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!]

[Kind, Fina? Oh, but he only tells the truth.]

I could...come meet you, at your place? If that's okay--I mean--I wouldn't want to disturb you.

Oh, you wouldn't be disturbing me. It'll be all right.. um, Minato has gone somewhere today and I would lov— [ No Fina, you can't say that. You have a boyfriend, remember. Instead, she utters a strangled: ] ... like to spend time with you.

I'll be there soon.

[In his excitement, he doesn't bother to even shut his journal. There's a messy assortment of noises as Merlin hops around, getting boots on, and as he knocks over a chair.

He wears a big grin on his face as he begins his walk.]

[ Fina tilts her head at the curious noises from his end before she closes her journal and waits for him. During the wait, she finds herself idly checking her hair in the mirror and trying to smooth it down. She has to look nice for him, after all... no being sloppy. ]

[Knock knock knock. Merlin shows up as soon as he can and when Fina opens the door? He'll be holding his hands (quite suspiciously) behind his back.]

From: [identity profile] silviteadvocate.livejournal.com
[ Oh, it's him! Quite excited to hear the knock at the door, Fina rushes to answer it. Although his odd stance does cause a few curious blinks from the Silvite. ]

U-Um! Come in!

[From behind his back, he produces a single yellow rose. He had spent a long time at the flower shop--which Razette had pointed out to him--trying to decide on a colour. Red seemed too dark and complicated. White? Too friendly. He wanted something gently vibrant. So a cool, pale pastel yellow (http://farm1.static.flickr.com/204/464449225_0c2f15309a.jpg?v=0) seemed to fit Fina wonderfully.]

I felt like I couldn't come empty handed. After all, you've been so kind to me.

[ To say that reveal was unexpected would be an understatement as Fina raises a hand to her mouth in surprise as he produces the rose. Wordlessly and blushing furiously, she takes the flower from Merlin and holds it between her fingers, gazing at it as her heart hammers uncomfortably in her chest. Cupil emerges from around her wrist (as if sensing this) and warbles curiously at the gift. ]

Oh.. it's... it's beautiful. Thank you so much.

From: [identity profile] awaitingalbion.livejournal.com
[He sidelines a smile at Cupil.] I just thought you might like it. I saw it and it reminding me of you.

[He finds himself a little shy himself, unable to make full eye contact.]

From: [identity profile] silviteadvocate.livejournal.com
[ Fina does feel a little guilty at her reaction; aren't roses meant to be given as gifts to boyfriend and girlfriend? No, Merlin just said it reminded him of her, that's all and she swallows that down and that is when she notices his averted gaze. She giggles at his apparent shyness. ]

Err--can I come in, Fina?

[He peeks around her shoulders, looking at the warmth of the house. Besides, he was beginning to feel a little self-conscious on her porch.]

[ action ]

From: [identity profile] silviteadvocate.livejournal.com
Y-Yes! I'm sorry, please come in.

From: [identity profile] awaitingalbion.livejournal.com
[He gets his gangly self inside. And first things first? He remembers to take off his boots. He sets them very neatly by the door--not wanting to disappoint Fina in any regard. After, he looks up from the task with a full grin.]

I-it's so quiet. Peaceful. Were you here all alone, Fina? [There's a touch of reproach with the moment.]

[ action ]

From: [identity profile] silviteadvocate.livejournal.com
[ Fina strokes the stem of the rose with her finger and nods in response to his question, not being able to discern the chiding tone from his words. Being alone isn't entirely unusual for the Silvite considering her history. ]

I was, yes. Um.. I saw a girl shout for Minato over the journals earlier, so I think he's gone to see what she wants. [ She looks amused. ] And.. I wasn't entirely alone. Cupil was here with me, after all.

[ action ]

Date: 2010-02-22 01:34 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] awaitingalbion.livejournal.com
Cupil? Ah--of course. How could I forget? [Which means he smiles at the companion in question.]

I'm just...worried. Arthur was alone when he was taken.

[ action ]

Date: 2010-02-22 01:41 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] silviteadvocate.livejournal.com
... Oh, he was? Um.. I'm sorry.

[ Cupil chirps at Merlin. ] We have been all right. Cupil is perfectly capable of protecting me.

[ action ]

From: [identity profile] awaitingalbion.livejournal.com
I'm...sure he is. [Merlin nods, tilting his head affectionately.] But, a lady like you? Oh, Fina. You deserve a whole battalion of knights. As soon as Arthur's back, I'll talk to him about arranging something.

[ action ]

Date: 2010-02-22 04:56 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] silviteadvocate.livejournal.com
[ She blinks at that and blushes. ]

That's very kind, but.. I don't think I need a battalion of knights. After all, Luceti isn't very dangerous... [ Although Rena did cut off her wing that time. Still, Merlin is acting very strange suggesting that. ] ... And I think Arthur would like a battalion of knights for himself. Um.. he is royalty, after all.

[ ... Anyway. ] Can I get you anything?

[ action ]

Date: 2010-02-23 03:04 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] awaitingalbion.livejournal.com
Arthur has himself--and, me. He doesn't need a whole battalion. And no, thanks. I think I'm good. Thanks for the offer, though. Very...sweet of you.

[ action ]

From: [identity profile] awaitingalbion.livejournal.com
Kind. Commendable. [He takes a slow, hesitant step closer.] I mean, to offer to get something for a servant. I don't often hear that kind of offer.

From: [identity profile] silviteadvocate.livejournal.com
[ Fina glances up at him when he takes that extra step closer to her in the hallway, feeling the stem of the rose crackle as she applies unknown pressure she did not know she held, her fingers fumbling tighter around the gift as if to replace her feet that removed to shuffle backwards. This close up, she thought, she could see just how very attractive he was... ]

... Servant? [ It was not a word she did not understand. She had heard of those, of course. Aika had ridiculed and teased Enrique about it after the Prince had helped them escape from the Grand Fortress. It was an unfamiliar word to Fina until that evening on Crescent Isle... although she was confused about it now. ]

[Merlin nods. His voice feels like it's catching in his throat--it isn't the most glamorous admission to make to a beautiful young woman. He reaches very carefully out, touching the Fina's wrist. The wrist that belongs to the hand she uses to hold the rose.]

Fina. I-I'm Arthur's servant. [He sounds concerned.] And I've been his servant for two years. Is...that a problem? I know well enough from Arthur that, often, people don't want to be friends with servants.

[ She shakes her head passionately, earrings slapping erratically against the side of her face, trying to ignore the burning sensation in her cheeks as he touches her wrist and asks that question. ] N-No, it's not a problem at all!

[ Her voice becomes softer as she looks down. ] ... I'm sorry that you felt you had to keep something like that from me. But.. it doesn't matter to me if you're.. um, Arthur's servant. Not at all... nothing could change the way I.. um, the way I feel about you, Merlin.

Feel about me? [He echoes, removing his touch from her wrist as if in fear of passing some horrible boundary. He licks his lips. So many nervous habits come out at once.] Fina. You--you're one of the finest individuals I have ever met. I guess I was worried about how someone of your quality would feel...spending time with a manservant. But--[he smiles, quietly]--I should have trusted my gut and should have known you were too good for that kind of thing.
