*Gawain lifted his face to her, his eyes inquisitive.*
"You have been in love before?" *He asked, interested.*

*Nightfall blushed when she met his gaze. Her body trembled slightly, and she felt that she had no choice but to reply.*
"No, this is the first time...."
*She blurted out before she could stop herself.*
Oh dear lord, please don't let him run away screaming.

*Gawain smiled, watching her sweet face as she spoke.*
"And it is good? This feeling that you have?"
*His eyes sparkled in wonder.*

*Nightfall blushed again. She looked into his sparkling eyes, trying to reply as well as she could.*
"Good, and painful, at the same time. Because I don't know if you... he... return my feelings."
*She blushed and looked down.*
Good lord, will I ever learn to watch my tongue? What will he think of me?

*Gawain looked slightly confused.*
"Why should I think less of you for your love? Love is a wondrous thing and he...or she...that finds it is truly blessed."

*Nightfall smiled and looked up at him again.*
"So you don't mind that I love you? If I accept the terms that were set to keep your purity?"

*Gawain blinked.*
"Me?" *He looked genuinely surprised. He smiled slowly.*
"I...I don't know what to say. I thought...but it doesn't matter. Of course I do not mind that you love me. I am deeply honored by it."

*Nightfall smiled brightly and looked up at him again.*
"You didn't notice? That my heart skipped a beat when you entered the kitchen as a grown man? You didn't notice I blushed and trembled like a leaf, stuttering like an idiot and say all kinds of stupid things?"
*She placed her tiny hand on his shoulder and looked up at him.*
"From the first moment I saw you in the doorway I knew that if I ever could love anyone... it would be you."

*The tips of Gawain's ears turned pink.*
"I...I did not know. How could I? It's...my first true day of understanding."
*He swallowed, his eyes averted.*
"But I thank you. I am blessed to know the gift of your love."

*Nightfall smiled warmly and looked up at him again.*
"Thank you, Gawain, for letting me love you. It has eased my mind and given me peace."
*She looked up at him with gentle humor in her eyes.*
"I know it is too soon for you yet to know your feelings for me. I respect that. If you one day should find you love me back, I will be the happiest woman in the world. And even if you should find out that you don't love me, I will cherish the memory of this moment forever."

*Gawain was still flattered. And a bit confused.*
"I don't believe that I have the ability to stop you from loving, but...thank you again."
*He studied her face, the way she moved.*
"I don't think I can imagine not loving you."

"S-so you th-think you c-could love me back one day?"
*Her soft voice was trembling with hope.*

*Gawain lifted his brow in honesty.*
"Why not? Is there something so unlovable about you?"

*Nightfall smiled and looked up at him. She lifted her hand and allowed a tiny finger to follow his cheekbone gently all the way down to his chin.*
"That... I leave for you to decide."
*She replied softly.*

*Gawain leaned back stiffly, avoiding her touch as politely as he could manage. His smile was friendly.*
"I don't see any reason that you should be so. You seem kind and tender."
