[It's a two-for-one special when the feed begins. The face in front belongs to a young man with dirty blond hair, aquiline nose and perfect jawline. And he seems to be shirtless.]

[The face peeking over his shoulder looks to be around the same age with dark hair and pale skin. Mostly ears and cheekbones beyond that. He's still stuck in one of

[Huh. This is interesting. Jo just arches her eyebrows and smirks.]

Good to see Prince Arthur and his boyfriend popped in to grace us little people with their presence on their way to -

[Yeah, no, she can't. She laughs.]

Go ahead and ask the robots for clothes. They'll get them for you.

[ Arthur gives Merlin the longest ever sidelong look. ]

The word you're looking for is manservant.

[incaution]

[Don't worry guys, you'll both get a sidelong look from her too. She's trying so hard to be entirely serious about all of this, but it's so hard.]

Whatever you guys call one another in private is your own thing. I'm just trying to help you get some clothes, before you get stuck with every girl in town drooling all over that naked chest of yours.

[ Arthur blinks, and then smirks, bringing a hand up to the back of his neck. ]

Well!

[incaution]

Aw look, I made him blush. [Oh, this one is too easy to tease.]

[supercilious]

I'm not- I do not- Look, to be totally honest with you, I don't even know what a robot is.

[incaution]

Lucky for you, I'm out and about and can help your butt out. You go on ahead and peek your head outside the front door and let me know what apartment you're in, and I'll make sure your princely rear end gets shoved in some clothes.

Have you no delicacy at all?

[ fine, fine, check him going to the door. he doesn't actually think to take the datapad with him and nearly steps on it when he returns. ]

A - 3. Don't drool on the doorstep.

[incaution]

Can't say I'm a very delicate kinda girl. [Oh, Arthur. You're going to be so much fun to tease, being cocky like that.]

And don't worry about the drool, either. I don't go for guys who use words like delicacy. [She chuckles.] Hang tight, your highness, I'll be there in a few minutes.

[pratservant]

Uhm. I'm not his boy...anything.

[He's drawing the line at washing his socks.]

I'm his servant. Merlin.

[incaution]

Hey, I'm not the one broadcasting next to a topless guy. You're opening yourself up to the teasing, buddy. [There's gentle laughter there, though, she's trying not to mock him too much on his first day here.]

Relax, and just go find the robots wandering around. Tell them you need clothes, and they'll get you what you need.

[pratservant]

Oh, Arthur's topless a lot. I'm used to it. [Because yeah, that helps his case.]

The robots are the little metal things, right? I've never seen a creature like them before.

Re: video

[incaution]

Topless a lot, huh? So does he have you -

Yeah, no. You make it too easy, I'm not even gonna go there.

Uh...anyway, yeah. The little to occasionally giant metal things are droids. I told Arthur I'd swing by and help you guys figure out the whole modern technology and clothes thing, if you want the help.

[pratservant]

[Have him what? Merlin blinks, torn between curiosity and...fear, really. But the help is probably more important.]

Yeah, that would be-

[He takes a deep breath, finishes the sentence with a firm nod.]

Appreciated.

[incaution]

I'll be there in a few minutes, so don't get your panties in a twist just yet. If your prince buddy gets too demanding, just pretend you have some kind of time travel sickness and can't hear him.

[pratservant]

[...Panties? Let it go, Merlin.]

You mean ignore him? Yeah, I do that all the time.

[A servant. But not a particularly good one.]
