[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.

[ ACTION ! ]

What? Oh. Me? Serve the food? S-sometimes. [He nods emphatically.] Sometimes, I serve it to Arthur. Because he trusts me. Yes.

Does Arthur not trust many other people? [ Fina looks curious. ] Um.. he must trust you a lot if he insists that only you brings him his meals.

[ ACTION ! ]

He's the prince. There aren't many that he can trust. So he needs me...to make sure his food is safe--[by bringing it to Arthur from the kitchens]--to make sure he's protected in battle--[by looking after his armour between jousts]--helping him with his horses--[by mucking out the stable.]

[ ACTION ! ]

[ Fina looks overwhelmed by that list. One thing stands out the most though: ]

... What's a horse?

You...don't know what a horse is.

[He just looks at her, amused.]

It's alright, Fina. A horse? It's an animal that you ride, takes you places.

Animals take you places in your world...? Not airships?

Horses can take you over land, and there are boats for the water. But I've never seen one of those.

[ Fina looks interested. Horses for land and boats for water? ]

Vyse's first mate made him a boat once.. um, he's gone now. But we only have airships back in Arcadia... we wouldn't be able to travel from isle to isle without them.

It's a vessel powered by moonstones and travels through the sky. There are so many back home and most of which that came to our aid... too many to count.

Though...the sky?

[His mind is boggled.]

[ Fina bows her head in confirmation, before the kettle on the stove begins to whistle shrilly at her prevents any further explanation for now. While she tends to making a cup for you, contend with Cupil pulling faces at you, Merlin. ]

[He pulls a few faces back, ending in a smile.]

He's sort of cute.

[ Fina smiles as she finishes making the tea for the two of them. ]

S-Should we move into the living room? [ She is still not one hundred percent comfortable sitting in the kitchen. ]

[ ACTION ! ]

From: [identity profile] awaitingalbion.livejournal.com
Oh! Of course. Probably shouldn't be asking you to make such a fuss over me, anyway. [He eyes the newly grown wing with apprehension.]

May I carry those for you, Miss Fina?

[ ACTION ! ]

[ Fina blinks at the offer. ]

Um.. but you are the guest here, Merlin.

[ ACTION ! ]

Date: 2010-02-03 02:45 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] awaitingalbion.livejournal.com
[He shrugs, and quite insistently reaches out to grab the cups of tea.] We're all guests here. Even if we're more like prisoners.

[ ACTION ! ]

[ Fina does not quite yelp at how Merlin shrugs off her insistence, and lets him take them. ] Prisoners...

Of the Malnosso, yes. [He heads back towards the living room and with just enough learned dexterity, places them neatly down.]

[ Fina follows him. ]

... You did mention that Arthur is still.. [ She trails off. ] I.. I'm sure he'll be all right, Merlin.

I'm not so sure. He doesn't exactly do well, without me. [He pauses, but eventually breaks into a small smile.] For all his training, he's kind of hopeless without my help.

[ ACTION ! ]

Date: 2010-02-03 02:59 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] silviteadvocate.livejournal.com
I think he's very fortunate to have you. Even if there are times that he doesn't show it...

[ ACTION ! ]

Date: 2010-02-03 03:02 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] awaitingalbion.livejournal.com
He hasn't fired me yet, perhaps that's showing enough. [He shrugs, saying this more to himself than to Fina.

And oh! There was what he wanted to talk to her about.]
Last time, we discussed magic. You remember?

[And he's not sitting until you sit first, Fina.]
