[malfoy_purity]

[Draco has locked himself in his room. Deciding to avoid the wolves at all costs. After meeting Greyback, he has a healthy appreciation for staying out of the way of wolves.]

Merlin I will be glad when this whole mess is over. I mean what exactly is a ghost wolf supposed to do aside from scare you half to death?

Comments

[impetuous]

Them?

[malfoy_purity]

Hmmm there's been a few of you over the years that have come along and talked about a young merlin. He was even here himself once.

[impetuous]

I heard. Seems I missed him.

[malfoy_purity]

He'll probably turn up again at some point, your lot usually do.

[impetuous]

We'll have to see. I'm Gwaine, by the way.

[malfoy_purity]

Malfoy, Draco malfoy and if you ever hear me say the word muggle it means someone without magic. If I have to explain that word one more bloody time to someone I am going to kill someone.

[impetuous]

[He laughs.]

I'll keep that in mind.

[malfoy_purity]

See that you do, so what is it you do Gwaine? You don't seem to balk at magic like that Arthur did.

[impetuous]

Arthur is... [Insulting the prince is generally bad idea, right? Right. Trying to come up with a decent adjective.] ...he's a special one. I'm one of his knights.

[malfoy_purity]

Special isn't quite the word I'd use but okay.

[impetuous]

You're a wizard then?

[malfoy_purity]

Yes, at least you're from somewhere that believes it exists.

[impetuous]

Believe? We know it exists. It's also illegal.

[malfoy_purity]

How can you outlaw magic? That's like outlawing someone because they can see.

[impetuous]

I'm sure if the kings got it into their heads that sight is a danger to their power they'd outlaw it too. [Guess who doesn't like the noble and ruling class?] But that's what they've done. Magic users keep to themselves now mostly.

[malfoy_purity]

What do you lot do, burn them at a stake too?

[impetuous]

When they're not beheaded.

[malfoy_purity]

I was being facetious when I said that...you're serious aren't you?

[impetuous]

I wish I weren't.

[malfoy_purity]

That's murder!

[impetuous]

I know. [Oh, he knows. He's one who refuses to make excuses for the ruling class about it.] Everyone knows. Even the king's son knows. But the king is a cold-hearted old fool and most are too afraid of him to speak up.

*coughs*

[malfoy_purity]

How is he still the king, don't you have some fool wanting to take him down?

:3

[impetuous]

A few. But when you've a king with one of the strongest armies in the Five Kingdoms and an entire populace afraid of his anger, not much changes. Only chance we've got is once the prince inherits.

[malfoy_purity]

There are people known as assasins.

[impetuous]

[ He makes a sound of acknowledgement, but doesn't respond either way. He is loyal to Arthur and Uther is Arthur's father. The land may be better off without Uther, but he cannot voice that opinion out loud. ]
