"With ease, your highness. No one shall touch him whilst I am here, save you-"
*He looked questioningly at her.*
"And his father?"

*Malefica looked at him and smiled.*
"It seems like his father can't even touch him. Every time he tries, Gawain starts crying. We don't know why he reacts like this."
*Oh, she knew, all right. It was because Gawain would be the next Guardian of the Holy Grail. He represented purity. And his father Icarus was an evil sorcerer. But how could she explain a thing like this?*

"Right. So no touching for Father."
*He didn't know why, but this made him oddly pleased.*

*Malefica nodded.*
"His father knows this well, and stays away from him. And Queen Lilith of Hell...."
*Malefica shuddered*
"....must NEVER come near him at all. Her powers may kill him."

"Of course."
*He smiled a little at the child. He was rather sweet. As babies went.*

*Malefica smiled and held the baby on her arm.*
"I want you to stay near him all the time. I can't afford to take any chances with anything happening to him. He is a very special child, and has a great mission to fulfill."

*Gawain had entertained himself throughout the conversation staring at his tiny hand as he did his best to open and close it repeatedly.*

*Malefica looked lovingly at her son and lifted him up and kissed him.*
"We'll find something for you to play with, honey. Do you want your teddy bear?"
*She held a soft, brown teddy in front of him. It was big enough for him to hug, not small enough for him to eat. Malefica carefully chose safe toys for her children.*

*Gawain took some time to focus his new eyes on the bear, his mind processing it. He reached out and tried to take it clumsily.*

*Malefica smiled and helped him hold the teddy.*
"Here you go, Gawain. Here's your teddy."
*Her voice was soft as she spoke to him.*

*He supposed all women spoke to their children like that. In truth he would not know, especially given the history of his mother. That she was some kind of whore was all he had gather.*
"I assume I am to begin my duties immediately?"
*He asked.*

*She looked at him and smiled.*
"I would appreciate it if you could start as soon as possible. Are you sure you don't want to send for your things first, and settle down in your room?"

*Niall shrugged.*
"They could be sent for, I have little. In my line of work it is best to travel light."

*Malefica smiled warmly.*
"Excellent. I'll go and send my servants for your things. Will you keep an eye on him in the meanwhile? Don't let anyone come near him."
*She kissed Gawain and placed him carefully in Niall's arms, and left the room.*

*Niall held the baby, a little uneasy. Still, he had looked after children in the orphanage and found the nack came back to him.*
"How about we put you in your crib now, eh?"
