Learning early on that he was considered no better than cattle, that the circumstances behind his birth were... unpleasant, and that he was powerless to defy his father -- these were all ugly truths that he was forced to understand. Though it was still a fact that, on occasion, the truth was pretty. It probably isn't hard to guess just which 'truth' Gawain thought was most beautiful. But even then, ugly truths still remain. And today, just like every day, Gawain was forced to recall a certain truth he'd much rather be without: ...That he was most certainly not what you would consider a 'morning person'. Every day was the same, regardless of how much sleep he got, or the quality of it. Sure as the sun would rise each morning, Gawain would fail to do so with any sort of enthusiasm. It mattered not if he slept well, if his bed was made of legoes or fit for royalty, in the end, when morning came and Gawain was to escape his slumber, he would do so looking more akin to a zombie than anything. Of course this wasn't so bad that it'd be a threat to his life. Were danger afoot, he would be able to rise to the occasion... it's just that rising to anything else required more effort than he'd like. Nevertheless, Gawain did not allow this... undesirable trait of his conflict with his duties as a knight. He made sure he was there for anything and everything he was needed for, to the point where most probably didn't know about that side of him. But that was all the better. He had no desire to look bad in front of his king. That is why, when he appeared alongside the rest of the knights, the only thing he allowed other people to see upon his features was a stoic expression fitting of a loyal knight who was awaiting orders. While his expression remained immovable, and he spoke not a word while Arthur and Merlin spoke, Gawain couldn't help but mentally gush at the situation. Years ago, he would never have thought he would be blessed to serve a king destined for greatness. But here he was, with the rest of the knights and demons, watching evidence of just that! And sure, things weren't exactly prepared just yet, but it was merely a matter of time before Arthur's vision was made true. To be a part of that, it brought Gawain joy he couldn't properly express. That is why Gawain almost found it pointless to bother saying anything in response. In his case, it was a given that when Arthur's desires were vocalized, that Gawain would simply comply. Yet, it was still a fact that the knight leaned into a small bow and voiced [color=purple]"As you wish."[/color] in regards to their orders. Wasting no time, he set off to do what was asked. Those that oppose Arthur's reign would come to regret doing so, Gawain would make sure of that.
