[She slowly nods her head. Breath catching in her throat as a small smile crinkles up on her lips. Soft and comforting.]
No, not gone. She'll always be there with yo. Even if that chapter has closed for you... [It was said softly. Before the next words came out even softer still.]
...Would you like to try and start a new one then, Gareth? More than just a date...
[ This... was the conversation she knew was coming, and had to admit some trepidation, but... it was a conversation they needed to have. ]
My lady... I know you are fond of me, and I of you, but...
... what helped me most was not romance, in my dark times over the last year, but your friendship. [ Same with Kadoc. ] For whatever much I would gain from courting you once more, I fear it would change... too much, of what I truly needed.
The way we are now... is beautiful. Perhaps it is cowardly to say but... I do not want to lose that.
[And along came the answer she was expecting. There was no other belief that it would have been any different.]
I still had to ask. [She had to, even when she already knew how Gareth felt about her. And was grinning through it all. If not blushing a bit.]
It's never a cowardly thing to want though. As long as you're happy with how things are, then so am I. Still... thank you, Gareth. I really am happy that I could help, however small....

... Is our friendship not already fairly intimate, my lady?
[ They did tend to snuggle a lot... Platonic snuggling? Sure. But it still was a very close companionship. ]

[She's right, head pats are included! Still....]
...You still have someone else in your heart...
[Was this all too much?]

[ One can almost hear the 'but' at the end of that statement, though... ]
The truth is... I may never see her again. I feel I should... come to accept that part of my life, including Lady Lyonesse... is gone.
