[The video starts out zoomed in really close on a boy's eyeball, catching him mid-sentence.]
--thing working? [A brief pause.] ...Ah! Cool, I think I got it working.
[A brief pause, as the camera pans back to catch a full glimpse of his face.]
Anyway, I dunno how common it is to do this sort of thing when you're new, but I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Bennett, of Benny's Adventure Team! ...Err, I guess that last part doesn't really matter yet. But it leads into my question.
[Another pause, as he considers his words.]
You see, I know this place has things like school, and jobs, but... What I'm really all about is adventuring! You know, traveling the countryside, diving into the darkest depths of caverns and domains, all for the sake of finding treasure and uncovering the lost secrets of the world... That sort of thing? [He speaks with so much passion and love for his chosen "profession" in life.]
There's gotta be so much of this world out there just waiting to be discovered, right? So, umm... What I wanted to know was, there are other people here who feel the same way, right? I'm not the only one who's already itching to explore... Right?
[In other words, he's trying to find adventuring buddies.]

[ Gareth laughed, rubbing the back of her head. ]
That was the quest that earned my place at the Round Table.

[It sounded pretty significant to him with the way she mentioned it.]
I'm guessing it's not vying for a spot at the lunch table.

[ A beat. ]
My Camelot, not this one. I held the seventh seat, and there were twelve seats, to give you an idea of my rank.

[Consider him impressed, Gareth. You've got a fan here.]

I suppose it is. I'm really proud of what I've accomplished. This was my dream, after all, to follow my brothers into the knighthood.
no subject
[He trails off a bit, thinking about his family back home.]
Yeah, I get that. My dads were all great adventurers, so I always dreamed of following in their footsteps once I was older. And now I'm doing it.

My eldest brother, Agravain, was the first to enter the knighthood. In his case, he felt it was important should our father ever need him take up governance of Orkney. Gawain and Garehis followed soon after. Mordred took it up, as well, at our mother's insistence.
Despite that, at first our mother actually forbade me from joining them, if you can believe it. [ A small laugh, rubbing the back of her head. ]
