[dammitmerlin]

I don't know how anyone is supposed to be able to use these clothes cleaning contraptions. It's bad enough I had to toss them all in there myself, but now all my white shirts are pink. What bloody good is that going to do me, running around in pink? And it's no use lecturing the damn thing. At least when it was Merlin, he would get marginally

Comments

I am seriously out of practice with the canon so forgive the fail.

[derpwithdestiny]

Maybe you ought to give pink a try. It might suit you better than you think.

[brb SPRINGING INTO ACTION to find you some new clothes anyway. In fact he'll probably run into him at the clothes shop. Would Arthur like a leather jacket...]

If I have no choice...

[dammitmerlin]

[He won't even dignify that with a response. Because he's EXPECTING Merlin to show up at the clothing store.]

There you are. I was thinking, since you seem to like pink so much, you could do with some new clothes yourself.

[And here he tosses a wadded up pink dress in Merlin's face.]

Thank you kind sir.

[derpwithdestiny]

[Oh, and it's his size and everything, how thoughtful of you, Your Highness. :|]

...Thanks. Um, I'll...hold on to this, then. [Aaaand setting it aside.] You know, I can help you with your laundry.

My generosity is a weakeness

[dammitmerlin]

[He just likes to do his part to keep you happy, Merlin.]

You were suppose to be doing it. But you haven't been doing it. I can't very well go out with stains on my shirt, can I?

[derpwithdestiny]

[A quality befitting the future king, indeed.]

You could...[Well, no, he doesn't want you to throw more dresses at him so he will not point out you could just not get stains on your shirt in the first place.

You wouldn't have this problem if you wore a cool kerchief, too!] No, of course not. Ahh...find anything you like in here, at least?

[dammitmerlin]

No, most of it's all utterly useless, covered in stupid sayings. Though some of them might work for you.

[He turns one of the shirts out from a rack. It has "I'm with idiot" and an arrow pointing up.]

It's your color, too.

[derpwithdestiny]

[He holds it up. How...does he look.]

You know, I think it might grow on me.

[dammitmerlin]

You know what, Merlin? It's you. It's really, honestly, you. Go on and give it a try.

[His clothes shopping can wait. For this.]

[derpwithdestiny]

...Wait. You're...serious about this. [...Yes, he's really serious.] You really want me to put this on?

[He could just not do it, you know. No princely authority here!]

[dammitmerlin]

Do I look like I'm joking?

[Will this be it, Merlin? Will you finally stand up for yourself?]

[derpwithdestiny]

[YEAH MOTHERFokay no, he won't. But he's not giving in just yet. Come on. Let him have a little dignity, will you?]

...I. Am not putting this on. We're here for you, remember?

[dammitmerlin]

[Count yourself lucky that Arthur is easily distracted.]

Fine, you can try it on later. It's a pain finding a decent tunic in this place. What I wouldn't give for a decent tailor.

[derpwithdestiny]

[Oh, he does. Many times a day.]

You might try asking the people in this village. They're really quite helpful, you know. I'm sure there'd be someone willing to sew for you.

[dammitmerlin]

Well I don't exactly have much to offer in return, now do I? [He may be a prince to Merlin here. But to everyone else, he's just a guy who is a bit difficult to put up with.]

[derpwithdestiny]

Oh, I wouldn't put it like that...[But, okay, he has a point.]

I mean, some might even consider doing it for free. It wouldn't hurt to ask, at least.

[dammitmerlin]

Maybe. But there's always Gwen. [But. Arthur doesn't like making Gwen work. Not unless he can make it up to her somehow and she'd just get upset if he offered Merlin's services in exchange for her's.]
