The Salle, Monday Morning

Getting to go back to regular practice after the time spent in New York? Priceless. At least if you asked Arthur, who was up good and early that morning to do just that. His muscles were aching after a while, having grown a bit lazy over the past few days despite his best efforts, but he took that as a good thing. Building.

He might have been a mite bit focused on his own drills today, yes; he was even more precise than usual. The practice dummy appreciated it.

Yay for routine. And working out. And Being All You Could Be, so someday, you too could fight crime in fishnets and hopefully not date jerks and--

Yeah. Time to grab those sticks and hit something. "Hey, Arthur. Happy New Year. Have a good break?" She'd seen him around the New Year's party, but hadn't felt up to saying 'hi' at the time.

"It was uneventful," Arthur supplied. Which was Arthurian for 'I got bored up to my eyeballs and may have considered leaping out the window had it not been for all the sex'.

The strikethrough part was just for his own reference, mind. He had no intention of fitting that into a three-word sentence. "Barring the New York trip, which Morgana found interesting."

You could tell by how the dummy was very stoic about the entire session.

"Do you think I ought to see if I can try that bird thing on purpose?" Merlin asked, not looking up from his iPhone. He'd somehow managed to find Spider Solitaire.

He may never put it down.

"And get stuck for another month?" Arthur called back, dubiously. "Now you're just borrowing trouble."

Dinah knew the un-strike-through-'d part pretty well by now, also, that whatever he found 'interesting' was usually entertaining. "Oh?" Whap whap whappity whap! "What'd Morgana find there?" Cinq siete, doce dos, uno ocho nueve! And Dinah split her attention between the eskrima and Arthur perfectly, waiting for an answer there.

Arthur shot her a funny look. "It's Morgana," he returned, "She probably found a particularly engaging shoe shop or something." Or snogged someone just to piss him off. The lengths to which Morgana would go to irritate him were unmentionable; Arthur wouldn't put it past her.

"Owain will need to learn to fly in a few weeks," Merlin replied, proving that he was that pet owner. Just be glad no one made owl hats. Or scarfs.

Dinah gave him a look, because Morgana wasn't just pretty clothes, but, yeah, he knew that. Whap-whappity, and after all this time the elbow and knee weren't a problem any more. "I climbed a skyscraper with Firekeeper," she said absently, stopping to twirl the sticks a second, then hit the bag again. "And explored with Emma and Kennedy. Did you get to see any of the city?"

[personal profile] bitchprince 2010-01-04 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes," Arthur said, patiently, "You know this because I told you so. That's not an excuse to get out of doing anything for a week just because you had to go and turn into a bird."

Thus proving that he was that boyfriend. Or just Arthur, really.

[personal profile] bitchprince 2010-01-04 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
"Some," Arthur said, squinting back at her. "You climbed one of those? I thought they were a bit up in arms about that." Yes, she was getting the how stupid are you look.

"I wouldn't stay one." That was implying he could manage it on his own, after all.

"Well, sure. But we went really early," Dinah said blithely. "And had Blind Seer stand guard so they couldn't grab us when we came back down." Which they had to, because yeah, there had been people waiting at the top.

Considering Tony, Priestly, and Jaime had all called her crazy, that look wasn't unexpected. "It was fun! And a challenge. Things are getting easier." And it had required every ounce of her concentration.

"You got stuck last time," Arthur pointed out. "I don't think you've gained an air of competence since."

[personal profile] bitchprince 2010-01-04 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
"Wait," Arthur said. Dubiously. "You put a wolf on guard duty. In the middle of New York."

"I didn't do it last time," Merlin countered. "I'm sure there's a spell somewhere..."

"What bird thing?" Dinah asked in curiosity, when she stopped to take a small break. "And how were your holidays here with a cranky prince?" Assuming he had been. Dinah did because 'boredom' and 'nothing to do' kinda spelled Cranky Arthur to her.

"A Royal Wolf. Yup." Dinah stopped to smirk a little. "And we didn't get caught, so I'd say that worked, didn't it?"

[identity profile] bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com 2010-01-04 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh! Hello, Dinah," Merlin replied. "I meant when I was a bird those--times."

And tried to walk places. He was an awesome bird.

"They were fun! I rather liked the fizzy wine."

"Dinah, there are so many things wrong with that I wouldn't even know where to start," he said, shaking his head. "Did your mother, by chance, drop you on your head as a child?"

"You're not tearing up my sheets again if you do," he said, "It's a terrible idea."

"You did pretty well as a merlin, Merlin." Dinah grinned back at him. "Although I thought you didn't like what you had to eat? The raw meat and all... And yeah, champagne is awesome. I skipped it so I wouldn't have a hangover, though." Places to wake up and climb the next morning!

"That was an accident." Most of the time. "And it might be useful, you know."

Because turning into a small bird that you sucked at flying as was so very helpful when in a tight corner.

"You got used to it after a while," Merlin replied. "Mostly I just missed the sweets..."

Oh, the sweets.
bitchprince: (...que?)

Arthur stared at him.

Then finally said, "Well, at least you're a bit less crap at hunting as a bird, but I don't think the difference is enough to go such lengths."

"Noooooo," Dinah said, pouting a little. "She did not." So not Carolyn's fault, as Barbara would tell her. She came pre-crazed. "But I can't have a motorcycle here, or bungee jump off the bridge. There has to be more to do-- although, Karla did get me magic wings for Christmas..."

Ahahah, that was going to be a blast.
