Gawain wished to speak with her privately. She understood since she had wanted the same. She left with him from the ballroom after snitching a bottle of wine, she didn't care what type, and led them to her room as possibly being closest.

She didn't say anything until she was certain they were alone in the hallway. "What did you think?" She glanced up at him, green eyes sharp.

He nodded, cognizant of the conflicting emotions within his friend. "I don't like the idea of forcing you into that situation."

Fingers steepled, he leaned back in the chair. "Perhaps if we can't find any other Arthurians, we could still rely on select members of the other pantheons."

She frowned a little, not comfortable with that idea. She couldn't be sure why, especially not here without anything of her power.

"Switch allegiances because we are hopelessly outnumbered?" She smiled a little with a chuckle, eyeing him a bit. "What would Lancelot think."

He chuckled. "I wouldn't exactly call it switching allegiances. I would call it ... uniting for a common cause. Even if there were more Arthurians here in the hotel, I would still be inclined to invite like-minded individuals from other pantheons to join us."

The twinkle in his eye began to brighten again. "Last time I checked, Asclepius wasn't Arthurian ... and he seems a noble chap."

She smiled and ducked her head a little. covering any sort of betraying expression with a swipe of her hand over her face and through her hair.

"I get the impression that he might be a rare breed amongst them."

"And it's those 'rare breeds' amongst all the pantheons that we need to convince to join us."

He smiled at her. "As far as I am concerned, Nina, our cause is about far more than entering Avalon. It is about making it so the pantheons can coexist peacefully and productively."

That was pretty much as big of a chastisement as Gawain was wont to give. Nimue got a wry, somewhat guilty smile on her face as she chuckled softly.

"And this is why I need a knight by my side. To remind me that existence is about more than just hoarding and gathering power." She had been Merlin's pupil after all.
