[Oh god. Merlin had a thought, and that's when things tend to get cagey. And surely enough, true to form...
... Apples...?
Bedivere straightens on automatic when Merlin plucks the flower petal from his hair (begone, thot--!!), frowning a little, more contemplatively than anything.]
Apples...? [???] I don't think I have... [UH.]
Is that truly the best use of time here? [APPLE COLLECTING...]
But I think they'll help someone out! That magus would probably be fine without them, but who knows? It's up to them when they eat them or not. Though I hope sooner...
[ The last part is murmured largely to himself, but he's not specifically trying to hide it from Bedivere. He does tap at Bedivere's feet lightly with the end of his staff, as if telling him to move along and get going. ]
I'll show you the way. I just can't collect them myself.
Well, if it is, that's why I'm coming with you! Avalon may be a utopia, but it's still in the domain of the Faeries, you know.
[ wow that sure is ominous? But Merlin laughs like it's nothing to worry about in the slightest. ]
Plus, it'll be fun! You need to stretch your legs more. You don't want to lose one of them too, right? [ He just laughs cheerfully again, like he's made a joke. Merlin's sense of humor sucks. ]
Oh, sure! Most of them, at least. Ha ha, did I not mention that before...?
[ Probably not, but also, he genuinely doesn't remember. It's the sort of thing that he doesn't find all that important, so he doesn't remember who he'd mentioned it to or not. Though... That might also be why he ended up trapped in a tower, maybe? Hm. ]
But yeah, they just tend to not bother with humans much anymore. Since the Age of Gods ended, it's a bit harder for them to go between worlds, so they'd rather just stay here, in short. They don't really need humanity, so I can kind of understand it!

Date: 2019-04-20 02:07 am (UTC)Bedivere knows that he owes Merlin so, so much for his. Uh. Assistance throughout all of this. But even so, Merlin is so... so Merlin.
Which is why he's not actually surprised that he's getting dragged into helping. Why else would Merlin be here?
He...clears his throat, nodding slowly. He still isn't in a position to argue.]
Very well then. [He supposes. If he must.] Collecting apples does not sound too difficult. [QUESTION MARK?]

... Do you intend to imply that the tales we've known of the Faeries are true?
