Would anyone know where I could find a vacant house? [Merlin pauses, drumming his fingers against the journal's pages.] This apartment is getting a little cramped--[and the next bit sounds rather forced, as though someone had expressly ordered him to say it:] It's not really up to snuff for a King of Camelot and his royal household.

[Merlin adds further complaint beneath his breath.] And I could do with not sleeping on a sofa. I told Arthur those things were bad for my back--and then he has the nerve to wonder why the washing's not been done.

[After this important request is dispatched, Merlin will be in the library. Having ducked out of dish duty, he sneaks his way out of the building and across the village with record time. The meeting on sorcery has truly rekindled a desire to learn previously subdued by Arthur's mortal peril and Uther's arrival.

Well into the evening (and with a lighted candlestick instead of electric lights), Merlin is tearing down many books on magic that he can find from the shelves. He scans most, but often becomes distracted by some of the lengthier descriptions of varieties in magic different from what he has known at home.

Anyone who comes by to also lurk in the library this evening may walk in upon a few of the spells he tries out. This may involve a few pages accidentally burning, or the sudden growth of a lilac bush on an empty chair.]

[ emony can't be of much help by way of suggesting housing, but the word "royal" does catch her attention and she can't help but inquire. she's spoken to merlin before, but she had no idea he had royal connections. ]

Unfortunately? Why would having connections to royalty be unfortunate of all things?

I work for a prince. [He corrects, gently.] And we've been staying in building six.

[Pause.] But--Xion? How are you?
fourteen: (address → do I disappear?)

Um... I'm not positive which ones are empty, but... wow, you're pretty far from the middle of the village. [ looking at the map while they talk. ] Maybe the "royal household" should be closer...? [ she says it with a little humor, at least.

but his question makes her pause. anyone asking her that lately makes her uneasy. hesitantly: ]

[At home on a Saturday night Celty would be curled up on the couch with her laptop, watching television or maybe playing some video games with Shinra and being a sore loser. Here, none of that was possible. The journals were a poor substitute for the Internet and the Dollars site and there wasn't much in the town for her to explore.

So today, she is looking for books. When she starts wandering around the stacks, however, she gets the sense that something is off. Following her senses she steps around a shelf and comes across a young man... making a plant grow on a chair. Well.]
