2nd Spell ~ [Voice | Filtered from Arthur Pendragon]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

[So. Arthur's appearance means that he needs to throw this together in a bit of a rush, while going to get the bloody prat. Thus, it's better to make it voice because then at least no one will notice his nervous fumbling.]

I really hope I'm doing this right.

Okay, uhm. The... blond man who just appeared naming what he's got on him, and muttering about a lake and heading west, he's, uhm... I'm Merlin, and he's Arthur Pendragon, and I think some of you at least know who that is. Who.. we are. He's from my world, but the thing here is...

I'm sure most everyone here now knows of my... abilities, but Arthur doesn't because, uh.. it's banned, back home, and he's the Prince, so that would be troublesome.

I don't know if this is quick enough - I should have thought of it before - but just. Please try not to let things slip about it, to him?

[A pause, and his voice goes just slightly quieter, as if he's muttering to himself more, now, than talking to the device.]

I... might want to consider telling him, huh? It's not like it's going to get me executed here.

[And then he raises his voice again.]

But in that case, I'd rather be the one to do that, so... yeah. Don't let him know.

((OOC: Action too if anyone would like to catch him on the streets while he's doing this, but he'll be in a bit of a hurry and very distracted so that thread wouldn't last long. And any other responses will come later, in some hours-ish I guess?))

[Sort of video, at least. It's partly obscured by books.] Secret's safe with me, Merlin.

Thank you.

[He seems to have calmed down a little, now, though he's definitely a little skittish.]

God, what if he'd have arrived yesterday, huh?

[He doesn't even want to think about that one.]

[She moves the books and cringes at the thought, putting her pen down. She'd been taking notes and just writing in general.] I don't think that would have gone over well. And then I'd have to yell at royalty for being awful to a friend of mine. Thereby creating more badness.

[The last bit? Mostly a joke, though she really would have yelled at Arthur.]

[He chuckles at that, at least.]

Thanks.

I'd like to think it would have been fine in the end, but I just... I don't know.

If you ever want someone around to mediate when you tell him, find me. Okay?

[shall_yield_us]

...John-darling, to summarize and epitomize and possibly scandalize: you realize you've only just handily produced blackmail material for the masses Citywide? Yes? You... at least... realize that startlingly, breathtakingly piece of idiocy?

[valentineluke]

Best of luck to you in keeping that secret in this magic riddled world.

[When. Not if. When.

He's not so sure about that idea, because he would probably like to do that all on his own, but:]

Thanks. I appreciate it.

[He really does.]

[wandbreaker]

Of course, I'll make sure to tell him in a grand and fashionable way.

[Pause]

Of course I won't, though. Are you bringing him home?

[destinedtobeunpopular]

[...

That is a point.]

So be it, then. I think I'll take the blackmailing.

[destinedtobeunpopular]

...

Yeah, thanks. It's sounding rather impossible, isn't it?

I really should tell him.

[destinedtobeunpopular]

[Ohey, Edmund, you get a response right away, and not in a few hours.]

Oh, yeah, I was actually going to go ask you about that. That's fine, right?

[wandbreaker]

Yes, of course, I mean there must be some corner of our humble home we can squirrel him away in.

[There's an entire extra house for Arthur, if he wants.]

[shall_yield_us]

Of course you will. You can hardly refuse it now, now can you?

[destinedtobeunpopular]

Somewhere, somehow...

[He gives a quiet chuckle.]

[wandbreaker]

Has he got a horse with him?

[destinedtobeunpopular]

--well, no, but I wouldn't have cared even if I had--

[Thought about it. Ahem.]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

Not as far as I could see. Why?

[wandbreaker]

Just a question. We have stables, and space, if he had.

[shall_yield_us]

...yes?

[destinedtobeunpopular]

Ah, right.

[destinedtobeunpopular]

Not important.

[shall_yield_us]

Nonsense, John, I've asked.

[destinedtobeunpopular]

Indeed.

[Not going to say, anyway.]

[shall_yield_us]

...you're no fun, John. We might have to change once more, to something more accommodatingly... drab. Like Ernest.
