TWENTY FOUR ✖ VOICE/TEXT

[wedonot]

[Private to Erik]

Have you spoken with her? [YOU KNOW WHO HE MEANS, man he is really excited but also really worried you've already been an ass to her because. You're you. No offense.

Although really he can forgive you for being a little >C about someone you've been told is going to maybe kill him someday, so.]

[Private to Arthur]

Would you mind coming up to the CES with me? [Someone wants to talk about the whole Morgana murdering a certain person thing. :V]

[Private to Merlin]

How are you feeling?

Private

[takeyouapart]

[Voice! He sounds less scratchy and gross now yaaay.]

Better, thank you. I'll be out of bed tomorrow.

[Possibly against medical advice, shhh McCoy.]

Private

[wedonot]

[Somewhere in the infirmary, McCoy's 'someone is planning on escaping' senses are tingling.]

That's good. I can imagine staring at the same four walls must be getting into the tiresome stage, at this point.

Private

[takeyouapart]

[That's a terrible superpower :c]

I've just been sleeping a lot, but I'm ready to be up again now. Lying here just feels so...lazy.

Private

[wedonot]

[He's the hero the infirmary needs him to be. B| ]

I understand. Sitting in a hospital bed isn't exactly the best place to feel as if you're making good use of your time. How's Reaver been?

Private

[takeyouapart]

The same.

...mostly. He actually had a bit of a go at Morgana for killing me, it turns out. [Archive reading yaay.] I was...surprised.

Private

[wedonot]

Nice of him. [Basically, Charles is too. :V] Have you heard anymore what's happening with her?

Private

[takeyouapart]

Mozenrath took her to Zero. He told me he was going to take her magic, but...I asked him not to. I can only hope he doesn't do that to her.

Private

[wedonot]

Agreed. [Because that would just. Be bad. :c] I'm glad you see it that way.

Private

[takeyouapart]

I worry sometimes that he doesn't understand. I don't know that magic has ever been treated in his world like it is in ours - he has her file, he can read, but that's the same. But he said he'd think about what I said to him.

Private

[wedonot]

[... Guess who's tempted to talk to him about it BUT CONSIDERING HOW WELL THEY'VE GOTTEN ALONG SO FAR + people's reactions when he told them why Erik needed his powers back, he's not really optimistic about it going well and that might be taking meddling too far even for him.]

How is magic treated in his world? I'm afraid we haven't spoken often.

Private

[takeyouapart]

[Yeah he doesn't do well with feeling ganged up on. :c]

We haven't either. He just...

I know he has magic. And if sorcery in his world was treated how it is in Camelot, he wouldn't take it from her so easily. He couldn't.

Private

[wedonot]

[He just has a lot of feelings, okay. :c]

Well, let's hope he's smarter than that. I know you would have explained it well to him.

[And after a short moment of hesitation:] One of my future students is here.

Private

[takeyouapart]

Jean, yeah? I've talked to her a bit, she's nice.

Private

[onceandfutureprat]

Isn't there some other place you'd rather visit? [He only minds because of the CES part. That place weirds him out :c]

Private

[wedonot]

I'm open to suggestions.

Re: Private

[onceandfutureprat]

I'm sure if you just want to talk, one of our rooms will be fine.

Private

[wedonot]

Do you mind if I come by?

Private

[onceandfutureprat]

I'll be here.

Spam

[wedonot]

[And a short while later, Charles is knocking on your door, Arthur.]

Spam

[onceandfutureprat]

[Arthur has a pretty good idea what Charles is calling on him for given what's happened lately. So he braces himself for the questions about his feelings and goes to open the door for him.]

"Hello Charles."

Spam

[wedonot]

[God forbid your friends want to make sure you're doing alright, Arthur.]

"Hello. I suppose there's no use beating around the bush, so, how are you doing?"

Spam

[onceandfutureprat]

[Talking about feelings is extremely uncomfortable for him. You don't get feelings as king, you get a crown and people to protect.]

"I'm fine."

Spam

[wedonot]

[Yeah, he wasn't buying it, and yeah, he was a massive hypocrite because he didn't like talking about feelings either, but. He's a hypocrite.]

"Has Morgana tried to contact you?"

Spam

[onceandfutureprat]

"We don't really sit around and chat, Charles."

Spam

[wedonot]

"That wasn't what I was anticipating happening." [Come on, Arthur.] "But I suppose that's good news. Merlin sounds like he's doing well."
