In this life, I find it most fortunate that I am able to regard the most bountiful assets of accomplished women in their youth. The joy it brings me is indescribable.

[kill him]

[ ... there’s just silence because HE’S TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT? Genuinely trying to process. Go ahead and interpret it as ultimate judgment even if it isn’t. ]

I think I understand your sentiment... Though it’s more for having the opportunity to meet important figures in history, heroes of old—yourself included.

[ Hm. ]

Is there a woman that has caught your interest?

Oh, there are many. Lady Passionlip lacks confidence in her appearance, but there is a sweetness in her words and actions that cannot be ignored. Lady Sanzang is a woman like the sun itself, breathing life into every room with her radiant smile alone. Then, there's the Lady Raikou. Her strength in both body and mind is simply fascinating, although I'm not too keen on being called her son.

[There's a trend here. Fortunately, he's too much of an airhead to think ill of Karna's silence.]

[ How nice that you leave out your own king that is well endowed, Gawain. Karna doesn't exactly think about their breasts, but he does see the similarities.

Busty. ]

They make great suitors as they do warriors. [ CAUSE THAT'S IMPORTANT APPARENTLY. ] I can't see a reason for them to reject your invitation unless they prefer being looked in the eyes rather than the breasts.

[ He. means this as well. as he can. He didn't mean to be sassy??? Look, there's even a soft smile!! ]

[ COUGHS EVERYWHERE ]

Haha. Oh, you jest, Karna. Why, I don't ever recall looking at anything of the sort. Ahahaha!

[ He's not about to talk about his lancer!uncle that way???

He'll only think it. ]

No, my infatuation will remain infatuation alone. The way I regard them is a sort of love, certainly. I would move mountains for their own. [ stop this ] I could say the same for my loyalty to our Master. But the former is often caprice, and the latter ever distant.

... There is no shape to love, but could that be why it is difficult to grasp?

[ Uhm... he has seen you just stare at Passionlip’s rack and rate her straight to her face, but he doesn’t mention it only because the topic is moving away from it. Feel blessed that you’re spared. ]

Yes... Love has many forms from what I’ve heard. Many have tried to capture it into words such as Agape, Philia, Eros, Pragma and more, but it’s never enough. It evokes something far greater than words can ever possibly describe, possibly due to humanity’s own lack of understanding. Every single day they hold a battle in themselves, desperate to create their own identity, find a place to belong, and someone to love.

[ ... ]

I don’t know much about it myself. I’m far from an expert, so you need not absorb any of my words—my own life is driven by duty.

[ Thank god I don't have write paragraphs about boobs. ]

Duty can also driven by love, but I suppose it's not the kind of love you speak of.

Still, don't you ever find yourself curious?

[ I love boobs. - Gawain 2017 ]

That's true—[ But that question gains a... Perplexed expression. He never really thought about it? ] I'm not worthy of such a thing.

[He frowns. Is there something you'd like to share with the class, Karna...]

Nonsense. I can't imagine why you'd believe so. There are few more worthy of love than a child of the sun. Your family must have loved you, surely.

[ No?? He thinks it’s the most obvious thing. ]

Yes... I truly believe my father graced me—if he didn’t, he wouldn’t have bestowed upon me his gifts and protection. My mother, on the other hand, was simple-minded and innocent when she gave birth to me. I was never in her thoughts after she abandoned me as a child, but she did once acknowledged I was her son.

[ It was a touching moment! Even if he knew she was trying to use him. He doesn’t fault her for any of it. She was young, goal-oriented... Should we say selfish? She was only doing what she needed to do. ]

Even if many found my circumstances to be unfavorable, I cherished the life my mother and father gave me. It may not be the same, but I think it's love in its own way. [ Ah. What he said might have been depressing?? ] I imagine you are the light in your own family, adored and showered by all.

[ Is it love? Perhaps. He can't judge what he hasn't seen or deny it to the life before him. But if Karna's mother were as cunning as his own—and he believes so—Gawain can't help but wonder what his own life would have been if he could forgive the enchantress. As Karna speaks of his mother, his voice holds no buried hatred, no lingering regrets; in his quest for perfection, Gawain struggles to do the same. What has Karna been through to make it so easy?

He is not jealous. But perhaps if he did not feel so justified in his anger, he would be more disappointed in himself.

Still, Gawain must be Gawain. ]

Ahaha. Although I've been blessed by the sun, that title belongs to my sister. All women glimmer like the stars that paint the night sky, but Gareth is the one that shines through the morning. I cherish her deeply.

[ please don't get siscon vibes

or do, because giving off weird vibes is all gawain ever does ]

[ Just keep smiling, Gawain. It's making Karna feel better about this interaction... It makes him feel like he isn't entirely boring him with his presence and words. ]

She must be glad to have such a caring brother. [ HE'S THINKING ABOUT ARJUNA RIGHT NOW, but it's okay. ] Maybe I should follow your footsteps.

[ ... ]

I still need to find a passion that rivals your dedication to breasts, however. Master even gave me a deadline.

[ For once he's sullen because he's lost. ]

[He's glad that he was able to give Karna even a little guida—

...]

A... deadline, you say?

[What.

What.]

Can it be anything? Anything at all?

[ Yes... Karna is actually a little stressed by a deadline. If this was anything like battle, fetching anything, procuring meals, or going grocery shopping it would be Easy.

But no. It had to be some journey of self. ]

It can be, though they hoped for it to be companionship. [ ... ] It's boring... Being with me. It's much to ask for.

[ He learned to be specific after a while. ]

Perhaps I could start a "food blog"? I've surveyed several dishes in each Singularity we've been to so I can recommend them to our Master. I can share my findings and experiences with others.

[If everything in life was a fetch quest, things wouldn't have to be so hard for them, it's true.

But ah, was Karna always so self-deprecating? This isn't like Tristan's eternal slump, is it?]

That's a splendid idea, Karna. I'm certain our Master will appreciate your efforts.

[He chuckles. Honestly, he didn't think Karna would be the type...]

But I do hope you don't fret about the Master too much. They only want the best for you. Personally, I think you're doing well. In the time I've known you, you have been an insightful and pleasant companion. Many men speak of sopshtry, but I know that each word you speak carries your heart.

[ Karna has always seen his worth as 0, sorry. While Gawain seems to think it’s a good idea, he isn’t convinced. Generally, he’s determined to fulfill his duties and though he pressed how this one is actually impossible their Master is a gremlin that can’t be swayed.

Even when he’s showered by compliments, if they’re not about his skill on the battlefield, it’s just hard to believe. He opens his mouth to say how he doesn’t deserve Gawain’s kindness, but rethinks his words. ]

Thank you.

[ He learned a gesture, encouraged to use it even, so he gives Gawain a feather light kiss on the cheek. ]

[ Gawain's nice. Maybe too nice. He must be courteous, of course. He must be patient, of course. These are the virtues of a knight. And they come so naturally that others may find him two-faced at worst, bland at best. But it's not as if he lies. He just doesn't expect others to be twice as kind.

Or as honest.

Karna's lips touch Gawain's cheek and the knight stills. ]

You're welcome.

[ ... Perhaps he lingers a little too long. ]

I'm—sorry. I'm at a loss for words yet again. Funny how that's only happened now...

[ He’s observing your body language, Gawain... And it screams school girl if he knew what that archetype is. It’s endearing and forces a soft chuckle that he attempts to stifle behind a hand. ]

I didn’t think a knight of your caliber would be so innocent.

[ That could have been worded better. ]

[ Gawain clears his throat beacuse, uh? Don't laugh, Karna? That's rude.

...

Karna laughed? ]

On the contrary, a knight must be rich in knowledge as he is in skill. I don't intend to neglect my duties but... it appears that I am lacking in proper conduct.

Would you like to teach me?

That's not true.

[ Gawain seems like a good person? A great knight? Smart, handsome, loyal, diligent—like a dog. ]

I cannot possibly teach you, but... Consider this an act of adoration and praise.

[ Karna places a hand on nape of his neck, gently pulling guiding him closer so he can plant little pecks to the side of his fluffy head, then to his temple, the arch of his brow, and so on. It's slow, but it's nevertheless smothering. ]

[Gawain is used to smothering people with affection, but when the tables are turned, he's caught off guard. Perhaps if he paid closer attention to his lessons from the past, the surprises would be far and few, and Karna has done nothing but surprise him.

He presses his forehead to Karna's, keeping him away from his flushed cheeks. Stay.]

Where did you learn such a thing?

[ Hm. It's still surreal to see a Knight of the Round like this, but it would be rude not to answer him. Karna stays put like a good boy, as if the press of their foreheads makes him heel. ]

Master taught me that it's a sign of fondness.

[ He leans back before planting another peck on the bridge of his nose. ]

That color is very becoming of you. Where I come from, red stands for purity. It's also the preferred color of a bride's garments.

[ Gawain places a hand over Karna's lips after that kiss to give himself some reprieve. Please... He'll give the knight a heart attack.

What he says is suspect, though. His smile is just a little cheekier now. ]

Are you suggesting I become your bride, Child of the Sun?

... No, of course not.

[ That wasn't his intention—he hopes he hasn't offended the knight in the slightest. The light touch is met with surprise, but he gently takes Gawain's hand with his gloved fingers. ]

A great man such as yourself can be nothing but a groom.

[ He gives that hand a reassuring squeeze, too. ]
