Merlin's Bracelet // IC Contact (New)

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.

tomorrow.

[ she agrees, presses a kiss to the patch of skin which is the closest to her, just the place where shoulder meets neck. ]

I'm glad you're here, Merlin.

[He goes utterly still for a second, thrown back by the memory of those words--spoken by someone else another time.

I'm glad you're here, Merlin.]

...yeah. Me, too.

[The exhaustion from the day finally gets to him then, and he closes his eyes.]

It's going to be a long day. We should get some rest while we can.
