Sixth Floor, Thursday Evening -- Merlin's Birthday Party

If Arthur had still been back at Camelot, the idea of holding celebrations for a servant's birthday would have seemed preposterous. But he wasn't, and it didn't, and if he were really honest with himself he'd admit he enjoyed it (or at least in as much as it involved picking out presents that made him fret some on the inside and yelling at people about getting decorations in).

The Sixth Floor was decorated rather decadently for a birthday party. There were some CDs of painfully carefully selected songs playing through the system - the ones Arthur had judged least likely to shatter eardrums (and maybe tending towards the classical and medieval).

And there was food. Courtesy of Francine.

Arthur didn't like half-measures much.

"Mat," Arthur greeted, lifting his (as of right now) unalcoholic drink. "I didn't know you knew Merlin."

"I was here for the ballpit," Mat said with a quick grin, "but I've seen him around."

"You're at a party," Arthur informed him, "Make sure there's some kind of present. And try the wine. It's good."

"Presents I can do," Mat assured him, "and I excel at drinking wine. It's one of my many talents."

"I'm incredibly relieved to learn that won't be a worry," Arthur said, dryly. "But do enjoy yourself."

"You too," Mat replied. "You do know how to have fun at a party, right?"

"I've heard of the practice."

His tone wasn't gaining any moisture any time soon. "But if you're trying to ask me for a dance, I'd suggest you find a woman instead. If you can."

"If I can," Mat repeated with a snort. "I had two dates this week. I'm hardly the one who needs to worry about being left on the side of the dance floor looking like a lordling with no friends."

"And pity the poor fool who does," Arthur said, amicably. "Neither of us are doing too poorly for ourselves."

"So I'll have the misfortune of watching you trod on some poor girl's feet tonight?" Mat teased.
bitchprince: (and where did you come up with that one?)

"Not remotely," Arthur said, "I have other engagements."

"Being the host shouldn't take up that much time," Mat decided.

[personal profile] bitchprince 2010-01-21 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
"I never said the other engagements involved being the host."

"It's because you can't dance, isn't it," Mat said, looking elaborately sympathetic.

"Oh, I can dance quite well."

Not a lie, even.

"Then what will be occupying your time?" Mat inquired.

"Talking to some people," Arthur said, then cast him another glance. "Really, if you're that desperate for people to dance with you..."

Re: Arrive & Mingle

"I am not so desperate that I'd need to dance with you," Mat said, reaching out to poke Arthur in the arm. "Ever. You'd look ridiculous in skirts."

Re: Arrive & Mingle

[personal profile] bitchprince 2010-01-21 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"I would never wear skirts," Arthur said, rolling his eyes, "But you'll have to fatten up your hips a bit if you aspire to wear some."

"Why would I have to be the bloody woman?" Mat demanded.

"Because you are a bloody woman," Arthur said, without a care in the world. "Now shoo. Your hairbrush awaits."

Re: Arrive & Mingle

"You'll pay for that later," Mat promised.

"I'm sure," Arthur said. Sincerely.

Really.
