Log:

[ sup, Goldenrod store. There is one idol half-walking with, half-dragging a guy in a tux and looking around with an air of purpose. Because, you know, Rise takes fashion seriously, and Merlin is going to get lots of outfits to make him look good and he will LIKE IT. ]

Okay, that over there is the-- whoops, that's the lingerie section! I bet you've got fond memories of that, don't you?

Definitely. [ not really, but she doesn't need Merlin running screaming out of there before she gets him a decent wardrobe. ]

ffffffff

[dragonspeak]

[He foolishly relaxes, taking Rise's word for it] Well, if you say so. [He shuffles his feet as he surveys their surroundings] Where should we go?

[restardom.livejournal.com]

We're going to the men's department! You don't know your sizes offhand, do you?

[dragonspeak]

[He plucks at his new clothes, frowning] I haven't really...shopped for myself before.

[restardom.livejournal.com]

... Um... Merlin, you're a little too old not to.

[dragonspeak]

[Shakes his head] Maybe it's different for people in the future, but servants like me don't exactly have much choice for clothing. [Smiles wryly] We take what we get.

...

Okaaaaaay, this shopping spree is on me!

[dragonspeak]

On yo--no. No way. If we're going to be having a "shopping spree", I'm paying for it. [Touches her shoulder briefly] It's enough that you're willing to do this without my asking. Honest.

[restardom.livejournal.com]

[ and she pouts up at him. ] Merlin, I wouldn't be offering if I didn't want to.

[dragonspeak]

I know that. [He nudges her] And I appreciate it. Just...let me do this for myself.

[restardom.livejournal.com]

[ Rise don't look too convinced just yet, but simply sighs. ] Let's actually get there first.

[dragonspeak]

Sounds like a plan. [Makes to step forward, then pauses] ...you should probably lead the way. I er...have no idea where anything is.

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Well, they've got some really nice nightgowns over there--

[dragonspeak]

[He purses his lips and gives her a dry look] I'm not so sure they'd...fit me.

[restardom.livejournal.com]

You'd look great in floral.

[ but cheerfully taking the lead. ]

[dragonspeak]

[Turns to look at the "floral"--there's a long silence following that] Nah, I think I'd rather not find out.

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Aww, where's your sense of adventure?

[dragonspeak]

[Steeeeeers her away from the floral nightgowns] It fled as soon as I laid eyes on...that. [Coughs] Now...men's department, you said?

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Gee... he talks to dragons, but runs screaming from nightgowns-- oh yeah, near the back.

[dragonspeak]

I'll have you know that women's garments can be very frightening. [He adds as an afterthought: ] Especially if people think you have...questionable habits. Which I don't.

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Yeah, because I'm sure they can set you on fire-- [ and that next comment has her swallowing a laugh.

AND SAYING NOTHING. ]

[dragonspeak]

I've seen women in Camelot trip over their hems. [Yes, he's saying this seriously] Tell me that isn't dangerous, even if it isn't fire.

[restardom.livejournal.com]

...

[ Rise would love to, except Rise is now cracking up. ]

[dragonspeak]

And that's not even mentioning how complicated the str--[Breaks off, looking put out] You're not taking this seriously at all, are you? [There's a small smile tugging at his lips, despite his tone]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

I-I'm taking it very seriously--!

[ ... she says through her laughter. ]
