Unconsciousness had taken over Galahad long ago...Or perhaps only minutes before. When he's lost to the darkness time means nothing. He knew, he knew, this day was coming -- the day where his luck would finally run out. Disappointment had settled deep within his chest as he floated along, knowing that his father would be terribly disappointed. King Arthur had been wrong.
Greatest knight in the world indeed... He mused at the back of his mind. He could feel the sun beating down on his body, and he fought to gain consciousness once more. Thick, wet lashes fluttered in an attempt to open his eyes. It was too hard, and he gave up easily. He was meant for greatness, and a knock to the head took him out of the game. How utterly pathetic...
His throat opened and he gave a mighty cough, gurgling a bit as he tries to breath and cough up water all at once. His lungs burned, ached and begged to be used again. He tried opening his eyes once more, but it wouldn't work. His tunic caught on a tree root and the water shoved his body this way and that. He didn't try to move his limbs, he merely laid there, letting the water nudge his body this way and that.

His eyes hurt drastically, yet when the woman came into view, Galahad had to blink a few times. He was being saved...By a woman. His brain, of course, took a moment to really let that settle in. You're being saved by a woman...How utterly fantastic. Try to keep from messing things up. In fact, play mute! Maybe she won't notice.
As she moved him, Galahad kept coughing, spitting up more and more water until it was all out of his aching lungs. He could feel his nerves starting to fray already, and he hasn't even spoken a word yet!
"Milady..." He practically croaked the word out, and cleared his throat after. "I did not need your help, I could have saved myself from the treacherous waters all on my own!" He frowned, immediately recognizing that his mouth apparently still had a mind of his own here in Heaven. "Y-you look like no angel I have ever heard of. What is your name?" He was fairly straight forward in his mannerisms, after all. He didn't bother asking where he was since he figured he was dead.

"I am, indeed, mi -- your Majesty." An easy smile came to his young features, and he tilted his head down slightly in a short show of respect. Condescending or no, Galahad was proud to be a knight.
He tilted his head to the side slightly at her questions, and finally gave his answers as honestly as he had been so far. "I have trained since I was a young boy, and I prefer swords. However, I am trained in hand-to-hand combat as well as crossbows." Of course, there were other things as well, but he's learned to not show all of his cards at once.
"And you? What sort of weapons do Amazon Queens fight with?" It was hard for him to speak those words, but he got them out there since he was curious.
