[ As colorful as that description is, it does sound accurate. Mordred's incredulity puts Gray in a fluster, and she scrambles for an answer that isn't a lie but doesn't give away too much either. ]
Ah, well, he was like a guardian figure of sorts in the village cemetery, so I was always curious to know more about him...
[ How he was in life rather than how he is as a pseudo-personality or jumbled up spirit. ]
Jeez. Between that and my old lady, it's like your village is tryin' to piss me off.
[ Though, Mordred would probably be annoyed about the involvement of any of the Knights of the Round, so that's really not saying much. She raises an eyebrow at what seems like an overly reactive response from Gray, but chalks it up to her own attitude, and not anything suspicious. ]
He was father's first knight, but he wasn't even with his king at the end. I doubt he could have stopped me, anyway, but does that sound like a guardian to you? [ That's not what Gray's asking; she just has some residual bitterness to get out. No, being literally fucking dead isn't an excuse. ] Kay was a complete ass. His skill with a sword was a joke, but he was so freakin' annoying that his enemies would rather kill themselves than listen to him. I suppose he was at least competent enough as a seneschal, even if the role made him arrogant beyond belief... or perhaps that's just the way he was from the start. I don't really know, nor do I care.
[ A part of her wants to protest that Kay was with his king long after the end, in service to this day even if the conditions have become abstract. Even though Gray didn't know the man when he was alive, she still feels that she owes a lot to him.
... With that said, Mordred's description sounds awfully familiar. An annoying, arrogant ass? All of those things survived the distillation process that created Add. Despite herself, a fond, relieved smile floats to Gray's face. It's good to know that even if Add is a pesudo-personality, he retains a truth of the self he derived from. It never mattered to her whether or not Add had "meaning," but she's happy to get to know more about the man who's something like his father. ]

Thank you. That's all I wanted to know.
