*Malefica smiled and kissed his cheek motherly.*
"That's where you bring in your old mother and Merlin. If Nightfall should be in danger and need you, we will babysit the Grail for you while you get to her to help. And you can get there by using magic passages. They are everywhere."

*Gawain considered this.*
"If...I am to aid her anyways, is it not better that I go now? To see that she is not put in harm's way?"

*Malefica smiled and looked lovingly back at him.*
"Go, my son. And with my blessing. Merlin, Abraxas and I will take care of everything here while you are gone."

*Gawain's expression was grave.*
"How will I find her, if she is in the land of shadows?"

*Malefica smiled and looked at him.*
"Bring the mirror with you. Hold on to it, and wish yourself to be where she is. It is easy white magic."

*Gawain studied the mirror, turning it over in his hand. Something still troubled him.*
"Why did you tell me that I couldn't go where she is now?"

*Malefica looked up at him.*
"I was afraid you would leave your post without thinking of replacements in your absence. Forgive me. That was wrong of me to think like that."

*Gawain frowned.*
"Do you think that it has even been my intent to trivially toss aside my responsibilities to the Grail? Have I don't something to make you think that it is no longer important to me?"

*Malefica smiled and stroke his hair gently.*
"No, never. And for that I love you. I was only worried for a second, and I have already apologized for that."
*She kissed him lovingly.*
"Don't let that frown be the last expression your mother sees on your face before you leave."

*Gawain did not smile then, but his frown smoothed as he turned to gather sword and shield, preparing for battle. He looked deeply focused as he turned back to her, fitting the blade at his side. His eyes softened and he bent to kiss her cheek chastely.*
"I will return as soon as I can."

*Malefica smiled warmly back and caressed his hair.*
"May all good spirits be with you. I will take care of everything while you are gone."

*Gawain nodded, looking into the glass. It was foggy but he focused hard as he started to walk towards the window. There was a flash and he was gone.*

*Malefica looked after him. She felt it strange to see him go, but he was a grown man now, not a child anymore. And he would have to choose his own way. She smiled and returned to see to her guests in the dining room.*
