[ He's not surprised that she asks, and he had been ready to explain just this, since it's a perfectly reasonable question to ask of your Servant. However... He knows his answer is odd. Even not having met many Servants (that he remembers, at least), he can't imagine many would share anything similar. It's not something he would begrudge any of them for. ]
I don't have a wish in particular.
[ There's a gentle earnestness to his answer, even if it might not sound entirely believable. From other Servant, it might seem like a lie to avoid the question, but with Gawain, it seems to be quite true. His expression is tinged with a bit of sadness, but it's an old one. His failing is one he's come to at least accept. ]
My wish is to do just this. I was not able to loyally serve my King in life, so I think of being a Servant as something of a penance for that. My sword will always shine brightest for King Arthur, should we ever cross paths again, but in the meantime, I only wish to give my Masters what I failed to give him.
