*Gawain's eyes widened and he lean away from her outburst slightly.*
"Yes. Of course. I will always be your son. There is nothing that can change my heritage."
*He was quiet for a long moment.*
"Though I don't see how this will solve the problem of the Guardian."

*Malefica smiled and huggled him lovingly.*
"Don't worry about the Guardian problem, Gawain. I have thought about multiple solutions. But I want to share them with you first. To hear your opinion.
First we have the solution that you and Nightfall get married and have a child, to ensure the next Guardian.
If that can not be done, there is the possibility that we in one or another way can inseminate Nightfall, so she'll carry a child. If you adopt the child as yours and teach it how to fight, it can be a Guardian.
The third solution is that Merlin finds a woman to love, and then have a child with her.
As for me: I am no longer a solution, but a problem. With time, I have come to realize how much I love your father, and I am deeply mourning the loss of him."

((She's very physical with her naked son.))
*Gawain listened quietly, thinking on what she said. At last, he spoke once more.*
"I don't understand what Father has to do with this."

((XD Sorry. She's so heartbroken over Icarus that she doesn't notice Gawain is naked.))
*Malefica walked over to the bathroom shelf and found a towel, offering it to her son.*
"Well, honey. There are only three Guardians left on earth. Merlin, you and me. The next Guardian will have to come from one of us. As you know, the normal way of creating a child, is by having sex.
Merlin has the opportunity to choose a woman, but he doesn't seem to care about love. You have Nightfall. Me... I have lost your father. I doubt he wants me back, after all the things that has happened. So for my part, giving life to another guardian is unthinkable."

((But he's in the tub. Why wouldn't he be?))
*Gawain waited patiently as she spoke, setting the towel on the floor next to him.*
"And you are married to another. I doubt that fact would encourage purity in a new Guardian."
*His lips tightened for a moment, before he tried to explain.*
"Mother, I cannot sire. Not by Nightfall or anyone else. My only solution is that you should set Merlin to breeding. I am certain you should have no problems in convincing him. If you can guilt one sworn to evil to breed for such a cause, a fellow Guardian should be easy."

((It sounds natural to be naked in the tub. XD Btw. Malefica is not looking at his body.))
*Malefica smiled and looked at Gawain, seeking his eyes.*
"I doubt that as well, my son. Which is why I don't do anything about it. I am sorry you are unable to sire. I would have loved to have a grandchild. I also doubt that Nightfall would allow anyone but you to touch her. She loves you deeper than she is telling you. I can feel a heat around her, in her aura when she is near you. It is as if her entire existence is circling around you and your wellbeing. She is the kind of girl who would die from grieving if you should leave her.
As for Merlin: He would indeed be capable of breeding... but there is one problem. He is not interested in sex. Not at all. He never looks at women. He seldom goes out. I have never once seen him being in love. So, what do you suggest we do with him?"

"I do not know what to suggest about Merlin. I did my best to avoid sex, but it found me anyways." *Gawain answered simply.* "If it is important, I am certain you will be able to explain it to him. Just tell him he doesn't have a choice."

"I am certain Merlin would rebuke me if I tried to say something like that to him. He is after all my adoptive father."
*Malefica chuckled with laughter.*
"Well, Nightfall seemed very determined that she loved you and no others. So I doubt we can talk her into breeding. Would you have allowed anyone else to touch her?"

*Gawain looked confused.*
"Mother...what does that matter? Nightfall is not of Guardian lineage. She had no ties but me. I cannot offer her a child, so what difference does it make?"

*Malefica looked pensive.*
"If you adopted a child, it could be a guardian also. But I seriously doubt Nightfall would accept any other lover than you. So I guess that if there is going to be a new guardian, there will have to be an adopted one, but taken care of and trained by us."

"You really don't understand, do you?"
*Gawain put his hands on the edge of the tub, speaking slowly and clearly.*
"Mother, I am not a Guardian anymore. You and Merlin will manage, I'm certain. But I am not meant to be involved."

*Malefica looked over at Gawain and smiled warmly.*
"You are not meant to be a Guardian, no. But you are still my son. And my superiors can't deny me to let my children live with me, if they wish to live here."
*She ruffled his hair.*
"I will not press you, my child. I am only so happy to have you home. I have missed you."

*Gawain looked befuddled by the comment.*
"The reason I make the statement is that you suggested that I adopt the child. If I am not a Guardian, I cannot adopt a child to be Guardian."
*He paused, happening upon a thought.*
"Why did you not adopt?"

*Malefica smiled and looked at him.*
"Gawain, I only suggested that because you are young and will live long enough to take care of a child. As for me, I hope the last fight with Lilith is coming soon. I have waited for it."
*She looked away, speaking quietly.*
"I am dying, Gawain. Slowly. I do not have much time left."

*Gawain didn't understand.*
"You're dying? But I thought you would survive, just weakened. I cannot...I don't know what you want me to do."
