Room 511, Wednesday Night

[thatsamilkshake]

After today's trip out to talk to Katchoo, Francine wasn't feeling very social. More thinky, not that her thoughts were really going anywhere except in circles.

So instead of going downstairs for the weekly shirtless vampire fix, she was camped out on her bed with a bowl of vanilla wafers, a glass of milk, and the beginnings of a letter home about everything she'd been doing for the past few months. If by 'beginning' you mean five lines worth of I was a super-hero! Booze is evil... Katchoo is...

Dunk. Crunch. Scribble.

"They're for me!" Merlin said quickly. "As a birthday present."

This lying thing was terribly easy.

"Today's your birthday?" Yeeeah, character totally broken. "I didn't know! We should have a party. Well, it might be a little short notice for that. But, um, cake! I could bake a cake"

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"I'd be happy with the biscuits," Merlin replied. "But cake would be wonderful!"

[thatsamilkshake]

Francine nudged the box toward him, then asked because as often happened, her grasp on social situations was getting slippery right about now, and she had no idea whether they were still playing anymore, "Is it really your birthday?"

Merlin laughed and shook his head. "No, my birthday is in January."

And picked after it had already passed.

*eyes The Boy* Join the club. Xander made t-shirts.

"Aww, you missed your cake. I can still make one, though! It'll just be late-cake."

"It was fall in camelot when we left, so I think I have a few months before celebrating it," Merlin replied.

Francine + time-travel math = an expression sort of like the badger ran into her face. "......Ow, that made my head hurt. Your birthday's like... bouncing around the year now." She shook it off. "And I thought I had it bad being born on April Fool's Day."

An adorable badger face.

"It makes more sense to not think about it," Merlin said, nodding seriously. "So yours is soon then?"

[thatsamilkshake]

"In about a month." Francine nodded. "I'll be seventeen."

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"I'll have to get you something then."

[thatsamilkshake]

"You don't have to do that!" Francine replied immediately.

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"You offered to make me a cake for mine, it's the least I could do," Merlin insisted.

[thatsamilkshake]

"No, the least you could do is just eat the cake," Francine corrected him logically.

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"That's a given." Like the cake wouldn't be eaten by someone at least. "I could get you a scarf."

[thatsamilkshake]

She laughed. "April might be a little late in the season for that."

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"Just a small one, maybe?"

[thatsamilkshake]

"Hmm. Will it have giant green reindeer that want to eat us knitted on it?"

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"I don't know if I could find that easily," Merlin admitted slowly. "I could always ask my mum to knit one, I suppose."

[thatsamilkshake]

Francine looked a little alarmed. ".....No. No, that would be way too much trouble. Really."
