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!]]

"People watch this quite a bit here then?" Merlin said, pretending his wasn't as red as he was.

"Honestly, I have no idea," she admitted. "Most people, as far as I know, tend to watch this in the privacy of their own rooms, either alone or with a loved one."

"Why would they watch it with a loved one?" When they could be doing with that said loved one.

"Some people find it stimulating to watch," Inara said with a shrug. "It's not my place to judge."

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"Stimulating?" Give him a moment. "Oh!"

[ambassadorinara.livejournal.com]

Grinning, Inara asked, "So, am I to take it that you are rather new to this kind of viewing?"

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"There are--" He waved his hand a bit. "Drawings back home. But nothing like this."

[ambassadorinara.livejournal.com]

"Hopefully there's nothing like this anywhere else eit--are those horses???"

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

Merlin's eyes went wide. "Oh god..."

[ambassadorinara.livejournal.com]

"Well that's just disgusting," said she who didn't judge. "I mean, think of the poor horses. That's got to violate some kind of animal cruelty law."

Merlin was whimpering now. "Oh god."

[ambassadorinara.livejournal.com]

"It's okay," Inara said, reaching out to put a comforting hand on Merlin's arm, "It's not real. Not even close to real. We'll be fine."

"I am going to massacre Emmett for this."

[ambassadorinara.livejournal.com]

"Why?" Not that she had any idea who Emmett was...

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"He loaned me this to help me understand television shows here."

[ambassadorinara.livejournal.com]

"And he told you to watch it in the common room?" Inara frowned, seriously displeased by that idea.

"He's the type for that." Said the guy who put up with Arthur being the same on a regular basis.

[ambassadorinara.livejournal.com]

"So, a bully."
