Poison in the inner circle

Once they had finished eating, Sir Lancelot led Artie back to her own rooms, and then past them. The more they walked, the more it became clear that they were in a residential area. The doors were further apart, and there were more of them. The halls were slightly smaller, more of an average size and there was a larger knight presence here as well. Some doors had guards, while there were just knights patrolling these hallways. 

As they approached a bend, Artie noticed that Sir Lancelot had tensed, and as they came around the corner there was a larger knight presence. Several stood outside of a particular door, similar to how they did for Artie's rooms. It was a safe assumption to believe that this was Lady Guinevere's room. 

The two of them stopped, and the guards outside of the door stared at them, before one of them turned and knocked. Artie thought that was slightly confusing behaviour, since it felt slightly hostile, but held her tongue as they waited.
