Characters: Arthur and you
Format: Action
This log is: open
Location: Forest
Summary: Just waking up from his coma-nap, Arthur decides that he needs some exercise. He also realizes he is an owned weapon, this must be Merlin's fault.
Warnings: general prattiness

[Arthur woke up from his coma not long ago, if Gaius were here he'd probably be ordered to have a bit more bed rest, but he's feeling antsy. He gets out of bed and heads over to the woods. By the state of his body he can tell that he's been out for a while and Arthur is not one to let himself get out of shape, no matter how often Merlin calls him fat.]

[It takes him a while to get back into his room and find his sword. He wonders how much time has gone by but doesn't let the thought trouble him for too long. Arthur picks up his sword and heads to the woods, nodding at those he passes. He probably should be teaching a class but he can't be bothered at the moment.]

Yes, I think this will do.

[He begins his stretching, his sword resting against a nearby tree.]

Comments

[secretlyuseful]

[Guess who is watching him from the trees. Yup it is his servant who still doesn't know their names.] So you decided to wake up? [Because he hasn't been hovering round Conquest's gates begging news off people or anything. Not at all.]

[unflinchable]

[Merlin may be watching from the trees but Arthur knows that he's there. Merlin is not very discreet. Because of that, Arthur isn't startled in the slightest when Merlin chooses to make their presence known.]

Merlin, I see you've survived without me, a small miracle really. How long have I been out?

[And know that he will find out that Merlin has been begging for information about him and call him a girl. Out of friendship.]

[secretlyuseful]

A few days. [Ignoring that first part because Merlin was perfectly capable of staying alive without Arthur... The other way round though...]

You missed all the important stuff of course.

[unflinchable]

[Rude, Arthur survived for twenty years before he met Merlin and all Merlin has done has made his life difficult and his chambers messier. And probably got them trapped here. It's definitely Merlin's fault.]

Well then, get on with it, tell me about these important things.

[secretlyuseful]

[How he survived Merlin doesn't know because he hasn't been doing any kind of decent job of it since.] You know round change, your lucky I found us a Player, so you wont have to eat that food they try and push on discards. I know you can't cope with anything less than a feast every night.

[See caring for you. All the time Arthur.]

[unflinchable]

Is this Player any good or did you go chasing after the first person you saw?

[squint]

Are you insinuating that I've gotten fat?

[secretlyuseful]

Never, I would never insinuate anything like that. And it is Komachi, you know Komachi right?

[unflinchable]

[No, he does not know Komachi. Or maybe he does. Why bothering learning their names, Merlin doesn't even know his own name.]

Don't pretend you're not the most insolent servant I've ever had.

[quirks an eyebrow at him]

Who?

[secretlyuseful]

Komachi. My friend. [He does have friends who are not you you know. Not that they are friends which makes it even more important that he has other friends.

This ones not an evil sorceress either.

Progress.]

[allurprincess]

Arthur? [ Sora's thought process was startlingly similar to his, albeit she lacks a sword when she turns up. Who knows where she actually appears from, she just heard him... warming up... or something. She's only been out of her own coma for a few hours. ]

Good morning!

[unflinchable]

[Oh it's the small girl with super senses who thinks that she's a knight.]

Good morning, Sora. What brings you out here?

[allurprincess]

I was going to train. [ she looks around, and eventually points further into the forest ] There's a clearing over there... but someone planted flowers in it while I was asleep.

[ oh wait ] We should train together!

[unflinchable]

[he scoffs a bit, who would think to plant flowers in a perfectly good clearing. Didn't they know they needed clearings to train. Unless that was the plan all along, ruin training, damn they're clever.]

Train together?

[he considers it, if it's just training then he's not obligated to knock her out, and of course by now he's learned that females can often hold their own, although he'd never tell Morgana that]

Why not, but you should stretch first.

[allurprincess]

[ she obeys readily enough, shedding her school waistcoat and running through her basic gym-class stretches. ]

[unflinchable]

[Sora.]

[No.]

[Sora.]

[Stop.]

Stop. What are you doing?

[allurprincess]

[ :D........ ] Stretching.

[unflinchable]

No. You're not.

[shakes. head.]

Who ever taught you that should be shot.

[ferriedmemories]

[As if he was the only one not teaching today. Leaning against a nearby tree is...]

Well, if it didn't, would I be here?

[unflinchable]

[he turns around, he's not startled but he is a bit ashamed that he didn't hear her arriving]

Excuse me?

[ferriedmemories]

[To be fair, she was here first.]

You're trying to get away from it all for a bit, right? There aren't a whole lot of other reasons to be all the way out here.

[unflinchable]

Or maybe I just came out here to train, I can't relax just because I am not in my kingdom.

[ferriedmemories]

And what would stop you from relaxing there? If it's your kingdom, no one should mind if you take a day off every now and then!

[unflinchable]

You can't just take a day off when you're king, there are always things to do, things that need your attention, knights to train...

[ferriedmemories]

Hey, wait a minute, a king... You're linked to someone, right? I think I might be your Player.

[Touhous, masters of the abrupt subject change.]

[unflinchable]

You're Merlin's friend? Of course you are. Why am I even surprised.
