[ Back in Horos... Things were more tense back then, but even so, Gray can't imagine Eustace doing anything legitimately offensive without him knowing it. She'll just chalk it up to Mordred being Mordred. ]

If it helps, she didn't like me much at first either. If it weren't for my face, she probably would've stopped paying attention to me.

[ That detail comes out of her with surprising ease; the topic of her face was once close to taboo, but she can at least be (fairly) certain that the legend of King Arthur would mean nothing to Eustace. ]

Actually, she was a famous knight, but it sounds like she didn't like a lot of the other knights. Maybe you remind her of them.

[ The suggestion isn't completely serious, but she could see Eustace as a knight in a different universe. ]
