It had been a much needed retreat for Lancelot to feel included again. He still had a lot to work out for himself, but he'd made a new friend (two new friends) and felt for a long time he'd have preferred to stay there instead of going back. At least here he had friends to be at home with. The modern world left him no one that would welcome his return.
Marian had spoken many times of her band of Merry Men, and he found himself missing his own comrades. He did look forward to meeting them, she had assured him many times that he would always be welcome.
