Gavin smiled. "My dear lady, it would only be improper if you had improper plans," he said with a wink. He made a mental note to learn which one was which. He couldn't keep calling them 'lady' for the whole trip. When they presented his gift, he was amazed. Goldsparite fur was highly prized. He, himself, only had a few articals of clothing with it.<br/><br/>"This is beautiful," he breathed. "I am deeply honored by your generosity." He put on the silver fox cape, looking in a mirror to see how it looked on him. Never had he dreamed of owning something so wonderful. This kind of fur was almost never exported from Goldspar.<br/><br/>Turning back to the twins, he smiled. "I see that the only thing that can hope to rival your beauty is your kindness."<br/><br/>*****************<br/><br/>Diane smiled as Lord Martinez escorted her into the bird cage. She made sure the door shut before the Ritter Hex could enter. That would give them a few moments of privacy. She had never been around a foreigner, so this was the most exciting moment of her life.<br/><br/>"It's a little loud, but I love it here," she said, bringing him over to a covered bench. "I used to hide here when I was little. Gavin knew where I was, but he'd pretend to look for me elsewhere so I could be alone."
