Of course. [ She's just going to close her journal and leaves her room, grabbing a dagger just in case on her way out. You can't blame her for being cautious. ]
[He's making an effort here, okay? He even left his sword behind. It's not like there's a dagger in his boot or another carefully hidden under his shirt because he is making an effort. Your lack of trust is not appreciated.
She'll be at the doors before him since he took some time to find a couple of things first. He's holding them in his hand as he strolls to the castle. His manner is deceptively casual.]
[ He has yet to earn her trust, thank you very much, a process that will be long and frustrating for him should he dare to try.
She resist the frown attempting to sour her expression when he approaches, tilting her head in a attempt to make out the items he is carrying. He is trying to get into her good graces? ]
[Lucky him then that he has no interest in actually earning her trust, huh? He's doing this more for the sake of not being an asshole. At least on the outside. He smiles when he sees her, bowing deeply. He's still holding the unopened bag of marshmallows he swiped from the house and the flower branch he'd found on the way here. He makes no move to give them to her yet.]
[ She smiles tightly at him, for the sake of being pleasant, and bows her in return. Marshmallows and a flower branch, she has received grander gifts but he at least deserve some points for effort. ]
[You made him live in a cave with Arthur for a week. Be happy they're not poisoned.]
As I told you through the journal, I wish to apologize. My behavior was unbecoming. [Totally unbecoming for a knight, he didn't have his sword on him.] And I am sorry for dragging you out today, but I felt the journals are too impersonal for such matters.
[ You've probably lived in worst places, so shut your mouth. ]
There is nothing to truly forgive, I understand why you behaved as you did. How else would one act in front of someone they believed to be their enemy? [ She tries to hold back the bitterness but it manages to slip through regardless. ] You are right in that, as helpful as it can be, the journal is not suitable for conversations such as this.
I am grateful for my lady's understanding. Doesn't change the fact that I was wrong. [From everyone except his point-of-view. He thinks he took it quite well. He holds out the marshmallows and flower.] These are for you. They're not much, I know, but I hoped you would accept them.
[ It could have been worse, much worse, he could have pulled his sword on her and attempted to strike her down then and there. But he didn't.
Another tight smile and she takes the flower, her free hand lightly caressing a few of the petals before also taking the marshmallows. She will have to get Allen another bag at some point. ]
The flower is beautiful. You have done more than expected of you, for that you have my thanks.

That's me. I'm just full of surprises.

And as long as these surprises never end with a sword pointed at her, she can live with them. ]

If he doesn't, I do. Besides someone has to keep him on his toes.
