♣ 005 || Voice|Action | Just a little shopping spree

[ the ring of a cash register sounds as Liam's voice comes over the speaker phone. ]

Thank-you, but I'll just carry that out with me. Ah, but that second one you can wrap up! It's a gift for a... [ can he even count Elliot as a friend? ] an acquaintance. I failed to help him as promised so while this won't make up for it, I do rather hope...

[ a low laugh echoes in the speaker as the shop lady does as asked ] It's often the thought that counts. I do so hope your acquaintance enjoys the handkerchief. Please come again, sir.

[ Liam deprecates ] Yes, I do so hope he does. Until another time then.

[ another pause and then the tinkle of a bell echoes as he exists the shop. Anyone wishing to catch him will find him strolling through the city, a brown paper parcel under his arm and a cup of tea in his hand. Ever since he discovered it's portability, he's never been with it. ]

Likewise. Maybe we'll run into each other.

I would not be opposed to the acquaintance, if it were to fall to that. But, until then, have a good day Sir.

[ There will be enough time to respond, should Merlin wish, but otherwise, with a pleasant smile, Liam will end the call, just a little more at ease with the day. What a charming young man... ]

[Then he'll sneak in a quick, and sort of awkward:]

Ah, really, just call me Merlin--

[ opps, cut off, but alas, dear Merlin. You're firmly fixed in his mind as Sir even if he'll do better then make such a slip again. In the short time of their discussion, you have earned (1) Liam's respect. ]
