Eighth Triskele [Video]

[childofthewickedday]

 If it is now Spring, I believe I can be almost certain that I have now entered my twelfth year. 

[Mordred is settled near to a window in New Camelot at the moment with his two stuffed birds, Sir Arbird and Sir Freebird] 

I wish to build a castle. [ A pause before he gestures to his stuffed animals] ...for them.

[ morgana may be somewhat gloomy and bitter and cray but even she knows what it means and she knows her duty. The child has no parents and she knows what her birthdays looked like and so. ]

Then we will build it after the celebration.

[childofthewickedday]

[A little frown]

...celebration?

[conquering]

You are twelve. No birthday is celebrated without a celebration of some sort.

[childofthewickedday]

[A look of confusion passes over his face]

My day of birth has never been celebrated...

[Pause]

Not for being my day of birth.

[Loras gives a slight smile. He reminds him of Tommen, in some aspects--though perhaps a bit darker. Given what he said he had dealt with, it makes sense.]

I am no carpenter, but I would help. My sister and I used to play at making forts as children.

[burping]

We must celebrate then!

[necrowmantic]

I wanna see a bird castle! Is it going to be in the sky?

[Mordred's head tips towards the video]

You would?

[childofthewickedday]

...

[He still is new to this idea of celebrating his day of birth]

How?

[childofthewickedday]

How would we get a castle into the sky?

[He does not have his magic here in Asgard]

[necrowmantic]

A whooole lot of strings and something to tie it to. Or maybe on the backs of even bigger birds.

[conquering]

Then it will be a first time and we must make it worthwhile.

[toldastory]

Happy birthday. Whenever it is.

What do you need to build them a castle?

[dyingisnotdead]

Why would I not?

[He shrugs.]

I enjoyed our last conversation, and I think small things help to raise spirits.

[childofthewickedday]

[He goes quiet and reaches back to pull up his hood]

It is alright, Morgana...if even only you are here..I am content.

[And he thinks the others are too busy with their fighting or their important business to bother with such things]

Re: video;

[childofthewickedday]

[A small smile breaks Mordred's usual solemn air]

I am grateful

[childofthewickedday]

....

[A frown]

That sounds very dangerous for a castle

[childofthewickedday]

Thank you, kind lady

[He still remembers his lessons from Lancelot from time to time]

...I do not know... I've not built one before.

[necrowmantic]

Probably. Good thing birds can fly, nya ha!

[discrepant]

What kind of castle would you like to build? Do you have any type of design in mind?

[He wasn't the type to celebrate birthdays. The very idea of celebrating them never stuck to him, even after having been adopted by the Shoukiin clan. Ayame always made a fuss over it.]

Happy birthday. [Slight pause.] Other than helping build a castle for your friends, do you have any other wishes that you wish to be granted for this day? [Because birthdays are all about wish granting, right?]

[burping]

With a party or perhaps even a festival.

[childofthewickedday]

I do not think many would come.

[childofthewickedday]

[Mordred holds up the stuffed birds]

These ones cannot

Re: audio;

[childofthewickedday]

There are many drawings in the books I have from the library... [Mordred lifts a bird in hand] But I do not know which is best for a bird king's castle.

[A pause]

Thank you.

[And another. He's never been asked such a thing before]

A wish?

[necrowmantic]

Aww, they're pretty cute, though. You should get some living ones to join them.

[Behind Henry there's a few flapping crows. One of them caws.]

These ones say happy birthday! And if you make a castle, they'll totally come and visit.
