19th Spell ~ [Video]

[ Finally, Merlin addresses the network after coming back to the City. Those who knew him before might notice that he's gotten a bit older and, if you're perceptive, that there's definitely some added weariness to his eyes. But it's not quite that noticeable, either. ]

The City's the same as always, I see. But I guess a week doesn't really change that much.

Dancing's at least a pretty nice curse.

I don't know how many of you knew I was gone, but I'm back now. Have been for a while, actually. Who's still here and how are you doing?

Oh, and apparently Christmas coming up soon? We don't celebrate that back home so... I'm a bit curious what it's like. But I'll find out, won't I?

[ A pause, followed by a cheeky grin. ]

Maybe I should be worried about it? This is the City.

Because I'm not either and I like the idea of dancing with my husband because I chose to. Not because a curse told me to.

I'll dance with you any day, curse or not.

Save one for me. I'll be home in a couple hours.

Okay. See you then.

[Charlie's home a little later than expected. It's hard walking home when people just want to dance. She's amused by the day, though, thanking God that this curse was a mild one.

The animals get to the door before she opens it, barking and yipping and making all manner of sounds.

Which means Charlie can't actually open the door fully without risking one or all of them running out the door. So she peeks in, eying the pets and laughing slightly at their antics.]

Phantom, go get Petrichor! Get him!

[That takes care of two of them, the aforementioned animals running into another part of the house to goof off. The puppy gets picked up and Charlie's finally able to get into the house all the way.] Yikes. What a greeting.

[ Having so many animals is a good way to know that someone's come home. So Merlin very soon steps into the hall with a smile - doesn't mention he almost tripped over Phantom and Petrichor, ahem - and greets her with a quick kiss once he reaches her. ]

Same as always.

Hey.

[There's the man she wanted to see. She grins the second she knows he's near, turning towards him and kissing him in return.]

Wouldn't change it for the world. Hello, Merlin. How was your day?

It was good. I ended up dancing with Ryan. That was... special.

[ He sounds very amused about it. ]

Did you? He's pretty light on his feet. [She danced with him, too.] And Rapunzel. She's fun to dance with.

[Full of spinning and laughing and narrowly missing getting tangled in her hair. ]

I think we owe each other a curse-free dance. I've been looking forward to that for the past few hours.

Wouldn't expect that of him.

[ He reaches out to take Gwaine from Charlie and tucks the puppy against himself with one arm as he reaches for Charlie's hand. ]

Shall we?

[Charlie's hand slips into his, a soft smile on her face. It's little things like this that make her feel like the most important person in the world. Gwaine looks from Charlie to Merlin, wiggling and trying to snuggle against them both. Typical of the dog. Charlie loves it.

Her arm goes around her husbands waist.]

We need to do this more often. Just because.

[ Good, because she pretty much is the most important person in the world to Merlin. Definitely one of the most important. ]

I won't say no to that.

[And he's the most important person in the world to her. So this works. She's enjoying the dancing, stepping just a tiny bit closer and resting her head on his shoulder. Gwaine seems to approve of this change, squirming some and trying to climb onto Charlie's shoulder and then Merlins and then Charlie's again before settling.

Charlie' grins, straightening and watching the dog.]

I think he approves, too.

[ He chuckles quietly. ]

Of course he does.

[ Once Gwaine grows they'll have to make sure it doesn't become a habit. But, for now, he'll let it be. ]
