No, Dea, and you need never worry about that. Gwymplane will never love or be beloved save by you.
Dea
Ah, how good it is to hear that! How beautiful tonight is! I would like to sit forever like this, very near to you and talking of Gwymplane.
[A sudden voice almost at their elbow. Enter Phedro.]
Phedro

[Ursus rising whispers to Dea to go.]
Why do you dismiss your beautiful daughter? Her pallor, her most haunting stare, have already sown chaos in the heart of a certain important personage.
Ursus
Leave me, Dea.
