-Oh no.

[The video is washed out, too bright underneath the generic lighting of the even more generic passenger's quarters. Merlin's face slowly eclipses it, eyes wide and a little concerned. With a little trial and error, he's managed to master the device's functions faster than a medieval boy probably has a right to. But technology hasn't come up with an answer for clumsiness. Yet.]

All right?

[Merlin picks the communicator up, sighing in relief before he starts to grin.]

Are we really up there? Up in the stars, I mean. I know everyone keeps saying it, it's just hard to imagine. To think that a servant could be among the stars. I really used to look up to them.

[Merlin presses his lips together, quite possibly the only person amused by that. Arthur's always told him that he shouldn't try to be funny. This would be why.]

Has anyone ever been up here before? Do you think if we stepped outside the ship, it would be like falling out of a tree? Except that there are no trees in space, because there isn't any dirt.

Which makes me wonder...where do we get the apples?

[Merlin finally has the decency to look sheepish about his ramblings and odd questions.]

Sorry. And I've already heard about there being no air and space radiation, so I won't actually be trying to get out there. My guardian just always wanted me to take more of an interest in science. I guess this was one way of doing it.

[Merlin glances off-screen, and there's a hesitance with his last question that the others was lacking.]

Uhm, it is science, isn't it? And not magic?

[ OH. Love for his master. Ok, he buys it and laughs. ]

Duty to your fellow man, huh? Fair enough. If I don't see your prince walking around naked, I'll have you to thank.

[ He's... baiting him. He's sure of it. ]

[ B-but he wants to talk about cheese. Ok, fine. ]


I do too! Some people would say probably too much. One time, my friend Wynne happened to drop by my tent for a conversation about my socks or something, and she took a whiff of the place and said, [ His "old lady" voice: ] "Young man, how could you sleep in a tent that smells like cheese, something something about hygiene."
forlifeloveandcheese: (You're okay.)

[ He laughs. ]

Yes. The servants back in Denerim made the most hilarious faces when I tell them to bring me cheese wheels. They would ask me "what for" and I'll say "for lunch, of course."

[ new best friend tbh ]

I don't know, but not for eating, that's for sure.

As many as I would like. Being royalty has its perks, sometimes.

Here? ...No, not really. A friend of mine told me about this, um, "cheetoes"? I haven't been able to find some.

As long as it tastes good, I don't care what it smells like.

Ha! Another man on the legendary chee-toes quest. I wish you luck, my friend.
