In a moment, he saw it all. The car speeding down the road, the puddle that came out of nowhere, the little old lady (who bore a striking resemblance to Duchess Rainsworth. Perhaps it was the walker she used?) standing on the curb.

In a frantic moment of OMG WHAT DO I DO, he ran! He dove! He…

Found himself drenched from head to foot in dirty street water. With a small wipe of his face to remove stray droplets of water, he smiled at the stunned lady and kissed her cheek, blushing all the while. He's being so forward! Liam can't get much more celebratory then that. He's Victorian.

"I'm glad you're safe, ma'am."

And with a press of his fingers against his glasses to keep them from slipping, he skipped continued on down the road. Even if he was still drenched.


((ooc: cursed, obviously! He'll be everywhere in the City today hunting down a new job. Who wants a personal assistant to kiss them?))

[ he stops mid rant and pouts. ] Be that as it may, it's still rude. [ he will never get used to this City. He's constantly on edge. ]

Depends on how you see it.

[ well, that wasn't at all what he expected ]

Uh... and how else would you view it?

[ please, oh wise one! Enlighten him. ]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

A friend of mine thinks the snogging is just nice.

[haring_to_go]

[ he chokes ]

It... it is nice, but shouldn't you at least ask first before... kissing?

[Video]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

Maybe, but perhaps curses just make that really difficult.

[Video]

[haring_to_go]

But that's my point!

[ gdi, curses need to stop being curses! ] If we weren't cursed all the time we might actually have the chance! [ yes, this is his logic. Because he'd be doing this anyway -- uh, no. No he wouldn't. ]

But if we weren't cursed, we wouldn't be having this discussion in the first place.

And I see no ill in this. It's the more civilized way to go.

[destinedtobeunpopular]

There is no ill in it. I'm just saying, curses are what creates this situation. So people deal with it differently.

[Video] oh sure. wait until I'm at work to start tagging me back!

[haring_to_go]

[ ... ]

Do you always take things so well? [ it's almost like looking at Oz, except Merlin actually thinks things through and has emotions.

... okay. So he's not really like Oz at all. The comparison still stands! ]

[Video] Shhh, it just turned out that way!

[destinedtobeunpopular]

[Thinks things through? Eh... Not really.]

I've had time to get used to things.

[haring_to_go]

[ Have you seen Elliot? Merlin's a paragon next to him. ] Oh, yes. Well... I suppose that is true. You have been here longer then I have now. [ what kind of world is this? They turned the tables on him! ]

[Video]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

[Well. Alright then.]

Oh. Yeah. I guess I have.

[Video]

[haring_to_go]

[ awkward silence?




awkward silence. ] Well... I should be going then. It may be a curse, but I would still prefer to avoid another encounter. Thank-you, Merlin. [ for reminding him that this is normal and he just has to deal with it. Life is hard for an invisible aide who is no longer quite so invisible. ]

[ Y e a h. ]

Right. No problem.
