[The sound of a throat-clearing cough.]

Can anyone tell me about a blue-haired girl who calls herself a soldier?

[But earlier this day--before he makes the voice post--Merlin is out picking up fresh ingredients for Arthur's evening meal. He is in the shop, picking through some vegetables. He looks...confused.]

[Minato is shopping today too since most of the things in their pantry were spoiled last weekend. He recognizes the man who came to visit Fina, though he never got a name then. ...It seems like he could use some help.]

Looking for something?

[awaitingalbion.livejournal.com]

[Oh, look. Merlin looks up and is surprised to see Fina's servant. He smiles.] I thought that soup would be a great idea; unfortunately, I'm more used to seving it than I am making it.

[gravity-splode.livejournal.com]

You mean like someone here, right?

[awaitingalbion.livejournal.com]

Yes. She attacked someone a few days ago.

[emp3thy]

[he walks a little closer to see what he's been examining] What kind of soup?

[awaitingalbion.livejournal.com]

The kind with vegetables in it? [He looks hopeful for a brief, shining moment--and then morose.] I don't want to make too much in case Arth--I mean--the person that I'm living with isn't feeling well. I'm not sure how much he can keep down.

[emp3thy]

Maybe not soup then.

[and he moves around, picking out a few ingredients like green onions and ginger] I can show you how to make okayu. It's good when you're sick.

[awaitingalbion.livejournal.com]

Okayu? [He echoes, sounding first rather skeptical. But then as the ingredients were gathered, Merlin's doubt drifts away. Maybe he could at least make up for disturbing Arthur earlier by making something new and impressive.]

[Spots him and sees that confused look while he's going through the vegetables. Well, since she's there getting her own food, she might as well help him out.]

Need some help?

[emp3thy]

It's a rice porridge. [Basic, but he'll spice it up some for your benefit, though a sick person probably won't be able to tell what he's tasting at all.]

I could.

[gravity-splode.livejournal.com]

Can't really help then.

Please tell me she didn't do something bad again!?

Is subtlety truly beyond you?

[ McCoy is also grocery shopping today, but seems less worried about what he is grabbing... although he does stop near the vegetables to give the carrots a filthy look. That is when he spots Merlin looking perplexed and recognizes him as the kid he mocked for lack of facial hair during the blizzard. ]

Having trouble, kid?

A blue-haired girl...?

[Merlin looks up with a pitiful expression on his face.]

I've...never made soup before.

[awaitingalbion.livejournal.com]

Rice porridge. [He repeats the name of th dish, tilting his head in doubt. He certainly didn't know what it was. But, perhaps Arthur would. After all, the Prince has been a dinner guest at many tables.]

Alright. I'll give it a go. [He decides with a nod.]

[Written | Mercury]

[awaitingalbion.livejournal.com]

[He leaps upon the answer.]

You can?

[awaitingalbion.livejournal.com]

Alright. Thanks...anyway? [Merlin tries to be polite. Really.]

I don't have any need for subtlety. If someone is going around and attacking people, the rest need to know. She could attack anyone else, next.

[awaitingalbion.livejournal.com]

You know her?

[brb trying to balance a few potatoes in my arms and oh, it's you. mocking facial hair guy.]

Err, what? No. Not at all. Not me. Or, yes. Sorry--what was the question again?

[awaitingalbion.livejournal.com]

Yes. And apparently, she is also a sorceress.

[Filtered | Audio]

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

I do! I promise she isn't always like this, and I'm trying to fix everything as soon as possible!
