*Gawain sighed and shook his head briefly.*
"Fine."
*He went back to eating, but stared at his cake this time instead of the girl.*

*Merlin smiled and took a bite of his cake, savoring the taste.*
"Ah, just like they made it in my childhood."
*Abraxas flew in through the window and landed on Dominique's shoulder.*
"Hi Dom, did you save any cherries for me?" *He asked merrily.*

She swallowed the last one she'd been chewing and looked up guiltily. "Nooo, sorry."

*Malefica looked over at the raven.*
"Abraxas, you know perfectly well that you're not supposed to eat cherries inside the house."
*She whispered to the others.*
"It upsets his stomach."

*Gawain pushed his plate to the side, offering most of a slice of cake to the bird.*
"Whenever it is allowed, you may have mine."

*Abraxas landed on Gawain's arm accepting the cake gently.*
"Much obliged, Sir Gawain. Thank you!"

*Gawain shook his head, speaking softly to the bird.*
"I am not a knight. I have not earned that title."

*Abraxas looked calmly back at Gawain.*
"You know that your mother is a princess, right? And royal family have titles. It is your birthright."

*Gawain pursed his lips, lowering his voice further to the bird.*
"If you feel the necessity of using the title, would you please just call me sir, then. I am uncomfortable with the other."

*Abraxas looked up at Gawain with glittering eyes.*
"Yessir! I'll call you Sir, Sir Gawain!"

*Gawain held up his hand to quiet the bird.*
"No, please. Just one or the other. The title or my given name."

*Abraxas looked at Malefica who studied his tailfeather as if she was thinking of pulling it out. Then he turned to Gawain again.*
"I - I think I call you Gawain, if that's okay with you."

"Thank you. I should like that very much." *Gawain answered, looking back to his plate.*

*Malefica looked around. It seemed like everyone enjoyed their dinner. She had finished, and the etiquette said that the person with highest rank was the person who was allowed to leave a party first. She didn't want to break up the party just because she needed to speak to Gawain.*
"Lady, bird and gentlemen! I am sorry to leave such an excellent ensemble, but I have some urgent business to take care of. With your permission, I will retreat, but I hope you will stay and enjoy your dinner on this glorious evening."
*She stood, ready to leave the room.*
"Gawain, would you be so kind as to company me?"

"Of course." *Gawain stood stiffly, bowing to the other guests.*
"Please excuse me."
*With that, he slipped out into the hall after his mother.*
