Ugh,
why do people have to ruin my feast time? I look forward to feast time,
partying, gifts, not seeing some dude get his head cut-off. I was slightly
impressed when that dude rode off without his head on his shoulders.
Why is
this dude and his horse green? I could overlook his cockiness and rude behavior
but the line has to be drawn somewhere. I bet this guy does not wear camouflage
when hunting. I do not mean to be crass, but he looks like gorgeous grass.
Okay, now I am done making fun of the color of this dude. I am just not going
to even get started on his green horse.
We
either need to send the green knight to rehab, the hospital, or a therapist.
Nobody in their right mind would beg someone to cut off their head and then ask
them to come find them in one year. I could understand this request if he was
an addict, but none of his other behaviors point into that direction. I think
the hospital is the best bet. They will perform a psychological evaluation
there. I am not judging (too harshly), just trying to help the green dude out.
Health and sanity are very important to live a happy life.
I am so
proud of Gawain for accepting this quest, but it is not the first time you have
done something brave. I know this is out of my character, but you did go after
Queen Guinevere and me in the tale of "The Knight in the Cart." I am
sure you will be fine along your journey, just keep your confidence up. This
journey will be cold, long, and difficult. There is no simple path for you to
follow as you have found thus far into your quest. My main concern is that you
may be too kind to be able to complete this quest on your own. Remember what we
learned in "The Knight in the Cart," sometimes nice people can
actually be taking advantage of your naivety. This lord's behavior seems legit
but he also seems a little too friendly. You should not wait until the last day
to go to the place he says the green knight is. I know that in this day and age
we trust just about everyone we meet and that has been the downfall in multiple
stories we have read. Wow, being nice is exhausting. I do not know how you do
it all the time, Gawain the good. I hope you don't die! I am sure you will figure something out...
The
bestest knight ever,

Kay
