17th Spell ~ [Memory Theatre]

[ Merlin catches this shortly afterwards, so have it followed by a voluntary recording. ]

Right.

Thanks, City.

[ A pause. ]

Well, Charlie... That was Freya. Obviously. I guess I've... been thinking about her a little...

[ Another pause, and then he clears his throat. Maybe that wasn't something he should be saying. He's had a lot on his mind, really, Freya was only a small piece of the puzzle. ]

Doesn't matter. Anyway, uhm... Charlie. Call me?

[And here we have one Charlie McGee, out with Phantom for a walk. She has to head to work soon after and will probably be taking the animal with her. And she doesn't look bothered by the video. She found it sad and endearing and showed her everything she loved about Merlin. His loyalty, his caring nature.]

She's lovely.

Yeah.

[ He has the softest, fondest smile on his face, but it's definitely a little sad too. ]

She was.

What happened? [And a slight headtilt from her. She doesn't want him to be sad and he already looks it.] Unless you don't want to answer that right now.

[ A pause. ]

Right, I haven't told you yet.

[ It's been a while now, so he's fine with talking about it. Even if it still hurts. ]

She died.

Oh. [Not...what she wanted to hear.] Sweetheart, I'm sorry to hear that.

[ His life is filled with loved ones dying, best get used to it. ]

It's all right. It's been two years.

Still. That's the kind of hurt that stays around for a while.

[So is hers. It's been so for years.]

How about dinner, just the two of us. Some...nice set up in the living room and you can tell me all about Freya. I want to hear about her. If you're willing to tell me, I mean.

[ Yes. It does. But he is fine. ]

Of course I am. Dinner sounds great.

Anything new you want to try? Or did you want to meet me at the grocery and we'll see what catches our eye?

We can go see.

[ Going grocery shopping with Charlie sounds like a really good idea, honestly. ]

[Hope he doesn't mind helping her cook, either, because that sounds like fun to her.]

Good. See you at the store in a couple hours, okay?

[And there's that smirk, that one that says she has a secret. She's having a hard time keeping that idiotic smirk off her face lately.]

[ No, of course he doesn't. ]

Yeah.

[Them cooking together is probably the most grossly adorable thing. Meanwhile, Charlie just grins at Merlin, waves slightly and switches the feed off.

At the grocery, she's waiting on a bench, chin in one hand and a notebook on her knee. It's likely she's written down several ideas for dinner tonight and scratched out a few more as she waited. And she probably does this often when she has free time. She's still quite blonde, thanks to switching with Rapunzel but she doesn't seem to mind that at all.]
