Each metal plate being entrapped by his body heat and the sun’s ever radiating heat had been lifted off of him with ease. With each plate retracted, there came a looser stance holding him captive. He slouched more, relaxing his posture. A cool clasp came from the cloth ~

Tristan affectionately carded his fingers through Sir Galahad's curls once more before moving his hand to unclasp his armor. He carefully removed each piece and placed them on the empty table, assuming Galahad would hold the wet cloth while he worked on removing his chainmail -

He desperately defined the heat situation with the blistering sun that dawned o the day entirely— not that he was sick. Although, now that it was clear, it made sense. He supposed he was getting sick and as annoying as that may have been, especially so close to the tourney ~

There was a pail of fresh water sitting next to Galahad in case he needed it, but the more Tristan watched him, the more he realized his armor likely wasn't helping him cool down. "You're burnin' up," he said softly, left hand caressing his curls while the right held the cloth -

A slanted head of confusion radiated off of the holy knight’s features. Ivy eyes tracing over Mordred to see if there had been any indication of what entirely he meant by that. He didn’t know what conversation he was trying to imply; from Galahad’s standpoint, he was trying to ~

Mordred hadn't used his telepathy in weeks, and managed to turn it off so it was just his own voice in his head... sort of. Camelot more populated than usual for certain festivities and he understood the risks of lowering that part of their guard, but he desperately needed a -

Galahad’s head drooped slightly, finding he missed the other knight’s touch a pinch. Weird sensation to have, wasn’t it? A longing he wasn’t quite sure of. Then as quickly as he disappeared, he was back, swinging his head back to hold. His eyes closed.
