lead.
Smiling at him, she took his arm. "Very nice," she said, nodding at the car. "Vivian is a sexy name, I must say." She slipped into the passenger seat. While she noted he hadn't complimented her outfit, she took little offense. If she really wanted to impress she wouldn't be offended with compliments about her clothes.
She watched as he got into the car. "Are you alright? You seem a little distracted."

Vivian was his mother in all accounts, he gave her credit even when she wasn't there. She'd raised him. To him 'sexy' wasn't quite the word he'd use but he nodded anyway.
"Drinks and a bar or dinner first?" he asked, "I await the lady's desire."
"I'm a little distracted, I'll admit." He turned giving her an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry in advance."

It didn't take Amanda long to make her decision. "Why have drinks at a bar when we can have them with dinner?" It seemed perfectly logical to her. "And if we feel like it we can always go to a bar afterward."
Amanda smiled, "It's alright. After all those things you said yesterday I can understand why your mind might be wandering. People say to live past things, but that isn't always easy."

"Nicely done." She was flirtatious with him to a point, but it felt new all of this when he had only had one woman in his heart for so long. This was going to take some time, he wasn't even ready for it, but what knight was entirely ready. You proceeded forward no matter how bad you were dragged down. He felt very heavy.
"It's been a hard few days, but I'll manage. I always do. I've gotten used to keeping my feelings at bay and move on."
