9th spell ~ [Voice | Sometime in the morning]

[You only get Merlin's voice today, City. And it's not a very happy one. Distressed, more like, and shaky.

He considered text, but something about that just didn't feel right.]

They're not real, are they? I mean...

[Clearing his throat a little, he tries to get something more understandable across.]

Is anyone else seeing their father? This seems to be another staying-inside day, I don't think I feel up for much.

[Filtered to Arthur]

Arthur, would you-- Uhm... Can we talk? It's... It's sort of another secret, so it's your choice, but... I would like to. I think.

[Filtered to Charlie]

Can we do that... blanket fort thing? I can come over to you later, if it works for you. There's just... something I need to do first.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Yeah. Absolutely. Come by whenever. I have off today. I'll...make us something to eat.

Okay. Thanks.

I'll see you later.

[And he's just going to need a big, long hug then.]

See you then. [He'll get the longest hug he can handle. Meanwhile, she'll take this time to run a few errands for Blanket Fort supplies and food. She'll be seated in the middle of her living room, couches moved out of the way and kitchen chairs brought in as she unpacks a string of garden lights. She goes all out for these things, see.]

[Merlin invites himself in without knocking, because he practically never knocks and she does know he's coming. He can't really say he expects the garden lights, so he pauses in the doorway to the living room when he sees them.]

...you really are passionate about, uh... blanket forting.

[ Arthur wasn't sure how to react to that. Merlin's "secrets" weren't exactly kind to his stomach. ]

I don't know... It's not another thing about magic is it? [ but the answer is yes, of course. He's there for you, Merlin, even if Arthur still won't admit to the why. ]

[That actually gets a bit of a laugh.]

Not exactly. Just... sort of.

Where are you?

[He tried going out but he's giving up on that idea and on his way home. So.]

[ Whew. And here Arthur had been worried.

... Okay. Never mind. Arthur is definitely worried now. He has yet to truly believe that not all magic is inherently evil. Just look at Merlin! He's been hiding his true self for years! ]

In the back, with the dummies. [ There's a distinct thud as Arthur throws another axe at a target. He's been slacking the last few days, what with work. He has to make up for lost time somehow. ]

I am not, I'm sorry.

[Yes, Anna she just apologized for not sharing your pain...]

That's fine. It's fine. I'm...

[He clears his throat again.]

How are you doing?

I am alright. I have kept busy, there is more than enough work at the bar and the welcome center.

[Very, very strained.]

Not real, utterly f--[Peter considers not swearing in front of Wizard Jesus.]--fucking awful anyway.

[Eh, swear away, he doesn't care.]

Bad luck with your father too?

He's a right bastard, if that's what you mean. I tried hexing him a few times, but it didn't anything.

[Someone is maybe just a tad frustrated. Also, someone may have tried a killing curse, but someone is not bringing that up.]

This city is awful.

[voice]

destinedtobeunpopular - 2012-06-20 09:29 (UTC) - Expand

[Softly,]

No. They aren't. But it's nice, anyway—at least for me. I'm sorry if it's an awful curse for you, Merlin.

It's not that I'm not happy to see him. It's just that I didn't expect to, so it sort of... hit me a little harder than I would've liked.

[He manages something of a laugh.]

Take it your father isn't dead, then?

[ ...oh.]

No, he isn't. And it's been nearly two years since I last saw him—with this curse, actually, so... I'm sorry, though. About your dad.

Merlin? Anything I can do to help?

I've got it covered. But thank you.

Okay.

These kind of curses can be rough.

I'm around if I can do anything.

...Had a nasty father, did we?

No. Not at all. He was great. But he died.

[It's no secret, so he might be all unsure about Karl but he might as well know.]

Then is it so bad?

Seeing him again?

Fearing your guests now?

It's not fear.

Guests?

Paranoia, terror, anxiety, cowardice - your choice.

I'd thought your lord father had come to pay your mind, Johnny-John-John.
