*Malefica laughed again, and placed him back in the sand.*
"Well, if you insist. But I trust you let me know if you get hungry, right sweetie?"
*She filled a bucket with water and sand, showing him how easy it was to form the sand when it was wet.*

*Malefica laughed and finished the new sandcastle she was making for him with wet sand. She decorated also this castle with shells and colorful stones.*
"You are right, Gawain. Even if the wet sand is better to form sandcastles, the dry sand is better to touch. The reason why the sand feels warm right now, is because the sun has been shining on it for a while. Certain animals know this fact, and comes to the beach to bury their eggs in the sand."
*Malefica hadn't finished speaking before a tortoise came crawling slowly through the sand.*

*Gawain watched the tortoise with wide eyes. He began to move his limbs slowly. Tipping slightly, he fell forward, but caught himself and clumsily started to crawl forward after it.*

*Malefica brightened up with a smile when she saw her son crawl for the first time. She wished she had someone to share this joyous moment with, and for a moment she thougt about Icarus. Even if he didn't want to speak with her anymore, at least he would want such news about his own child, wouldn't he? She tried to send Icarus a thought.*
Icarus, Gawain is crawling - for the first time! And he is very good at it. Right now he is at the beach near my fortress, following a tortoise. I wish you had been here to see him, but I know you are with Eden. Send her my love, will you?
*Then she ran after the tortoise and Gawain again, cathing up with them. She wanted to see how this turned out.*

*After a foot or two, Gawain collapsed against the sand. His eyes still set on the tortoise, he let out a whimper.*

*Malefica smiled and helped Gawain up, gently brushing sand away from him. Then she caught the tortoise, turned it around, and made it walk toward Gawain.*
"Here, sweetheart. Is this better?"
*Her voice was soft as she spoke to him.*

*The tortoise crawled slowly closer to Gawain.*

*Malefica lifted her son up in her arms and held him close to her heart. Then she offered her chest to him, wondering if he would be hungry after all the playing.*

*Malefica smiled warmly and laced her dress. She held Gawain close to her heart, enjoying the feel of his skin against hers. She stroke his hair gently and song a lullaby for him.*
