Sometimes, Gary wonders what she sees in him. He's hardly a knight in his prime anymore, and as much as he hates to admit it, he has let himself go more than a little bit. Of course, he has power, but somehow, he doubts that she is interested in it. After all, she had him wrapped around her little finger long before this. Why she would choose him when she had her pick of courtiers was beyond him.

However, when Vania wraps her arms around him and kisses him soundly, he kisses her back, thinking that it doesn't really matter.
