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!]

Oh, you won't be home? [What? No mental gears a-working here.]

I'll let her know.

Thanks. [Though the way the journal is showing no picture is a bit odd...]

And if she asks where you are?

[Merlin taps the journal as he waits...wondering where Minato's face is.]

[written/filtered]

[emp3thy]

She can contact me here.

[still no picture.]

[Merlin interprets all of this in the complete opposite direction of the truth.]

Minato--are you in some kind of trouble?

[written/filtered]

[emp3thy]

[what.] I'm fine.

[Mysterious written messages with no visual? Merlin smells fish.]

Then why is it that you need me to tell her? [The journal picks up a gentle chuckle, betraying his pure curiousity.] Couldn't you leave a note for her yourself?

[emp3thy]

I'm a little... busy. [okay fine, since you are a fellow guy he'll explain.] I'm staying with my girlfriend.

[yes, he's calling her girlfriend now. The experiment is in complete control.]

Oh. [He writes it out, but the journal again picks up a more telling version: "Oh. Oh. Right."--but Merlin mostly believes he's talking to himself.]

I didn't know that you were courting anyone, Minato.

[written/filtered]

[emp3thy]

I am now.

[can "happiness" be conveyed through writing?]

[You're not drawing little cartoon hearts are you, Minato?]

Congratulations. I'm sure she is very happy to have you.

[written/filtered]

[emp3thy]

Hopefully. ☺

[...yes, he actually drew a smiley face.]

[What a far cry from the evil death cultist of last month. Merlin laughs again.]

Enjoy your day, Minato. I'll keep a good eye on Fina.

[emp3thy]

[Hey, that wasn't really him, okay. ....Not that this is completely either, but.]

Thank you.

I'm heading out to visit Fina now. Have a great day, Minato.
