considering ataraxion or scorched for august

[ex_isles478]

I don't see why you seem so bloody keen on throwing me into a game with the frog, of all people. Don't you have better things to do with your free time than scheme?

And there's no use in getting your hopes up so early. They're bound to be disappointed.

Well, you might say that I'm between homes. I'm supposed to be on my way to that.. star.. ship, though.

[ex_isles478]

And you're looking forward to the prospect?

Ah.

[And he is making some deductions about who this stranger might be, even without the mun's help.]

Certainly, but there are things at home to attend to. Gallivanting about in unknown universes isn't the sort of thing I had in mind for the summer.

[Not that his pirate's nature isn't raring for an adventure, though.]

[notakingstrophy]

There always are. I have to admit, I would have been quite happy to spend the next decade or so in Bryn Myrddin.

One must make the best of the lot one is given, though, I suppose.

[ex_isles478]

So you are Merlin.

[notakingstrophy]

That's what they call me.

[And England is squashing quite a bit of excited bouncing, because, well, figure from his legends and all that.]

Pleasure to meet you, then.

[notakingstrophy]

It's a pleasure to meet you, as well, particularly in this form. Ambrosius would have been thrilled to see you.

I do believe I met him once at the time, although I was quite small at the time.
