#are those near the joints ie weak points of the armour

loving each other won’t save us, but it won’t hurt either…

my two favourite underrated knights, sir urry and sir lavain. i was struck by how close they seem in the closing part of the morte, particularly how they stick by each other and lancelot as everything starts to unravel. thus, an imagined moment during the siege of joyous guard.
