18th Spell ~ [Accidental video]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

[ The device has been discarded on a table, but it gives a rather decent view of the living room and Merlin moving about picking up glasses that have been left out. When he's about to exit the room, though, he trips on the treshold and yelps as he flails not to drop the glasses. But one ends up falling to the floor anyway and breaks into pieces.

He curses, and mutters somewhat under his breath: ]

Again? Glad I'm not cursed today - that's the last thing I need.

[ With a sharp exhale, he squats down to pick up the bigger pieces.

He's glad it's a curse day, though. It means it shouldn't be one tomorrow, and that's just perfect. At least they're getting that.

Once he's picked up the pieces, he disappears for a while, and eventually comes back into the screen with a vacuum. Once he's cleaned up the rest of the broken glass, he runs his hand over his hair and leans into the doorway to look around the living room. And smirks, as he straightens up and turns away to amusingly call out (into the kitchen, but you can't tell that from the recording). ]

Are you really sure you'll be able to keep the house cleaned while we're gone, Arthur?!

[ The feed cuts out. ]

[Any slight embarrassment is deterred when he offers to how her. Learning new things (or old things? How would she know if she ever learned them before?) makes her feel better, somehow.]

Okay! I learn better. [She puffs up, all determined. You just watch how good she learns to wipe tables!]

[ He sends her a smile over his shoulder, and grabs a cloth, a bucket and detergent. ]

You fill this bucket with hot water, but not too hot so you burn yourself. Then you pour a little bit of this in.

[ He waves the detergent in the air a bit, and demonstrates before he puts the bucket down on the floor and dips the cloth in it. ]

And then you wipe tables or window sills or similar places like this.

[ After swiping the cloth over the edge of the table, he hands it to Saya. ]

action

[sangreine]

[She stares raptly at Merlin as he demonstrates, and when he's done a light bulb seems to go on.] Ah! Water, pour bottle, then wipe. [A firm nod, and she takes the bucket to do just that.]

I help make house clean for Charlie -- repay her. [She pauses, brow furrowing.] Repay? [Is that the word?]

action

[destinedtobeunpopular]

Yeah. Repay. You can tell her you were very helpful. If you're wondering anything else, I'll be in the kitchen.

[Saya nods and makes with the cleaning. She's extremely careful, if unpracticed, so thank goodness nothing breaks.]

[Charlie has such nice people living with her. Saya wonders if she's a little out of place in such a house. But all she can do is her best...]

[She'll have to thank Merlin later on.]
