Theodore Roosevelt A-1, Monday Evening


Full of marshmallows and good company, and with her bed finally cleared off of crap junk important things that she desperately needed to bring to the cabins with her, Francine was relaxing on said bed with a book.

No, not That Book. That Book was hidden in a very safe place where no one would look for it even if they knew it existed.

Under her pillow, shut up.

The book she was reading had a burly brooding bearded man and a well-endowed lady on the cover, and wasn't a dingbat's guide to anything. Except maybe purple prose.

[OOC: This one's for the Ears. And possibly the BFF if she cares to snort from the other side of the wall. OMFG campfires are exhausting!

"Well. Yes. I do," Merlin said, looking around nervously. "But I'm not that person from those stories. I'm me."

She stared at him a bit like he was crazy, now. "But they're about you. Even if they got it wrong, you're not just a guy named Merlin - you're that Merlin. You're famous!"

Merlin just ducked his head a bit. "No, I'm not! I mean... I can barely figure it all out most of the time!"

Which made her feel just a little bit guilty for flailing at him, yes. "Sorry. It's just weird. I didn't know know I was dating somebody who's a ..." Francine waved a hand. "Big damn deal. You should've heard my mom going on just over Arthur being a prince."

"Well, he's Arthur." Merlin sighed and fiddled with the bedspread. "He's who ought to be the important one."

"Maybe to some people," Francine said, giving him a bit of a smile. "You're the important one to me, though."

That got her a small grin and a Merlin--yes, the Merlin--leaning over for a kiss. "And that's enough for me to be happy."

That distraction was actually so distracting that Francine forgot what she was supposed to be distracting him from.

"Am I still allowed to be impressed?" she asked with quite a bit more of a grin, afterward.

"If you like," Merlin replied, nodding oh so seriously. "But don't let Arthur hear you be. He'd never stop taunting me about it."

"He never stops taunting you anyway," Francine pointed out.

"If he stopped the taunting, he'd be forced to do something crazy like respect me," Merlin said dryly.

"He could do both, you know." Not that Francine was saying he did necessarily, but they weren't mutually exclusive.
