   Summary

   The idea that next year this time, he would need to celebrate without Galahad gave way to the certainty he would celebrate without Galahad, which brought them to the pressing issue of how Galahad was going to get himself mindlessly killed like a young saint.

   Didn’t he know his saints had turned into cadaver first, mulch next, way before they could attain the holiness he revered? Wasn’t he enough of a knight to know that there was nothing pure about a corpse?

   ______

   mordred makes a promise to galahad on christmas day, and a year hence, he tries his damnedest to keep it.
