17th Spark || [Video]
[Good morning, Asgard. There's a cheerful warlock wearing a dopey sort of grin on your bracelet screen.]
Since Arthur's already had his time to talk about the Citadel, I guess it's my turn. After what happened with the Gentlemen attacking, and the SOS message a couple days ago, it's not a bad time to remind everyone that the Medic Corps are still around. If you want to help with the war effort but aren't a fighter yourself, we could always use more healers willing to go onto the field and help the wounded. The hospital's a good place to work if being a physician is something you'd like to do, too.
I've just finished packing some more of the medicine kits. [He holds his own kit up to the screen as an example.] If you want one, or if you need to restock yours, just go to the hospital and ask for Merlin.
Right--speaking of the hospital. I've been talking to Jack, and we're going to be redecorating the hospital. Most of the walls and rooms are white, it's hard to believe any patient would recover while looking at something so painfully bare. We could use the help brightening the place up. Paint, portraits, trinkets--anything you've got that you that you want to contribute, I'm sure we'll find some place to put it. Or Jack's little ducklings will if we older folks can't. [Merlin grins, picturing the Guardian surrounded by the native and traveler children.]
Send all of that over to the hospital if you want, or [the half teasing, half sly expression on his face indicates the second option is the better one] you can come and help us decorate in a few days. There's enough of you good at creating and the like that it shouldn't be a problem, right?
[Was that a challenge you just heard? Nah, probably your imagination. Merlin beams, practically radiating cheer and innocence.] Great, so I'll see you all there!

[Video] icon is appropriate??
Okay, no feelings yet. [A pause...
Wait for it...]
How about kisses, then? Should we talk about those instead?
[Video] oh my god
What - what kisses? There are no - you are mad.
[Video]
The kisses you gave me an' Morgana, of course. [Merlin replies breezily.] You don't want to talk about them?
I guess we should just talk about Feelings after all.
[Video]
[ ttly amused. ]
[Video]
I'm ... not -
[ He swallows. Blinks rapidly, shakes his head minutely. The furrow is brows is confusion and the flush on his cheeks is shame. It would be far easier to just refuse to buy into their goading, to hang up and ignore the both of them, but. Arthur is not a coward.
Not a coward, but certainly a fool.
His lips purse and he ducks his head away from the feed, like a guilty child caught red-handed. He might not turn off the feed, but he doesn't really want to face them either. ]
[Video]
The smiles drops from his face, to be replaced with concern.]
...Arthur?
[Video]
He swallows and looks up with a weak smile that scarcely reaches tired eyes. ]
You two are more trouble than you're worth, I'll have you know.
[ A joke! Because Arthur is good at though, at shrugging off the emotional things with gallows humour and a cheeky grin. But there is no laughter and he isn't in the mood to smile, so with that, he simply. Ends the feed.
Foolish and cowardly, what a day, what a day. ]
private to morgana
I think we might have pushed him too far.
