*Nightfall gave him a look as if she started to worry about his sanity.*
"Hide my true face from you? Gawain, I am proud of my face. I know I am beautiful, I have seen the way you look at me. Why in God's name would I want to hide my face? I don't understand. Are you feeling well?"

"I'm feeling just fine." *Gawain answered simply.*
"I know that you have the ability to mislead me into thinking you were someone else. If you wanted me to take you under the guise of a storyline, I am not beyond such things. You only had to come to me."

*Nightfall looked up at him, now her eyes were clearly wounded.*
"You were with someone else?"
*Her eyes filled with tears.*

This, thought Valmont, was better than an opera. He was forced to order dessert just to stay and listen.

*Gawain sighed heavily.*
"Nightfall...you know that I wasn't. I went out to meet new people, but..." *His eyes fluttered shut.*
"What is it that you want from me? How can I make you happy? Everything I do only seems to upset you. I don't understand why I am so bad at this. You tell me to go, to meet others. But now you're wounded again?" *Desperation prickled in his voice.*

*Nightfall looked up at him, trying to calm down.*
"What I want from you? I want to see you smile when you meet me. I want to say hello to you without you accusing me of hiding my true face. I want to dine with you without being accused of deception! I don't understand why you would say anything like that. I know I am no saint, but have I not told you every time I have done something wrong?
Why would I all of a sudden start lying to you now? I stand by the things I do, right or wrong. I take responsibility for my deeds, no matter what the consequences are. If I had done anything I shouldn't have done, I would have told you about it. Have I ever lied to you before?"

*Gawain considered it carefully.*
"Before...but not after the fact."
*He calmed.*
"But...she was so like you. I don't understand. You said other women were...well, different. That you were alone. An outsider."

*Nightfall looked over at him, mildly. She understood that there had been a misunderstanding somewhere, and now she wanted to help him clear it up. As soon as he calmed, she calmed too.*
"You met someone that was like me? Wow, that's amazing! I really thought I was the only elfdemon in the world. I have never met anyone who is like me. That's why I don't have so many friends other than you and my twin brother Beraht."

*Gawain shook his head quickly.*
"No, I don't mean like that. I mean you were similar...underneath. It's hard to explain. Like...I could see you...telling me all the things that she told me."
*His gaze drifted.*
"She wanted me to have sex with her, even though she said it was forbidden. But she made a point of telling me that she would not force me to..."
*He shrugged.*
"It just sounded like you."

*Nightfall furrowed her eyebrows. She didn't like that other women threw themselves over her Gawain, even if she knew he was not allowed to marry anyone. She looked over at Gawain. He was so handsome with his blond hair and muscular body. She smiled and squeezed his hand gently.*
"Well, honey. Looking at you it is easy to understand why anyone would want to have sex with you. You are hot. Since I don't know what she told you, I can't make any comments on it, except that I don't like the thought of other girls having sex with you. I know I have no right to be jealous, so I won't make a scene out of this. I just mention it because I want to be honest with you about my feelings for you."
*She smiled and looked warmly up at him.*
"I am flattered that you were thinking of me when you spoke to her. I can tell you that most women have feelings when it comes to sex. Some of them are more open to it than others. You, with your good looks, will probably meet all kinds of women. And men too. There are some men that are interesting in having sex with other men. But not all men are like that. I just mention it. I read a lot of interesting stuff in my science books.
I will promise you however, if I want to try out something when it comes to sex, I will tell you about it. And I hope you will do the same for me."

*Gawain looked thoroughly confused. And slightly wounded.*
"I no longer wish to discuss potential for our fornication. It is setting me off my meal. It can be dealt with after."
*His lips tightened slightly.*

*Nightfall smiled and spoke softly to him.*
"Eat, my dear. I don't want your dinner to be cold. And you will need your strength."
*She started nibbling on her own meal.*

Valmont was seized with a plan.
It was an amusing one, and like most of his, had few consequences for him if it failed. After paying for his meal he rose and made his way to the next table, looking solicitously down at the couple with all the height his superiority afforded him.
"Good evening," he said smoothly. "I wonder if I might have a word."

*Gawain was distracted by the unexpected addition and he quirked a brow as he looked up to him.*
"With us, sir?" *Confusion etched back into his face.*

*Nightfall didn't say anything. She just put down her fork quietly and studied Valmont. Her golden, glittering eyes did not give away her thoughts. She had never seen this man before, and had no idea what he wanted.*
