[The communicator clicks on, and it's almost the first of any word from Arthur there has been since the dreams, but there is no sound save for gentle breathing. On the other side, Arthur is holding it in a firm grip, knuckles white. He knows he should say something, that perhaps he should apologize to everyone he'd killed, but what is there to say ( Read more... )

voice, event; dark tower dream

Hey, are you okay?

[voice] oncefutureking December 9 2009, 05:27:04 UTC

I have been better.

[voice] willowtenbrook December 10 2009, 00:42:47 UTC

You didn't do that, you know. It's just a dream.

[voice] oncefutureking December 10 2009, 07:54:05 UTC

Tell that to everyone else.

So you're the one with those dreams then. I take it you're not fond of magic. [trying to keep her voice light, doesn't want to spook him like her boyfriend friend is up there.]

[He vaguely recognizes her voice, but has never conversed with her. Unsurprisingly, considering his previous altercation with Ron, he is wary, and almost defensive:]

It is how I was raised.

[voice] dragon_and_vine December 9 2009, 19:34:50 UTC

You were raised to fear it?

[voice] oncefutureking December 9 2009, 19:39:39 UTC

Since before I was born magic has presented a threat to my kingdom. Sorcerers would like nothing more than to tear down my father's throne and leave Camelot in ruin.

[He's really quiet for the moment, still very upset about his own dream. That whole night was filled with unpleasant images.]

...I'm sorry that we lied to you.

[With everything that had been going on in his mind, Arthur had almost, almost forgotten everything else he'd witnessed. Yet somehow, he finds the fact that he was lied to a bigger bother than the actual sorcery was. It's subtle, but he almost sounds hurt.]

I should have known, after what I heard from your friend Ron.

Look... We didn't want to make an enemy of you just because of your prejudices. So Merlin thought it'd be best if we didn't say anything at all.

oncefutureking December 10 2009, 20:04:34 UTC

Oh, so Merlin knew. Of course.

[He wants to laugh at the concept, but it doesn't quite make it out, and he sobers quickly.]

It's true then. What you did to him.

[Draco doesn't display any of the hesitancy that others have. It's with a distinct sense of betrayal - a feeling that he isn't used to being on the receiving end of - and disgust that he speaks, making his words sharp and spiteful.]

Hmph. You're no better than those filthy halfbreeds, are you?

[Though, perhaps it's more defensive than anything else.]

[voice] oncefutureking December 10 2009, 07:57:05 UTC

[It surprises the prince just how much the spite of this person bothers him, and his jaw clenches briefly.]

I have never lied to you.

[voice] ferretprince December 12 2009, 22:09:26 UTC

[Draco is silent for a moment; he certainly can't say the same, as Merlin thought it would be best for the prince to remain oblivious to the fact that they were wizards.]

That's irrelevant. You're nothing but a savage who murders blindly, and I couldn't care less about whether or not you've lied to me before.

[voice] oncefutureking December 13 2009, 09:33:17 UTC

[Arthur would laugh, if it were anyone else. Instead, he sounds all too sober.]

I have never killed the way that nightmare showed me to, and I have never taken part in something so ruthless.

[And then his voice is low, because in truth, he almost doesn't want Draco to verify what he already knows.]

Can the same be said for you?
