"Do you... want children? And will you be all right with living in my house, away from your Twilight Realm forests, away from your Tribe?" The High Mistress was on shakier ground here, and she knew it. Hawkeye kissed the tip of her nose. "Yes, I want them. I don't need them, but children would be nice." He kissed her chin. "And yes, if I have you, I can adapt, although I'll want to visit my homeland periodically. Ask more." "Are you ever going to get around to kissing my lips?" "Yes!"

"Kier, I have a question for you," Brin said, the light returning to her eyes. "Yes, the answer is always yes," Hawkeye answered without waiting for her inquiry. "That's good to know, because I actually have a good many questions," the Witch smiled. "Ask," the Oakenling urged her. "I suppose the three most important are: Do you love me? Do you know I love you? And would you like to get married?" Hawkeye merely grinned, kissed her forehead, the corner of her eye, her cheekbone. "Yes. Ask."

"I... sometimes things just don't work because it's too soon... or too late..." The Candeliana Witch sighed. "But no, I'm not regretting it." "Good," the Oakenling replied. "That was all I wanted to hear. Dannan." He buried his fingers in her hair, tenderly leaning her head back to make her look at his face. "My name..." and her searched her expression for any sign of reticence or reluctance to hear, and found none, "my name is Kier." "Kier," Brin repeated, testing the name in her mouth.

"She revealed her name; it was only fair and honorable that I offered mine," Brin continued. "Maybe so, but Brin, I was standing right there. Are we going to go on pretending that you didn't share your name with me?" inquired the Oakenling. The Witch was silent, and, for once, refused to meet his golden eyes. "Dannan, is that what you really want?" Hawkeye persisted. "That depends..." the High Mistress said, apparently lost in contemplation of a mossy stone. "Are you regretting it, Brin?"

"Don't mention it; after all, you are paying for it with ten years of service in exchange," The Witch told him. "Ten years is cheap compared to everything you've done, not even including the involvement of your family. And no amount of service would be fair compensation for the vow you made..." Hawkeye argued sincerely. "I... you gave her your name, Brin, your true name. You didn't have to do that. You didn't have to swear your life away." "I know. I did it anyway. It was the right thing to do."
