Second Legend

[kingsgambit]

At least this change in the weather will be done with us residing under a roof. [That's said rather casually.]

But that is not my concern for those of you here, no. My concern for today is one of residence. While the castle is a gracious host, and I would assume homes in the town, is there any place outside of those that one could stay in? One perhaps in the woods or near it. It doesn't have to be large, just large enough for one man.

[That done, he sets the journal down near him before returning to his scribbling on a paper in the lobby, a chair dragged over to a corner of it where he has covered part of the wall in symbols, the same of which can be found on papers piled around him. Periodically he glances over at the journal before returning to whatever it is that he's doing.]

Like what, a cabin? When it looks like fall is going to visit like--now? Probably by winter and snow?

[That doesn't look like the usual piece of lobby graffiti, certainly, nor does Merlin look like the usual artist type. Curious.]

Is there a particular reason you've chosen to write on the castle walls?

[scinlae]

[ And Morgana stands behind the chair, head tilting slightly to the side as she observes the symbols on the wall. When did she get there? No one knows. But she is there and that is all that matters right now. ]

A gracious host, indeed. [ She reaches up to trace one of the symbols. ] Yet you are dissatisfied by it's offerings.

[kingsgambit]

I've never been particularly troubled by the weather. So long as it has a roof, I'm rather looking forward to time to myself that is away from certain persons.

[The unfamiliar voice causes him to look over his shoulder, hand stilling on the paper.]

Larger canvas to get my thoughts out.

[kingsgambit]

[He's used to not only being the creeper but also being creeped upon, so her watching is nothing new. So instead he reaches up to remove her hand off the chalk drawing.]

I'm not accustomed to staying in one place not of my choosing for very long.

[lord_wizard]

Were the walls in your own room unsuitable?

[scinlae]

[ It drags her attention from the drawing to him and for a moment she almost looks as if she is going to strike him for touching her. But she doesn't. ]

On that, I cannot fault you. [ She tilts her head, looking at his hand. More so the symbols. ] There are many who feels as you do.

[secondchances]

Ooooh, it's like that.

I don't know if there's anything nearby, but you could probably have people build you something if it comes to it.

[pardon one very large blue parrot while he swoops in and helps himself to one of your papers, Merlin]

Vworrrrrrrrrp.

[and not far after him, running down the steps, is one (1) celery-wearing Doctor, eyes wide] Tardy, NO! No, no no, that does NOT belong to you, drop it straight off. ... I'm terribly sorry --

[he promptly deposits his hat on the bird, which makes it drop the papers with an irritated 'wehk'] Yes, well. It's not for you. [sigh.]
