*Nessa smiled and looked up at him.*
"I will try to get the queen to speak to you, then. But how should I introduce you? It would not be wise to introduce you as the son of Leetah. Or the rightful heir of the throne. I imagine that would cause a lot of trouble."

*Figwit frowned.*
"That is wise. Is there someone's kinship I might claim without arousing suspicion?"

*Nessa studied him for a while, measuring his height and body. Then she looked at the colors of his hair and eyes. Her face brightened.*
"You know what, Figwit? Your resemblance to my father's cousin Bearclaw is striking! My father was the famous Elf Warrior Cutter. Bearclaw has never been to the court before, so nobody here knows him. I know he wouldn't mind if you borrowed his identity for this cause. And I have known him all my life, so I can tell you anything you need to know about him."

*Figwit smiled at her enthusiasm.*
"That sounds good," *he said.* "I plan to watch and observe, for the most part. But tell me; is my name known? If it is not, I may as well use it. The best ruse is that with a hint of truth behind it."

*Nessa smiled.*
"Your name is not known here. We have kept you a secret. But you should not tell them you are Leetah's son. Say you are my cousin instead. My father had dark hair, so it could be true."

*Figwit nodded.*
"Then it's settled," *he said.*

*Nessa smiled.*
"Excellent. Please come with me to the castle, and I'll introduce you to the humans."
*She started walking towards the castle.*

***NEW DAY***
*Gawain gurgled happily as he rode with his mother. He blinked at the sunbeams that cut through the heavy foliage and reached to the occasional pant or butterfly.*

*Malefica smiled too. Even though she was worried about Eden, a ride on her horse always made her feel happy. She lifted her hand and gently straighened Gawain's sunhat, making sure he didn't get the sun in his eyes.*
"You really like horseriding, don't you, Gawain?" *She asked smiling.*

*Gawain blubbed his lips, blowing small bubbles of spittle as he squirmed in the carrier.*

*Malefica slowed down the horse and put her arms around Gawain, hugging him.*
"Do you need to change diapers?" *She asked with motherly affection.*

*Gawain's head rolled slightly, apparently oblivious of her question, instead his gaze was rather intent on something up above them in the forest canopy. He smiled and reached up.*

*Malefica looked at her son, then she followed his gaze, trying to see what he saw in the forest canopy. Knowing that elves lived in tree houses, she called out.*
"Hello, is anyone there?"

*A butterfly fluttered down and rested on Gawain's outstretched hand. He lowered them, happily trying to grasp at it as it flitted just out of reach. His attention was fixed on its bouncing colors.*

*Malefica looked at the butterfly and smiled.*
"Look at the butterfly, Gawain! Isn't it beautiful? Look at all those colors! Red, blue, green, white and yellow."
*She pointed at each color as she named them.*
