*Gawain managed a smile.*
"Thank you for the vote of confidence. Was there anything else you wished to speak on?"

*Malefica smiled and placed her hand over his.*
"Nothing, really. I only wanted to apologize for the way I behaved earlier today. When I upset you. It was not my intension to do so."

*Gawain shrugged slightly.*
"It is all right. I understand that you are...passionate. Like many women."

*Malefica smiled and looked over at her son.*
"You're right, I'm afraid. I am too easily controlled by my feelings and my moods. Many women are just like that. I try to not be like that, but I am afraid it is in my nature."
*She hesitated, then asked silently.*
"Still, I can't help being curious about Nightfall... Have you thought over it, or should I just shut up and let you think in peace?"

*Gawain shrugged as he stood.*
"I have considered things, but I only think it fair that the lady should hear my decision first."

*Malefica chuckled with laughter.*
"You're right, Gawain. It's fair to her to let her be the first to know. I'm sorry, as a mother I only want the best for my children. And I want my children to be happy."

*Gawain nodded.*
"I understand. And I am happy. As happy as I am allowed to be. You should not worry so much, Mother."

*Malefica smiled and looked lovingly at him.*
"I am happy for you, my son. I can't help from worrying, being a woman and all. But now that I know that The Holy Grail is safe during the fight with Lilith, I have found peace. You know, the girl looks like a 5-year old, and I think she will always stay like that."

*Gawain processed the information.*
"Then I too will remain ageless, to protect her for the future of all mankind."

Malefica nodded.*
"As will Merlin and I. Though now that I have an adult son, I will have problems making people I am just 18 years old anymore..."
*She joked, with a glimpse of humor in her eyes. She was so proud of her stylish son.*

*Gawain's eyebrow arched, confused by her words.*
"You are only eighteen?"

*Malefica laughed gently.*
"Oh no, my dear son. I have been on the earth for a couple thousand years now. I am a part goddess, part devil, you know. It's the goddess part of me that keeps me as you see me now. Should I ever be forced to use my devil powers to protect the Grail, I would look quite different."

*Gawain nodded slowly.*
"I will take your word for it."
*He looked focused, but calm.*

*Malefica smiled.*
"When I grew up as the princess of Hell, I was green-skinned, had yellow eyes and long, dark hair. I was the ugliest creature on the Planet. But I had a good heart. Only nobody noticed that. They only saw my ugly face and ran away screaming."

*Gawain's lips tightened.*
"I already know better than to judge by appearances. I am a prime example, after all."
