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.]


{ooc - out of character, we're looking at house #40 so if someone could steer him in that direction, that would be great!}

If he manages to even live to be king.

If you're even one tenth of who Merlin is supposed to be he ought to, right?

Exactly. Though--you realize--I did not ask for Arthur to be my responsibility.

But he still is, you could've refused.

You should try refusing a massive dragon. It's not as simple as it sounds.

What the hell's a dragon got to do with anything?

He's the one who claims our destinies are tied together. Chained together is more like it, though. [His voice grows an edge. The dragon is no favourite of his.]

...What so you've got a red string tied around your pinky with a dragon?
