11th spell ~ [Video]

[Merlin's in the kitchen! At home, for once; he's not there so often lately, it seems. Especially in the evenings, so he thinks he'll stay home this once.

He's placed the phone on the counter, and he's looking very excited about something (and you may note his hair is getting rather long).]

Listen up, City!

[And it's a very important thing, okay.]

Do you know how amazing you've got it here? I mean... In Camelot, you couldn't just open a door to store things that need cold.

[He gestures wildly at the fridge.]

The best you could get were cellars, but even then you had to make most things on the spot. Do you have any idea how long cooking could take? And don't get me started on hunting! And these...

[Briefly, he digs around in his pocket and whips out a tiny package of pepper.]

These are genius. Travel packages already prepared! I wish we had this sort of luxury!

[He just often thinks of how comfortable the City is sometimes, okay.]

[NO, NO. NOT AT ALL. YOU FLAWLESS CREATURE, YOU!!]

Um. Do you... maybe... have uh, you know. A name. [Bristling with anticipation!]

[OKAY GOOD though really he's not flawless.

Have a bit of a bashful smile. Oh, he can see what this is getting at.]

Merlin.

[Somewhat loudly clears her throat, which rolls off into awkward laughter. It's meant to cover up her stupid fangirlishness. It doesn't succeed.]

It's great to meet you! I mean, really great! To talk. To you-you. Zatanna. That's me. Who I am. My name. [So eloquent she can't handle it.]

[It's okay, he can relate to such moments. Very well. He just goes "uhm" and "uh" a lot rather than mess up the order of the words, but it's awkward all the same.

He's amused, and he chuckles, but it's soft and not mocking or anything at all.]

You too.

[She doesn't too frequently. Not unless she's blabbing on and on. Or meeting a ~hero~ from her childhood. Like, oh... Merlin?]

I think my heart just exploded.

Oh, I hope not, that doesn't sound too pleasant.

No, it's fine. [Probably.] I hope you don't find me too forward, but I'd very much like to buy you a drink or ten sometime.

[Snorting laughter.]

That's fine by me. Would you like me to bring Arthur along?

I like you better. But I wouldn't say "no," to his presence.

I'll bring him along just so you can say that directly to him. He would make brilliant faces.

I don't have a problem doing that. Promise.

Great! Just give me a call.

I... don't have your number. [HOLY CRAP, SHE'S GOING TO HAVE MERLIN'S NUMBER. BE STILL, BEATING HEART.]

Oh! Yeah, of course!

[Ahem. Insert number here.]

Is this... really your number? You aren't just messing with me?

[He huffs out some form of laughter.]

Why would I do that?

I don't know! It's just... a thing that I thought up! Like, a second and a half ago!

Well, you can ignore it, because I'm not messing with you. You seem like a smart one, so you'll know when I am.

Done and done.

You just, uh, make me nervous, that's all. I'm not used to being nervous.

Don't be. I'm really no one. Maybe there's supposed to be some big deal about my magic, but that's it.

Even if it's... something you become some day, I'm still honored to meet you.

And I apologize if I'm making you uncomfortable or, you know. Putting any more weight on your shoulders. I know what that's like.

It's alright, I'm used to it.

[A pause.]

But I'm sorry you do.

It's alright, I'm used to it.

[That gets a laugh.]

Right. Of course.

Should I ask?

Just the life of a magician, that's all.
