[pratful]

[ Cue one Arthur wearing a hat and a red shirt with the ever famous pizza logo on the front. Also cue one Arthur holding a pizza box high above his head as the tail end of a glom shows on the screen, his phone having been knocked out of his pocket to fall on the ground and start the feed. ]

Yes. Yes I know you’re starving. Now will you please let me go?

[ this was one awful day to start a new job and of all of them, did it have to be a pizza delivery man? Never again, would he take the advice of a friend. It was most certainly not worth the humiliation. ]

((ooc: Feel free to order a pizza and have Arthur delivery it! He certainly needs a few more reasons to quit this job before the end of the day, pft. ))

[Guess who is ordering a pizza?

Why, Merlin of course. He couldn't possibly resist that, could he?]

[Action]

[pratful]

[ ... of course Merlin had to order one. Of course. ]

[ he knocks ] Pizza for one about to be dead servant! [ because Merlin will die for this. Later. Maybe. It depends on if he pays up or not. ]

[Action]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

[Of course!

When he opens the door, he greets Arthur with a hearty laughter.]

Funny how timing works, isn't it?

[But, gee, of course he'll pay, what do you think of him?]

[Action]

[pratful]

Yes, funny indeed. [ he's starting to get the impression Merlin may have been waiting just inside the door for him. ]

I'd like to see your money first, if you don't mind.

[ nope, doesn't trust Merlin in the least. ]

[Action]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

[Maybe, but only for the last couple of minutes.]

You don't trust me?

[He can't wipe the grin off his face to try looking hurt or anything, so he just fishes those out of his pocket and holds them out for Arthur.]

[Action]

[pratful]

[ Arthur takes a brief glance at the coins before turning back to Merlin ] All right. One pizza with all the trimmings and whatever Jalapenos are. Are you sure you want this pizza?

[ It sounds positively horrid. And he'll leave off the trust question. How can he say, "Yes, but not today."? Although, in truth, he's surprised Merlin hasn't attacked him yet. ]

[Action]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

Completely sure.

[Know what, Arthur? Right now, Merlin's kind of itching to hug you, but.]

[Action]

[pratful]

[ but nothing. It's not as though Arthur is doing the two bit shuffle to keep himself from returning that itch. It's just... awkward.

With a box.

In between them and a hug. ]

Right. Well... just take your pizza and go, will you? [ damn, missed opportunity. ]

[Action]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

[Oh, but he's interested in seeing if Arthur's affected.]

Right.

[So, he takes that pizza and... puts it away, still facing Arthur, and grinning.]

How do you like the job?

[Like he really actually needs to ask.]

............

[With effort, holding his tongue on this matter.]

[pratful]

[ after one last bear hug, Artur straightens his shirt and stares down at the screen. Him again. Rolling his eyes, Arthur speaks. ]

Not one word, Solomon. Not one word.

[favoritetraitor]

Might I ask just what it is that you're doing besides being an embarrassment to my Master?

Video

[pratful]

Working, what else? [ he refuses to show the very real distaste he has for the job in front of his man. Refuses. no, it's okay. he feels the same way except it's an embarrassment for Arthur's own, true born position. A prince, delivering pizza! Oh how far Arthur has sunk... ]

[primrosella]

...Oh, dear, they're not leaving you alone, either?

[pratful]

[ Arthur pauses, hand reaching for the device before he surreptitiously tugs on his shirt. Can't be too careful with a Lady standing before him. ]

No, unfortunately. Don't these people have any pride? [ the question he asks himself daily. And more often even then that. ]

[primrosella]

Well, I suppose most of them can't help it, really. It seems to be going around amongst everyone today.

[She shrugs a little, long since used to this sort of thing by now.]

[pratful]

One day, I would dearly love to have a little bit of warning before these curses make the rounds. They have no sense of propriety.

[hexuality]

Well.

[Pause.]

Red's your colour, at least.

[pratful]

It's a bit scratchy though. [ although that could be the pizza crumbs getting to him. One too many boxes knocked out of his hand in favor of the hug today. It's a good thing Arthur didn't have to pay for those! ]

[hexuality]

I'm sorry it isn't the City's finest silk.

[pratful]

You and me both. Perhaps if I petitioned them for a better wardrobe... [ he can settle for linen or wool. Either is far more practical then silk too. ]

[hexuality]

I wasn't serious. It's a uniform, they aren't meant to be comfortable.

[Pointedly,]

Believe me, I lived in one for years back home.

[livingmyths]

I want a hug! Do I need to order a pizza to get one?

[pratful]

Oh, um...

[ a w k w a r d ]

I am working at the moment, sorry. Can't you get Merlin to give you a hug? [ yeah, he saw Merlin's little post. After he got hit by Merlin himself. ]

[livingmyths]

Oh...

[sad]

I've been hugging lots of people. I just kind of thought - well, never mind. You just go ahead with your work.
