[Post 018] Video/Action for Goldenrod City

[of_france]

[The 'Gear comes on to briefly show France's face before it's handed off to Marianne, who takes it obediently in her mouth. She moves off to the side, and France goes back over to the bathroom door.]

Merlin! Come on out; we want to see how lovely you look!

Don't ever say that in front of Arthur.

(This is ridicusilly.)

(Welp.

At least it's more entertaining than television.)

At least he's finally wearing something that actually fits.

[France beams.]

I know! This suits his figure so much better than that baggy ensemble he wears everywhere. I know it's comfortable to wear baggy clothes, but it makes him look like a waif rather than a strapping young man.

(Is amuseee)

You're wasting your time if you think he's going to keep it; Merlin has absolutely no concept of the importance of personal appearance.

[France's face become determined to the max.]

Then I will get my hands on Merlin's current garments aside from the suit and burn them as punishment for being an offence to fashion everywhere!

(Oh did Arthur need this, France. He's more than happy to watch this drama unfold while not helping at all.)

Is there some reason you're so determined about this?

[Video]

[of_france]

[France makes an extremely grand gesture.]

I am France, and fashion is in the blood that waters my lands more than any other country's! Determination does not even begin to describe the endless extent of my passion!

[prideofcamelot]

Passion about... fashion. (A small, amused smile curls his mouth.)

Of course. Are you sure you're King Arthur and not a poet?

[Wink wink.]

[prideofcamelot]

Prince, (he corrects, almost without thinking.)

And no. But I do want to know why do you keep calling me that.

[Video]

[of_france]

[France blinks. He actually just calls Arthur "King" without thinking about it. He shrugs.]

Where I'm from, you're a legend. For some people more than a legend. It feels wrong for me to call you anything less than King.

(video)

[prideofcamelot]

I see. (And Arthur wanted to know because he's corrected him a few times, now. He does know about the legend part, though, so hearing that isn't as much of a shock as it would have been earlier in his visit.)

While I'm grateful for your respect, I would rather earn such consideration on my own merit before having it given to me.

[France nods before an uncomfortable expression settles over his face.]

Then I shall address you as Prince?

[He's not a stickler for court rules, but addressing people as anything less than they are had once been a possibly very grave offense.]

There's nothing wrong with what I was wearing before.
