After backing out right when Kiba caught up with Helen, he really didn't think Gawain was much of a threat.
"Go ahead. We'll stay here."

"This place must've put you through a lot," Tsume remarked. "Letting someone go off on their own without you?"
"If something comes up, I'll hear it," Kiba answered.

*Gawain nodded and turned to Helen with a soft smile.*
"Please, let me escort you to the room." *He offered his arm.*

*Helen blushed and smiled warmly, touched by his gentlemanly manners. She placed her small hand on his arm, and allowed him to lead the way.*

"After you."

*Helen entered the room with a smile. She was impressed by the luxury in the room.*
"Thank you. Wow, this room is magnificent!"
*She exclaimed in her broken English.*

((I understand that her English is supposed to be broken, it just doesn't seem to be. She does have an excellent vocabulary.))
*Gawain smiled, locking the door behind him.*
"I am glad that it pleases you. You are worthy of pleasure."

((Thank you. My English has improved since I started rp'ing with all the excellent players here at the 'verse. So I owe it to you guys.)) *Helen blushed by his words, a bit shy.* "Thank you, Gawain. It is very nice of you to say so." *She straighened her chemise, the Greek style dress she was wearing. She didn't know what to say, all of a sudden, so she just asked the first question she could think of.* "Do you live here in Paris?"

*Gawain's brow furrowed.*
"My lady...I told you on the street..." *He stepped closer to her, his gaze inviting.* "This is my first trip to Paris."

*Helen blushed and laughed when he stepped closer to her. She had no idea what his intentions were.*
"Ah, forgive me. You mentioned that. So... where do you come from? Are you a foreigner too?"
*She looked innocently up at him with her bright blue eyes.*

*Gawain stood terribly close, much closer than was polite as he smiled down to her.*
"From far away. I live in a remote fortress."

*Helen blushed a little when she noticed how close he stood, but he seemed like a gentleman, so she didn't suspect anything would happen to him. She smiled back and looked up at him again, without any ideas what was going on in his mind.*
"Then we have something in common. I too come from far away and live in a remote fortress."
*Then she remembered the fall of Troy, and lowered her eyes sadly.*
"At least I used to... but the life I knew doesn't exist anymore..."

*Gawain moved passed her unexpectedly, sitting on the edge of the bed.*
"Do you wish to speak of it?"

*Helen smiled sadly.*
"There isn't much to tell. I was a queen of Sparta, but ran away with Prince Paris of Troy to become his princess. My husband Menelaus became furious and started a war, and this was the downfall of Troy. Now my fortress is only a memory, and Paris..."
*Her eyes filled with tears.*
"Paris was murdered by my husband before we even got the time to fulfill our love. And Menelaus never touched me, because I was too young. I was 8 when I was married to him. Luckily Paris ran away with me before the marriage was consummated. I was about 14 when Paris abducted me."
*She blinked away some tears that filled her eyes. The memories still pained her.*

*Gawain blinked slowly.*
"So...you are still a virgin."
