[It seems someone isn't being careful with their Forge. It broadcasts from the ground, nudged by a horse's hoof when the animal stirs.]

[It isn't the only living thing in the barn. Seconds later, a boy sits up and takes a slow look around him. He's a pasty child with blue eyes, and ears that are just a little too big for his head.]

[His first ( Read more... )

[ Dora may be beligerent and a bit of an ass, but she's not completely unsympathetic to an ickle kid crying. ]

Hey! Hey. Don't cry! It'll be alright.

[Merlin hiccups, blinks a couple of times before searching for the source of the voice. It's then that he finds his Forge in the hay.]

Hello?

[ Dora has a bare grasp on the Force works. It's enough for her to cause trouble with, if she was going to cause trouble. (She will though! Just not right now.) ]

Wotcher! I'm Dora. Please don't cry.

pratservant July 24 2011, 01:19:51 UTC

Dora.

[He repeats the name softly.]

I'm Merlin.

You're so little. Are you a baby?

[So. Magic. Right. And from a little kid crying for his mother. All right. Dealing with this rationally.

And a moment later, as she thinks, she remembers where she's heard the name Ealdor before. First Ichigo, now this little one. It's starting to make an extremely strange sort of sense.]

Merlin? Is that you?

[Oh wait, he's not just Merlin but also an upset child.]

Hush, my darling. It's all right. Try to calm down before you get hurt, all right?

[video] pratservant July 24 2011, 01:15:50 UTC

Mother?

[There's a flash of hope across his face. Because she sounds gentle like his mother, calls him by his name, and my darling, and no one else ever speaks to him that way.]

[But then he sees the video of her, red hair instead of dark, and no, that's not his mother. But she sounds nice. He wipes the back of his hand across his cheek.]

Is it really? Is it really all right?

[video] calamitousnaiad July 24 2011, 05:58:04 UTC

No, I'm sorry. I'm not your mother. But I do care about you, Merlin. My name is Verity.

[She'd not going to ask him if he remembers her. It's obvious he doesn't, just like Ichigo. So she'll have to concentrate on trying to take care of him.]

Don't worry, sweetheart, I'll do everything I can to make it all right. Are you hurt at all?

[video] pratservant July 24 2011, 22:34:13 UTC

Verity.

[He draws his legs up and stares at the video, practically clinging to it.]

I don't think so.

[Merlin shakes his head. He doesn't feel any pain, but the fear and adrenaline still linger, possibly covering it up.]

How do you know my name?

That was magic.

I don't think I can arrest people over these things.

Video pratservant July 24 2011, 01:55:48 UTC

I don't know any magic.

Do so! I saw it! Don't try to hide, sorcerer!

I'm not a sorcerer! It just happens!

Hey...what's wrong? Did you lose your mommy?

pratservant July 25 2011, 22:43:24 UTC

I've lost everything.

breakspromises July 25 2011, 22:56:13 UTC

You need a hug. And waffles.

pratservant July 25 2011, 23:34:04 UTC

How can you tell when you need a hug?

[Oh! A little girl! And she's not crying at all. Merlin sniffles, trying to be brave.]

You too?

...You don't have a mother? [That sounds horrible.]
