[Fish is a bit nervous, but despite getting hurt, Gawain has been doing a pretty excellent job so far. Just out of impulse, and feeling as if the knight had been pushing himself on their account, the merfolk steps forward and enfolds him into an embrace.]
Thank you for protecting me.
[After a moment, Fish feels... somehow better? Though healing magic did help, the touch seemed to be doing more palpable work.]
[Gawain flushed a bit at the embrace, though it did feel nice. More than nice, as he felt a boost in power not dissimilar to if a Master had just reinforced him.
He return the embrace after a moment, patting Fish's back.]
We are in this together and I could never call myself a knight if I let another endure such a battle alone.
[Don't think he didn't notice that, but Gawain's not going to get angry that his new fine finned friend got a little fresh, because he's in a very positive mood right now .
And no, he doesn't mind actually.]
Yes we are and I will do all I can to repay that faith you have in me and then some!
[This time is much faster, with Gawain only having to fight a few times before they are out, rushing past a check point, leaving some guards blinking, before Gawain starts.]

[Though his stance is more relaxed than usual, a sign of his own weariness.]
I think it's probably a good idea if we pull from the fight entirely once we are rested. It would be bad to have a repeat of this.
no subject
[Honestly, they don't trust their sense of direction.]

[If Gawain doesn't have to slash at anything, his mana should hold out.]
That is if you can handle it. I know it is very fast, even by non-human standards.

Well, I trust you to get us out of this. Are we ready to go?
no subject

Yes we are and I will do all I can to repay that faith you have in me and then some!
no subject
[Secretly, Fish does hope you the repayment does involve some frisky action, but they wouldn't mind if there isn't any once they're through this.]
no subject
But still, it's time for another powerful rush through, with a passenger yet again!]

no subject
Now, let us never do that again.
no subject
[Fish sighs with relief, loosening their grip on the knight.]
Thank you again. I don't think I could have survived without you.
no subject
[It's said as gallantly as could be, because Gawain is that overjoyed to have survived.]
no subject
[And Fish leans in to press a kiss to the knight's cheek before they settle back on their feet.]
no subject
Thank you. I am glad to have received such a prize from you. Makes the whole matter worth it.
no subject
[Fish beams and watches him for a moment, relishing the way he flushes before looking around where it was now safe.]
Well, I guess this is where we part? Unless there is anything else you'd like, Sir Gawain?
no subject
...no I do not think there is, other than hoping we shall meet again. Under better circumstances of course.

[ Fish blows him a kiss and a wink then sashays away. ]
