Third Floor Common Room, Wednesday Afternoon

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

It had taken a few moments to figure out the DVD player, but Merlin did as he was told and just pushed buttons until it worked. It was a surprisingly good method.

He sat back, ready to watch this porno thing that Emmett had said would be interesting.

And in the first five minutes, he couldn't quite understand the draw of this sort of entertainment. It was only like Morgana and Gwen in the fact that they looked vaguely similar. The way they talked and the room they were in certainly didn't look like any castle he'd ever seen. And, really, those dresses were just terribly impractical for a lady or a servant. They must be terribly cold--

Merlin's eyes went very big as the dress issue was solved and they ladies started kissing. The only sound he made was the verbal equivalent of a keysmash.

[[Open like a common room where a wizard is being scarred for life is!]]

"Oh wow. Oh!" Okay, now, more mental images, and more flailing. "I didn't know Cal had a girlfriend." Wow, the tide of red up Dinah's face had as much to do with those images while talking to Cal's girlfriend as anything else.

"Yes! Accident. Nice guy!" Dinah pointed to Merlin, adding, "He barely even looked when I was in my underwear!"

"We only admitted we were dating like a week ago," Claire told Dinah, eyeing the blush and wondering what it meant. "How come you were around Merlin in your underwear?"

"Stupid laundry strike," Dinah said, rubbing her face. "And I had Arthur's shirt on." She paused. "Not really helping, is it?" She took a breath, then said, "Random underwear moment, act of chivalry, Merlin interruptus, all better and done."

"Except now they've both seen you in your undies," Claire pointed out. "Did they at least match?"

Dinah laughed, turning pink again. "Uh. Red camisole with a gold design. Star-spangled panties." Yes, they did match if you knew who Wonder Woman was, but... "So no. Not really." She paused, looking horrified. "Oh god. I'll bet Arthur critiqued my underwear. He critiques everything."

"He's the blond one, right?" Claire was still vague on the new kids. "I think I terrorized him trying to take his picture. Not exactly somebody I was desperate to talk to again."

"He's kind of a prat," Dinah agreed. "I mean, chivalrous, with the shirt-donation. And serious about protecting people. But wow, a stick up his... anyway. Yeah, that's the one." She grinned suddenly, delighted. "You terrorized him with the camera? Really?"

Claire was now one of Dinah's favorite people ever.

"Not intentionally," Claire said, though she was smiling because it would be cool if it had been. "I think I asked if I could shoot him and he kind of took it the wrong way."

"Oh yeah, that would do it," Dinah agreed. "He probably thought you were going to hit him with some kind of magic arrow. Which I guess isn't impossible where he's from, so." She smiled ruefully. "I am going to remember this the next time he snarks on me."
