[With a clearing of his throat, Merlin addresses the journal system.]

Perhaps...I am not really cut out to be a knight. Although, it'd be nice to get some of the recognition. A knight is never stuck serving breakfast.

[There's a quiet, longing look as Merlin looks "off screen" towards Arthur's abandoned sword. Knights, after all, had so much more of an acceptable heroism.]

Miss Fina, could I request an audience with you? It's about--err--what we talked about, last time. I could use some help.

[Merlin is shown drawing a palm across his face. He grumbles.] Arthur's still not back.

[She repeats the written message again.]

Litel.

[He doesn't have a response to that, honestly, so he just... keeps staring. He is paying attention though, honestly!]

[ ani hesitates. being away is no excuse to abandon... he could understand that well. as rebellious of a knight as he was, he still held on to the ideals and rules of the order with an iron grip and refused to speak of things (re: his marriage) here that he wouldn't back home. ]

As a knight myself, but presumably not the type you are familiar with, I know that concept well.

Razette--can you draw, too?

[He sketches a clumsy, cartoonish dragon at her. It's not very good. But he does so to explore potential alternative methods of communication.]

[awaitingalbion.livejournal.com]

[Kind of at a loss for anything else, he goes:] I'm...Merlin, by the way.

[awaitingalbion.livejournal.com]

Y-you're a knight? From which kingdom?

[ ACTION ! ]

[awaitingalbion.livejournal.com]

Listen to what? [He's probing.] The air?

[screw-the-rules.livejournal.com]

Well, hell, if he's that much of a snob, doesn't sound like it'd be much of a loss, if you ask me. And yeah, yeah, I know. You're connected and all that--but still.

[Standard circles passing off as flowers suddenly appear on the page, and that's all she can draw.]

[taintedruby.livejournal.com]

[...Nod.

Yeah he's a wall and doesn't get this is where he says his name]

[awaitingalbion.livejournal.com]

[It's okay. Merlin will go the extra (nosy) distance himself.] And you would be...?

[Video + Written + Voice!]

[awaitingalbion.livejournal.com]

Better than me! [He lies aloud, but feels it's a lie worth telling.]

[awaitingalbion.livejournal.com]

Believe me, the thought of running from it all has been rather tempting.

[taintedruby.livejournal.com]

...Jaffar.

[Deadpan. HE IS ALLERGIC TO WORDS, OKAY :C sob]

[awaitingalbion.livejournal.com]

Jaffar, hm? Well, nice to meet you.

[You know what the best cure for an allergy is? Exposure! Oh darnit wait that's fear.]

[taintedruby.livejournal.com]

[...NOD. Totally nice to meet you too. Not really though. Nothing is ever nice ever because Jaffar is dead on the insane sob sob sob]

[screw-the-rules.livejournal.com]

Nah, no point in running. I dunno if I believe in all that destiny crap, but if it is true, then things'll work out how they're supposed to--whether you want 'em to or not. Huh...

[He's silent for a long moment as a sudden thought occurs to him. He's not used to thinking much, so it takes awhile.]

And I still don't see any reason why you can't do whatever you want--while you're here, at least. If you really do have that destiny thing going on, then you'll both run into each other--hell, you probably won't be able to avoid each other. And it ain't like either one of you's going anywhere anytime soon.

[She shakes her head. The dragon looked nicer.]

[awaitingalbion.livejournal.com]

[It was probably less fun than talking to Arthur, but:] Did, ah, you decide to suddenly switch career paths, too?

[Video + Written + Voice!]

[awaitingalbion.livejournal.com]

Oh, no. Absolutely, yours is better. Mine? It mostly looks like...a lizard. A really sick lizard. A lizard with the plague.

[taintedruby.livejournal.com]

[There is a decently long pause as he considered and then-] I... do not know.

[After all, he did feel compelled to talk more]

[Video + Written + Voice!]

[mermaidofnoel.livejournal.com]

[Pouting at you. You're just tricking her now.]

[ ACTION ! ]

[silviteadvocate.livejournal.com]

[ Fina nods. ]

Yes.. you can hear her everywhere.

[Video + Written + Voice!]

[awaitingalbion.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid it's true. I mean, really, have you ever seen a dragon that looks like that?

[awaitingalbion.livejournal.com]

Seems like an odd thing to not know. Did you change jobs or not?
