Is it strange for someone to still be kidnapped after a whole month? Arthur's been gone for so long.

[He sighs. There's rustling of paper and Merlin eyes Fina's notes with great trepidation. He cannot understand why he has not had some measure of success with them. They were so charmingly written, so thoughtfully recorded. He sighs for a second time.]

Fina, you know that thing? I'm still having no luck. Perhaps I need a little more assistance.

[ooc; he's taken but after Fina comments feel free to troll him anyway, hear him sing his praises of the beautiful, magical lady of his heart!]

I did not wait.

[...That was said quickly; far more quickly than anything Merlin has heard him say so far]

[Voice]

What--? [He sounds alarmed.] Did you go to save her, instead? Did you find a way? If so, you must tell me--I have to rescue the prince.

[Voice]

[taintedruby.livejournal.com]

I... tried to.

[He traversed the entire outer edge of the barrier]

[Voice]

[awaitingalbion.livejournal.com]

But...it didn't work. [He doesn't so much ask as state.]

[Voice]

[taintedruby.livejournal.com]

[He nods. Somberly; it was all in vain but he tried hard for all of those two months]

[Voice]

[awaitingalbion.livejournal.com]

I was hoping to find some way to get to him.

[Voice]

[taintedruby.livejournal.com]

Blades cannot... breach the barrier.

[Voice]

[awaitingalbion.livejournal.com]

Then..I will have to find some other way. Without blades.

[...He nods that that. He has no ability with magic, so that seems very possible to him]

[Voice]

[awaitingalbion.livejournal.com]

The barrier sounds as though it is made from sorcery, anyway. Is it far from the village?

[Voice]

[taintedruby.livejournal.com]

...A day's march.

[...Through forest at a really brisk pace. May or may not be accurate though; it took him two days because he traced the mountains]

[Voice]

[awaitingalbion.livejournal.com]

It's a shame that I haven't seen any stables around. Are there any horses?

[Voice]

[taintedruby.livejournal.com]

The land does not... lend to steeds. [He's not much of a horseback rider but he knows it's harder to run a horse though forests and mountainous terrain. He pauses before he continues with-] Woods... and mountainsides.

Then, I suppose I will have to go by foot. Thank you, Jaffar. This information's been very helpful.
