[ Outside the cottage that Gareth shares with Kadoc, the young knight is working up a sweat, dressed down to a tank top with a towel draped over her shoulders. It's hard to ignore just how much lean muscle the seemingly petite woman has in a situation like this.

She pulls a swig from her water bottle, sighing. ]

It's hard to believe I'm spending another summer in this Avalon. It really leads one to think, you know?

About time... about what it even means in a place like this. About what's going to become of all of us when this is over...

It sort of makes one think they should use their time here more urgently, right?

[ One big swig. A long pause, and... ]


... I really need to get out more.

[ Gareth's smile softened. ]

Cliche as a line like this can be, I think the real magic is what you've built in your heart. The confidence and faith in yourself that you lacked before...

[wolfhunted]

...yeah. Back home, I already thought I was brave, but...maybe not as much as I thought. I think I'm better at bein' brave now.

[Maybe not quite enough yet to really tackle her problems back home, but she's getting there.]

[beaumains]

I feel you better understand what it means to be brave, for certain.

[wolfhunted]

I think I do.

What about you? What will you do when you go back?

[beaumains]

I go from one quest right back to another. My Master and I still have work to do, back home, to prevent another world-ending catastrophe.
