Magical Reserve - Preserve Next to the Cabins, Wednesday

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"Hullo everyone!" Merlin greeted those who came with perhaps a bit less of the enthusiasm he had about ice cream the other night.

Alright, quite a bit less.

"Today we'll be trying a bit of what the fighters did yesterday with hide and seek. Though for us, I think it ought to be okay to use a bit of magic to aid ourselves. If you're able."

Which, sadly, he was not.

"So, pair up and get to work."

"I was just curious to see if you could," Arthur replied, leaning further into that tree. Let Merlin carry on with his cleaning business.

"Alright," Merlin replied slowly and picked up a stack of paper saucers. They really were rather handy.

"So beyond ice rinks and burning down preserves," Arthur said, after a moment or two, "How's the growing things bit coming along?"

"I'm working on it still," Merlin admitted. "It's... hard. You need to figure out how to remind the seed what it wants to be."

Re: Talk to the Boys

[bitchprince]

"'Remind it what it wants to be'?"

This was Arthur. He had maaany questions.

He was also achieving that Look he had upon occasion, where Merlin appeared to be fascinating to the point of him trying to figure the boy out.

"To be a plant. It's not getting the soil or water or time it thinks it needs, so it's hard to get around."

Re: Talk to the Boys

[bitchprince]

'Hard to get around'.

Arthur actually had to snort out a slight laugh at that. It wasn't a mean one. "No soil or water and it's just 'hard to get around' to you," he said.

Merlin looked up a bit sheepishly. "It's possible, I'm certain of it. Karla wouldn't have tried to teach it if not. I just need to figure out how."

"Don't strain that mind of yours too much," Arthur informed him, "It doesn't go that far."

He pushed away from the tree. "So am I going to find you talking to the undergrowth now?"

Re: Talk to the Boys

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"No, Arthur."

Re: Talk to the Boys

[bitchprince]

"Babbling to raddishes?" Arthur tried, looking entirely too amused. "Chatting with carrots?"

Re: Talk to the Boys

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"Pontificating with cabbages?" Merlin suggested.

Arthur snatched one of those last remaining paper saucers to thump him lightly on the head with. "Try not to get too caught up with the sprouts," he advised.

"You might have to drag me away from their conversation," Merlin replied with a grin. "Best I've had in the last ten minutes."

Re: Talk to the Boys

[bitchprince]

"If that's an attempt to insult my ability to converse, Merlin," Arthur told him, dropping the saucer on the boy's head where it belonged, "I'll have you know I'm the most interesting person you know."

Re: Talk to the Boys

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"Oi!" Merlin scooped up the dropped plates. "You haven't done an interesting thing yet."

Re: Talk to the Boys

[bitchprince]

"I've done several interesting things just this morning," Arthur informed him, "There's nothing those sprouts can do to match."

Crossing his arms over his chest, Merlin smirked up at him. "I'm waiting to hear just what."

Re: Talk to the Boys

[bitchprince]

"You wouldn't appreciate it," Arthur said, faux-haughtily, "It involved manly pursuits."

Which is to say he'd taught Brynmor how to sit. Brilliant, Arthur.

Re: Talk to the Boys

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"Then what were you doing?"

Re: Talk to the Boys

[bitchprince]

"I was training Brynmor."

Re: Talk to the Boys

"Was it not to piddle indoors?"

Re: Talk to the Boys

[bitchprince]

"I think he's got the hang of that," Arthur assured him, "Unless you've been taking him up to your room again, you big girl."

Re: Talk to the Boys

"She cries!"

Suuuch a girl.

"He's a dog, Merlin," Arthur said, with a sigh, "Not a small child."

He was saying that to people a lot around here.
