Err, well-

[The way she carries herself, it really is like being before a mother who just knows what you've done, or what you're thinking. This is bizarre.

No sense in lying, not that he would anyway.]

A complicated one, I'm afraid.

[lifebound]

I would hear the tale.

[As it turns out, the mother of all dragons can also be very coy in her own way. Looks like you dug yourself a nice hole there, Gawain... but at least her teasing's gentle. She'll wait patiently for her due, as she always does and always would.]

[dayknight]

[He sure has. He only hopes she won't react too poorly once she's heard how it went down, though; dragonslaying's kind of in the job description.

Gawain finds himself something nearby to seat himself upon - say a rock, or a tree stump, whatever's suitable - and considers where to begin.]

He wasn't always a dragon, truth be told...something of a relative I suppose. [His mother's uncle, so.] He was opposed to my King ruling our land, because he felt humans were ill-suited to the task. So he ingested the blood of a dragon and became one himself to oppose us.

My liege fought him, for the most part. I wasn't of much use, but...in the end we had no choice but to slay him, as he posed a great threat to our people.

[Arturia would probably argue he was more involved than he's admitting, but y'know.]

[Alexstrasza's expression, such as it is for a dragon's, remains cryptic. Whether she approves or disapproves is not immediately apparent; she turns over the words in her mind, and her eventual judgment may surprise him. It is earnest and it is fair and it comes from one who has seen battle many times before.]

Then it was a good deed done. A deed for the sake of your people.

[Alexstrasza may have been a pacifist, but she was no fool. Conflict was the way of the world and fighting—even amongst her own kind—was often necessary to ensure proper balance and maintain the natural order. So she is not angry, far from it. In fact, she even appears to be smiling at him, pleased by his honesty.]

We have warred with humans in the past just as we have cooperated with them. Do not wear anything like shame before me, young one, for your heart beats proud and strong to my ears, and I know it delivers justice and does your king proud. You have my love and my affection as any of your kind ever would.
