Everyone is settled and has just gotten used to their new home- Avalon. Peace reigned and life proceeded in its normal course, well as normal as it could get. After a short scene in a kitchen Arthur found Ogam and Arawn talking about their defenses and accused them of "idling". This resulted in him telling them to go hunting.
Arawn could do nothing since it's already established that the Elder must lead every hunt since it is his duty to "feed" his people. While they were hunting, Arthur noted how quiet the place is, and after a few check-up, he found a trap. This lead him to believe that the hunting ground is alread claimed by other tribes thus pushing them to find their own.
Just as they were done hunting and are now enjoying their delicious 'hotpot', an intoxicated Morgan challenged Arthur for a duel to claim the title "Greatest Warrior". And of course, as an Elder, Arawn granted them permission. After a few funny moments, the laughter of the amused men were interrupted when they heard a "harp" playing. And as if an answer, a bard came in, introducing himself as Talieshin - A new character, who then offered to 'entertain' the group for a few fruits.
Once he's done playing, he asked them if they are the "Gael Tribe" arising suspicion among the men, leading them to accuse him as a spy from the Empire. But having no evidence, they let him go where he thanked them and told them "He'd definitely play for them again soon." Before he left, he told them that the ground where they were currently standing on is a part of a brigand band, to which no one commented to.
The next day, they had a short meeting and thus the city of Londinium was given its introduction. Having been described as "The Largest Commercial Place for the Empire", the group had a sudden interest to "pay it a visit".
While in the place, they found a few soldiers preparing resources for the Empire. Thus, they planned to sieze it and take it for themselves. They executed their plan once it's night time and ambushed the convoy.
Happy with their achievement, the Gael warrior went on their way, only to be interrupted by an assassin sent by Gaius. Once they captured the said "assassin", he was able to confess that he was sent by Gaius. Before more questions can be asked, he immediately took off.
The confession caused them to find out about the trap by discovering that instead of weapons and resources, the boxes that they siezed were filled with sand. The notion of being tricked angered Arthur. Blinded by rage, he decided to attack the Empire but was stopped by Arawn. They could do nothing but to return to their city and take a rest.
That night, Arthur vented his anger by swinging his sword and practicing his swordsmanship skill unaware that Arawn has been watching him. If it weren't for the fact that they're best friend, I would deem this a 'good romantic shonen-ai' -grins-.
Anyway, for some reason, Arawn slept on that spot where he watched Arthur (could he be admiring his friend for too long? XD). On the morning, he was awoken by Arthur informing him of their "daily hunting". Once they were on the shores, Morgan blew the crab flute in hopes of huge crabs to harvest. But instead, an unknown woman emerged from the sea- a woman they never saw before.
