*Nightfall smiled in understanding when he leaned back. She retreated her hand gently.*
"Thank you. I try to be kind and tender. But sometimes it seems I fail, no matter how hard I try. I want to be good, I really do. Unfortunately my demon blood sometimes makes it hard for me. Even so, I try as hard as I can not to bring shame over my family."

"I...understand." *Gawain answered in sympathy.*
"There is no easy road to righteousness. We must be vigilant. Perhaps, we might grant each other strength to do what's right."

*Nightfall smiled warmly and looked up at him with sparkling eyes.*
"And you wondered why you are the only man I can ever love?"
*She asked softly, with a warmth in her voice that nobody had heard before.*
"Such sympathy and tenderness I could never expect to find in someone else. I love the idea of us helping each other to do what's right. I will do what I can to help you achieve your goal."

"Thank you." *Gawain answered softly, his eyes lowered.*
"I will do what I can to help you, but..."
*He sighed with a touch of sadness.*
"I must stay true to the Grail first and foremost."

*Nightfall smiled warmly and looked up at him.*
"I understand that. And I accept it. I will never try to take you away from your duties to the Grail. I too, in my own humble way serves the Grail, even if I am not a Guardian."
*She looked up at him again, speaking mildly and lovingly to him.*
"All I want, is to give you my love. I am not asking anything in return, even if I would be happy if you find it in your heart to love me one day."

*Gawain blinked, a bit confused, but he kept smiling and nodded.*
"Again, I thank you. When I am ready to love, I will not keep it private."
*He looked hopeful that such words would comfort her.*

*Nightfall smiled and looked warmly back at him.*
"I am glad to hear you say that, Gawain. Your words comfort me. I will never try to force myself on you, or make you do something that makes you feel uncomfortable. I look forward to the day you are ready to love, and I hope the lucky girl you will love then, is me."

*Gawain just nodded, swallowing carefully.*
"Is the matter settled then?"

*Nightfall smiled warmly up to him again, noticing his nodding and his careful swallowing.*
"Well, of course it is."
*She ruffled his hair gently, in a friendly manner.*
"So, do you have any plans for today?"

*Gawain lifted what was left of his apple.*
"To be honest, this is about as far as I had considered."

*Nightfall smiled and looked over at him.*
"Well, you have a lot of choices. You could speak with Merlin, or meet your mother, who I am certain would love to see this change. Or you and I could find something to do. What do you want?"

*Gawain's brow furrowed at the options.*
"I...I am unsure. I should probably check with Merlin before making any long term plans."

*Nightfall smiled and looked up at him.*
"That would probably be for the best. I don't know if he has any plans for you today. And if you want to speak to your mother, I saw her in the rosegarden earlier today. I'll stay here and do the dishes, so if you need me, you know where to find me."

*Gawain stood, taking this to mean that he should leave. He pocketed the peach for later.*
"Thank you for your hospitality, Nightfall."
*He bowed formally.*

*Nightfall gave him a deep curtsey.*
"And thank you for a lovely breakfast, Gawain. I hope to see you again later."
*Her golden eyes glittered against him, and she was blushing slightly.*
