*Gawain studied the animal with concerned focus but finally lifted his hand, awkwardly taking a clump of fur and tugging. The kitten let out a pathetic mew.*

((OMG - I feel so bad, but this reply made me laugh. I'm still laughing while I write this XD ))
*Merlin carefully saved the kitten from getting furtherly tugged. He spoke to Gawain in a mild voice, knowing he was only a baby.*
"Now that is one thing we must never do to animals, Gawain. As a Guardian of the Holy Grail, you have to learn to love, or at least respect ALL living creatures. Do you think you can do that?"

*Gawain stared up at the man, jaw dropped. Then he reached up and tugged on a handful of beard.*

((And now I'm laughing even more XD I love that kid.))
*Merlin laughed and patted Gawain's head gently.*
"I get the message, kid. You don't take orders from anyone, hmmm? Kind of reminds me of your mother. She would be very proud of you. I am sure you will be a great Guardian one day. Tough and strong."

*He smiled and bounced, clapping his tiny hands before reaching for the beard again.*

*Merlin laughed and hugged the boy gently. He didn't mind the tugging in his beard. With Gawains tiny and soft baby hands, it could hardly be noticed at all.*
"I think you'll be okay, kid. No matter what happens in the world, I think you'll land on your feet and get out of it. You seem like a smart kid, and with the things I'll teach you when you grow older, there will be very few who can stop you."

*A few stray hairs has dislodged and wrapped around Gawain's hand. He shook it vigorously, looking most concerned.*

*Merlin looked down at Gawain's tiny hand and discovered the stray hairs. He spoke mildly to Gawain.*
"Aaaaaaw, did the hairs fight back? Here - let me help you with that."
*Merlin took Gawain's tiny hand in his big, and gently removed the stray hairs. Then he smiled again.*
"Is that better?"

*Gawain watched the hairs as they were pulled away, big-eyed and fascinated. Then he bounced happily.*

((Awww, he is so squishable. *melts* ))
*Merlin laughed and hugged the baby gently.*
"There you are. This was much better, wasn't it? Now I'll show you something else, that I think you will like."
*He carried Gawain through the garden, to a small pond of bright and sparkling water. The water was so clear that you could see tiny fish swimming around. The pond was not deep.
Merlin sat down by the side of the pond, holding Gawain so he could study the fish swimming and jumping about.*
"Look here, Gawain. These tiny fishes are just as fond of water as you are."

*Gawain's brow lowered again as his eyes grew intent on the motion in the water. He tried to follow them but was having a hard time of it.*
"Gahhpttthhpbt." *He spat and bounced, trying to get closer to the water.*

((Awww. He is so cute. *melts* ))
*Merlin chuckled with laughter and held the little boy closer to the water, but in a solid grip, to make sure the child didn't fall into the water.*
"I thought those fishes might perk your interest. They are fast, aren't they? And look on their beautiful colors."

((Keep melting and you're going to get squish everywhere. Ew.))
*Gawain seemed perfectly happy bashing his hands against the water surface, sending out ripples over its surface and sending the fish scattering away.*

((You are playing him so cute that I can't help myself )) *Merlin laughed and looked down at the happy baby. But since nobody got harmed when the tiny hands splashed in the water, Merlin allowed Gawain to continue.* "You really love water, don't you? I'll remember that when you get bigger and it's time for you to start school."

"Bbbbrpth."
*Gawain struggled and squirmed, trying to wriggle out of the man's hands.*
