"I believe this belongs to you."

The pretty redhead spun around on her heel, blue eyes going wide as she saw the handsome man who was standing behind her. He was tall and lean with a strong profile, warm brown eyes, and rather luscious looking dark hair. And then she looked down at the flower he was holding out, a pathetic, slightly crumpled thing that was missing at least one of its petals. Well, what did that matter? It wasn't flowers she was interested in.

"Does it?" she said, her voice light and full of mischief. "How do you know?"

He bowed with a flourish. "Because I've been saving it for the most beautiful woman in Camelot."

She held her breath as he stepped forward, tucking the flower in her auburn curls. "Perfect," he proclaimed with a satisfied smile. "By the way, I'm Gwaine."

Smirking up at him, she shot back, "Good to know."

"And your name?"

She started to tell him and then changed her mind, leaning closer to press a kiss to his stubbled jaw instead. "Buy me a drink, and maybe you'll find out."

In the end, it took five drinks, half a dozen pickled eggs, and a lusty romp in the stables before she finally allowed Gwaine to discover that her name really wasn't Princess Esmerelda.

He didn't seem to mind.
