84 Swords in the Stone

[excalibured]

[He's spent all day searching for one tiny little knight, who decided to sneak away in the better part of the night with a small note had been the best idea. He'd brushed off anyone who'd try to speak to him earlier, checking every place he could think of that would be interesting for a child, and some places that probably weren't.

But now it was getting dark, Gwaine hadn't answered his filters, or been found, and he's absolutely, completely livid]

If anyone has seen a small boy, with brown hair who answers to the name of Gwaine, detain him and inform me, so I may go and collect him.

And Gwaine?

[He is 100% going to destroy everything you love] If you choose not to return of your own volition, the consequences will be most dire.

Comments

[wintercat]

[With more concern than one would normally expect from a stranger.] How long has he been missing?

[You could totally talk this woman into helping you look.]

[excalibured]

At some point last night. He was gone when I awoke.

[At this point he appreciates it, if she doesn't mind the terse tone. He had for some reason, when the note had been so short and not at all explanatory, thought Gwaine would return at some point]

[wintercat]

You must be Arthur. [He talked about you when they met. And not in a nice way.]

I will certainly watch for him.

Dictated

[demontobeloved]

I don't think threatening him further's going to work.

Kids are pretty predictable. Anywhere he likes to hang out?

[excalibured]

It may surprise you.

He enjoys the woods, the city, the Lux. I have already given them all a cursory sweep.

[demontobeloved]

'cursory sweep' usually means you just checked all the obvious places. What about those less than obvious?

/dictated

[ectobabble]

[now, there's a voice he's glad to hear again - and has entirely new context for...]

Arthur, hey! -- Uh, I haven't seen him, but if I do, I'll let you know. What was he wearing, last time you saw him?

[excalibured]

Hello, Ray.

[He has to think about this a moment, but honestly, Gwaine tends to wear the same sort of things, it will at least be close enough]

Dark blue or green, a simple tunic and pants.

[ectobabble]

Hmm. Okay. Yeah, I'll definitely keep an eye out for him. Friend of yours, I'm guessin'?

[whatialways_do]

[ .......... whut?

Now, Max doesn't know who she's talking to. If she did .... well, actually her tone wouldn't change much. But someone talking like that about a kid doesn't necessarily give her the warm and fuzzies.

And she there are still weird loss feelings involved when it comes to Gwaine, so.]

What's it to you?

[excalibured]

I am his guardian of sorts, whilst we are here.

[At least while he's on the loss. He doesn't mind her tone, he's just not very patient, and there are sounds of him wandering around and searching already]

[whatialways_do]

You're his handler.

[because that's how it reads to her]

[heloise]

The mighty knight called Gwaine, you mean, surely?

[excalibured]

Yes. He appears to be temporarily suffering from a loss.

Have you seen him?

[fly_little_bird]

[This little voice sounds hesitant as she dictates]

Gwaine? Um... I saw him in the clinic watching over his friend.

[excalibured]

[A pause, he thinks he knows what that was about]

When was that?

[fly_little_bird]

[She thinks] A little over two weeks ago?

Dictated forever

[huffythedragon]

Gwaine's missing?

...Wait, what do you mean 'small boy'?

[excalibured]

Yes.

Well more like he ran away, but details. He pauses here again, really? Someone just has no idea this is going on, again?] He is on a loss, at the moment.

[huffythedragon]

Oh.

I thought he was just some random kid...

That explains so much.

MANY HOURS LATER...

[save_the_souls]

[Allen finally sees this entry, many hours later when he's finally had a chance to access the journal (He got lost a few times okay?!)]

[oh. This is awkward. Maybe if he keeps this brief]

Ah...I found him. I'll bring him back to the castle.

[assassino]

I have not seen him, but I will inform you if I see him.

[prevenge]

Ooh, are you his dad?
