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

[bitchprince]

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.

"It doesn't make it untrue," Mat replied. "How have you been?"

"Well enough," she answered. Mat didn't need to hear about the three letters she'd received (and not opened) from Cor this week. "Anything thrilling your life, my dear?"

And Aravis didn't need to know about his two dates this week. "Nothing worth mentioning," he said lightly. "I went riding."

"As did I. In fact, I'm a touch sore," Aravis replied poutily, because she was just awash with terrible ideas tonight.

Mat's eyebrows cocked up. "Really? I'm excellent at fixing sore muscles."

Aravis gave him a wholly innocent look from under her eyelashes. "Really? I should warn you, I was riding like a man yesterday. So it's mostly the insides of my thighs that ache."

Oh, Aravis.

Mat's smile widened. "I'm good down there too."

As Aravis knew.

"I remember. Would you care to stop by tonight, then? After the party?" she asked, smiling.

"I think that can be arranged," Mat said, grinning back.
