[praticalmagic]

Is there a reason why you're pacing around your room?

[praticaldestiny]

No, of course there isn't.

[praticalmagic]

So you're pacing around... for no reason at all. Yes, that makes perfect sense.

[praticaldestiny]

It's called sarcasm, Merlin. Or does that go over your head, as well?

[pissy prince is pissy!]

[praticalmagic]

Unfortunately, no.

[praticaldestiny]

[rolls his eyes] Don't you have something you ought to be doing?

[praticalmagic]

Not at the moment.

[praticaldestiny]

Well I'm sure you could find something.

[praticalmagic]

I have time to spare. So you can tell me what's bothering you.

[praticaldestiny]

[frustrated sigh]

It's this place.

[praticalmagic]

...That's very helpful. Go on.

[praticaldestiny]

All the magic, and the dragons...

[doesn't flop into a chair, because princes don't flop, but it's pretty close. runs a hand over his face]

It's frustrating.

[praticalmagic]

... I know.

[praticaldestiny]

No, you don't know. You haven't spent your entire life being trained to destroy nearly everything in this place.

[praticalmagic]

No, I haven't. But just because I don't seek to destroy it, doesn't mean it's any less confusing to me.

[praticaldestiny]

I think I've very nearly made friends with a dragon, Merlin. What happens if, when we return to Camelot, I've become so used to these things that I can't properly protect my people from them?

[praticalmagic]

Protecting your people is more than just swinging your sword, Arthur. I think when the time comes, you'll do the right thing and protect them all.
