second; dictated/action
[ Merlin hadn't really expected to ever be running inane errands for Arthur again (for more reason than one), but he took to it with thrilled enthusiasm at the start. It was familiar, and it was simple, and-
Well, it got old after a few days, actually. And it's particularly old right now. He's attempting to carry a tenuously high stack of books back from the castle's library to Arthur's house (which, Arthur living in a house when there's a castle nearby, how's that for backwards) when he trips in the snow and sends the books and himself sprawling.
He only looks mildly chagrined as he goes to collect the books, some of which have more or less vanished into a snowbank. His journal happens to be one of them, and no, he's not aware it's open. ]
- perfect, now he'll call me an idiot for ruining the pages. Probably doesn't even read them. Don't know if anybody's told you, Arthur, but you aren't exactly busy being a king here. If you really wanted to read, you could go to the library like a normal person instead of just keeping books round the house to make you look intelligent.
[ Then, a bit more distracted and muttered under his breath as he focuses on one of the books: ]
King of Cabbage Heads, maybe.
[ Okay, so he might be more than mildly chagrined. He's also crouched down and testing out drying one of the books with magic, but if anyone sees him, he just looks like he's focusing very hard on a ruined book. ]
( ooc: open to action or over the journal! )

no subject
[The fact that a magical castle made a communication device one couldn't get rid of, should have probably made this an unspoken rule]
Do you not understand the magnitude of what you have done?
no subject
... no, but I'm sure you're about to explain it to me. [ He knows, of course. There are boundaries, and he gets away with plenty, but insulting Arthur in front of strangers or other nobles is not one of those things.
But saying as much isn't going to stop him being chastised, so there's really no point. ]
Merlin the Younger;
No? Noshut.
If you haven't noticed, we're not in Camelot any longer. Tell me, can you recall who was so kind as to join us from home?
[Let's just slowly drag out the reason and slap you in the face with it]
Arthur the Prat; no jk it just says Arthur
Morgana.
[ And he's tempted to defend himself again, but - no point, nothing he could really say to throw Arthur off course. Well, not anything he'd like to say, anyway. There's still a surprising lack of chagrine to that single word, though; frustration isn't quite the right word, but it's something close. ]
