Merlin's Bracelet // IC Contact (New)

[dragonspeak]

Arthur, you can't be serious. Oh, come on--ow!

[Merlin's voice, slightly muffled because of the distance at first, is much clearer when he speaks again
after a few seconds, though he sounds anything but cheerful. If anything, he sounds sullen.]

It's Merlin. Sorry I missed you. I'm probably at the hospital or... [here, he pauses,
then continues like the words are being dragged out of him in the most painful manner possible.] Or being useful for my amazingly skilled, patient, and forgiving master instead of
dallying about and picking flowers like the girl's petticoat I usually am.

[A pained moment of silence.]

Leave a message for me here and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

[He barely grimaces when he catches sight of her sweater. It's not like he can say much when he's wearing something just as eyebrow raising.]

Did something happen?

Yes. I've been home, or dreamed of it more accurately. [She sighed.] You might recall I was planning a trip to Utgard with Eridan. We'll be taking that for a little over a week.

Could you help make sure the private stock stays safe and the potions are kept up at Pinch while I'm out?

[It wasn't exactly code. However, it left out the important details of 'god-killing weapon, horrific poison, we're charging to Muspelheim' in actual words.]

[Right...the private stock. Merlin remembers the trip she'd mentioned before.]

Don't worry, I'll make sure everything's safe. [He can't help feeling worried about this, considering what happened last time.] Be careful while you're out there.

As careful as we can be. We can talk after I get back. Better not to discuss this too much right now. You never know if the competition's listening in.

(OOC: It's easy to keep this one short and sweet, since you're catching up and closing things off.)

[He smoothes his fingers down his shirt in an effort to calm his own misgivings.]

Yeah. Let me know when you're back in the city.

[Hopefully he won't have to, but he'll have his healing power ready in case they've run into more trouble like before.]


(ooc: sounds good!)
