Room 505, Saturday Afternoon

[thatsamilkshake]

After everything that had happened in the last few weeks, Francine should probably be spending her last Saturday in Fandom wandering around the island enjoying the sights and sounds of the place as it was supposed to be, not sprawled on her bed reading Cosmo, but... air conditioning.

And Slim Your Thighs In 6 Minutes a Day.

[OOC: for a phone call, and the roomiebffgirl, of course, if she so desires. I WARN YOU NOW I AM FALLING ASLEEP, PEOPLE.]

So, of course this was the best time for a phone call from someone in a castle.

If it helped, it was Arthur's chambers, so people could hardly wander in and catch him.

Once upon a time, Merlin's ringtone used to be A Life Less Ordinary, but now... well...

"Hiii!"

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"Hi!" Merlin kicked his legs about in the air, laying stomach down on Arthur's bed as he read... something that might have been a Cosmo. "Are you busy?"

[thatsamilkshake]

Francine... may or may not have been in the same position. Then again, Francine may or may not have been A GIRL. Cough.

"Nope, just reading. I thought that girl Casey that we met at the con was kidding, but apparently there actually is an exercise called a windshield wiper."

"..." Merlin stared down at the magazine for a moment. "Er... really?"

[thatsamilkshake]

"Uh-huh. I'm reading about it in Cosmo. It's a th-- leg exercise." For health and stamina, not because she had fat thighs!

"...is there a woman in a blue dress on the cover?" Oh, Merlin. So, so gay.

[thatsamilkshake]

"..."

Francine poked her head up and looked suspiciously around the room. "Are you here? Did you get stuck invisible?" It wouldn't exactkly be the first time that had happened, after all.

"I might have gotten a few magazines when we went to the mall the other day." Yes, the mall. For funsies.

[thatsamilkshake]

"You have a MALL in Camelot now?"

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"It was in someplace called Eye-oh-wa, actually. The portals are... tricky."

[thatsamilkshake]

"...So you went to Iowa to buy magazines?"

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"No! No, no, no. We were going to Fandom and ended up... there. I got chocolate."

That made it better!

[thatsamilkshake]

"Oooh, what kind of chocolate?" ...Don't judge her. Of course that made it better!

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"Chocolate covered grapes and strawberries," Merlin replied blissfully. Oh, they'd been wonderful.

And no, not helping his attempts at masculinity.

[thatsamilkshake]

"Mmmmm. I wonder if they have those at Wonka's." She'd focus on the other thing eventually. Give her a second. "Wait, so you were coming here but you didn't make it? Are you gonna try again soon?"

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"I think so!" Merlin replied. "Or we'll see if you can come visit us perhaps?"

[thatsamilkshake]

"We could bring you marshmallows and..." WTF from the 21st century did Arthur actually like? "...cheeseburgers!"

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"...you'd bring us marshmallows?" Merlin once again loved you so, Francine.

[thatsamilkshake]

"Of course! And cookies. And..." What else could she bring? "A meatcake?"

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"I think I need to propose to you."

[thatsamilkshake]

Oh, if he'd said that a year ago...

"I think there might be a few objections at the wedding..."

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

Merlin laughed, nodding in agreement. "If there weren't, I'd be worried."

[thatsamilkshake]

"And the cake would get thrown at somebody, I'm pretty sure. That'd be a terrible waste of good cake."

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"Maybe we could keep a bit safe?" Yes, always thinking ahead.
