[ since the elevators malfunctioned, arthur's returned to dressing in full armour constantly, and so he's clad now in chain and plate as he addresses the screen. he's sweaty, dirty-blond hair plastered to a forehead pinkened with exertion, though his breathing is even. ]
Evening, Tranquility. Back home, in Camelot, I spent a large amount of my time training the knights; and with their honour and devotion, as well as their skills, I honed them into the finest warriors in the realm.
[ there's something rose-tinted about that nostalgia. he's right at the point where he's starting to forget to miss camelot, sometimes, and he's clinging onto thoughts of it fiercely. ]
Though my men are not with us, and I'm lacking an armoury—
[ some amusement in his tone at that. ]
—I thought perhaps I'd extend the offer to any who wish to learn to defend themselves. You'll be assigned training tasks to improve your general fitness and understanding of strategy, and I'll teach you the sword. I'm skilled in plenty of weapons, but not many of them can be substituted with sticks.
[ and then he draws his blade from its scabbard, twirls it in his hand with idle showiness. ]
The amount of time I'll have available will obviously depend on the level of interest. I've already got a couple of pupils, but I welcome more, so long as you're willing to work hard and obey orders. You may think it absurd, but a blade never runs out of bullets.
[ obviously nobody's told him about blasters. ]

Sorry-- I'm Albert. You must be one of the Knights of the Round Table then, I assume...?

[ he still sounds a little sheepish about it, because given the man's response to camelot, he already knows what sort of response he's going to get. ]
And you're from my future, I take it.

Wait... "prince"? Not "king"?
... Well, I suppose you can't really rely on the accuracy of legends ...

Doesn't it create some kind of-- I don't know, paradox, with all these historical figures being here?

[ his grasp on alternate universes, as explained by gwen stacey, is still tremulous at best. ]
Find a woman named River Song, she's the High Priestess of Science or something.

[ all right, he doesn't know about all of those things, some of the words are totally foreign. ]
I know about flying through space, obviously. I know toasters aren't magic and nobody uses leeches, I'm quite aware, thank you, of how many advancements you've all made. I'm talking about the potent corruption of sorcery.
