[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.

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.]

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

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

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

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

[She blinks then shakes her head. Well, the only dragon she's seen is a tiny pink ball of fur that looked more like a rabbit than anything else, so she has no basis.]

There you go, then. That? Looks nothing like a real dragon. And this? [He scribbles a very clumsy stick figure, with a cartoonish crown and rather stern lineface.] That looks nothing like a real prince.

[She laughs at that, which sounds like a strange mix of cheerful songs.]

[That laugh! Enchanting and quite nice to listen to. It inspires some co-laughter and Merlin smiles back at Razette.]

So, there's sound in there somewhere.
