*Gawain paused, mid-chew, to stare at Nightfall in confusion.*
"What exactly are we doing right now then?" *He asked around the chunk of orange in his mouth.*

*Nightfall chuckled with laughter.*
"This is indeed quality time. I have never been happier than I am right now."
*She replied and stroke his hair gently. He was so adorably cute when he was eating. Her eyes were glittering with love for him.*

*Gawain leaned back from her, his confusion not lessening.*
"So...what were you talking about then? What more do you want?"

*Nightfall looked up at him, chuckling with laughter.*
"Awwww, Gawain. I keep forgetting that men and women don't think the same ways. I was thinking more futuristic. I only meant that I want more moments like this in the future. I really enjoy being with you."

"That's great." *Gawain answered, still a bit disconcerted.*
"You just confuse me. I don't know if I'll ever understand what you mean fully."

*Nightfall smiled warmly to him.*
"And yet you understand me better than anyone else. You are the only person who has cared enough about me to find out what's going on in my mind. I think no man can fully understand a woman, but if you want to know anything about me, you just need to ask me, and I will reply to you as truthfully as I can."

*Gawain swallowed his bite of orange.*
"You just seem to change your mind a lot. It's confusing."

*Now it was Nightfall's turn to be confused.*
"Change my mind a lot? In what way do you mean?"

*Gawain shrugged, seemingly unbothered.*
"I don't know. Just...like you can't be happy in the present. Everything has to be about what will be, not what is. I thought you'd be happier, now that you got what I thought you wanted. But I suppose I don't really know what that is."
*He took another bite of orange.*

*Nightfall smiled and looked up at him.*
"Awww, Gawain. You are so sweet. I am happy. Happier than I've ever been. You have given me more than I had the right to hope for, you being a Guardian and all. I am grateful for that, and I will cherish this time with you for as long as I live."
*She snuggled closer to him, offering him a peach.*
"I think you know what I want, more than anything else. The only thing I wish for and dream about...."
*She blushed and looked down, not certain how he would react.* "....is you."

*Gawain didn't move to take the fruit, only leaned back as she approached.*
"Yeah, but what does that mean?" *He asked unceremoniously.*
"You had me before, but that obviously wasn't enough."

*Nightfall blushed and looked down. She didn't dare to look at him.*
"I mean.... no, please forget it. I had forgotten that you are not allowed to take a wife. I am content with the relationship we have now. It would be foolish of me to want more."

*Gawain was silent for a moment, then caught her by the chin, forcing her face up to meet his. His eyes studied her for some time.*
"But that doesn't stop you from wanting it, does it?"

*Nightfall blushed and looked into his eyes. It was hard for her to focus with his face so close to hers, his mouth... She already longed to kiss him again.... Her heart beat faster. She was silent for a moment. She decided she didn't want to lie for him. Ever. She replied silently.*
"No. But I would never force you. If that should happen one day, it would have to be because you wanted to, and not just because you want to please me."

*Gawain was silenced once more in thought.*
"You would only respect my wishes because it is something that cannot be taken by force." *The words were simple, no hint of malice, only fact. His fingers still held her chin, a bit tightly.*
