[When you live in Ireland back in 406AD, going topless isn't that big of a deal. Especially when it's hot. Especially when your back is turned and you're done ripping off bandages.]



[And while Regina's attractive and very pale, the black skin that veins into her back and arms looks painful. At least for the meek and shy, she's covered her torso with long hair while shredding cloth and with a bowl of something to treat her wounds. They hurt more than usual.]

[It does look remarkably painful. To Hisao, at least.]

I don't know if you meant this to be video posted to the network?

[Y'know. Being her back is turned and she seems busy.]

[gwenhwyfar]

[Naturally, she doesn't seem too phased by this, other than an annoyed sigh.]

Of course not. Unless you're prudish to something natural.

[The black skin? Definitely not, but it is to a half-demon. It's just irritating to do it alone.]

Prudish? No, not at all. And, I mean, you have your back facing me so there's really nothing to be prudish about in the first place. I was just asking because you seemed to be busy doing something other than talking in your own video. That's all.

[She purposefully turns half-way around. Thankfully, for him, her hair is covering her, as she holds a bandage. Barely there, she has fangs, almost.]

It wouldn't serve a purpose, regardless.

[Already, he second guesses his decision to begin looking through this network he's been told about. Naked women -- not what he signed up for. But the injuries prevent him from throwing aside the bracelet in distress. Instead, he tries to speak normally despite the deep flush that covers his cheeks, an air of concern all about him.]

My lady - do you require any assistance? What happened to you?

[gwenhwyfar]

[Good thing for him, she has long hair. But the deep color on his cheeks earns a soft laugh.]

No, I don't. I've done this many times since I was a child.

[Meaning that, they're wounds that will never go away.]

[sworntovalor]

[The meaning is not lost on him.]

I'm sorry.

[Now that it's been established that she isn't in some peril and does not require assistance - he'll avert his eyes thank you very much.]

[gwenhwyfar]

[That's her cue to turn around, giving him a scrutinizing look.]

Why are you apologizing?

[while in any other circumstance he would stutter & blush with a naked on his feed, he catches eye of those injuries & his better nature kicks the sheepishness away]

Milady! Are you alright? Would you like some help?

[gwenhwyfar]

It doesn't matter if you helped or not.

[Luckily, she's in an apathetic mood today.]

[modestchivalry]

[the way she acts actually impresses him - but he doesn't say anything]

Where are you? I could meet you rather than have you wander around like that. [with those injuries, not half naked. though he doesn't think she should do that either]

I'm changing my bandages and I rather do it on my own. I was born like this.

[He doesn't look at all bothered by her current state, instead seeming more curious about her arms.]

Are those burns?

Video

[gwenhwyfar]

Almost.

Video

[childsoldier]

They look like they hurt. Have you had a doctor look at them?

[gwenhwyfar]

[Fortunately, for him, he's young, so Regina doesn't even bother turning as she works on her bandages and the strange earthy cream she applies to her arms.]

It would do no good.

[ Knowing - well, knowing what little he knows, Arthur's certain there's a story there.

And knowing what little he knows, he's not certain it's any of his business. ]

Regina.

[ video ]

[gwenhwyfar]

[That's not a voice she was expecting.]

Yes?

[ video ]

[pratentious]

[ He's quiet a second, careful not to let his eyes fall anywhere untoward but rather trained on her face. Maybe he's looking for something. He doesn't know. ]

You'll catch cold.

[ video ]

[gwenhwyfar]

[Aw, but she does keep her back to him, already managing to get at least one arm done.]

I'm not supposed to catch colds.

[Merlin opens his mouth, and realising that he never actually got her name that first time, closes it again. At least Arthur mentions her name right away, so he isn't left completely floundering.]

Er--it's Regina, right? [He doesn't remember her being among the victims of Baldr's recent, horrible prank, but it doesn't matter. Those burns look painful.]

Did you need someone to treat those for you?

Can I help?

[gwenhwyfar]

[By this time, her torso is covered with bandages.]

I'm afraid there isn't much to be helped with, Bran, but thank you.

[He almost smiles for a moment; she puts him at ease in a strange way. Not too much like him, but alike enough to be closer than most others by default.]

It is good that you seem to be well, though.

[gwenhwyfar]

[She is much more gentler with him -- he's a child, there's no reason to snap at him.]

Thank you. Don't worry about me, I need to change these every so often, anyway.
