Support Services: The Perk, Friday after classes

Yes, there was an E in there again - it was getting chilly outside and Morgana had a feeling that after the past week, chocolate and whipped cream-laden drinks might help everyone's moods.

"If there is a lesson to be taken away from the last week, it's that sometimes the people our friends need to be rescued from the most is themselves," Morgana started, doing her best not to look at Arthur if he was there. "Whether it is a gremlin bite or the island affecting people, sometimes our friends go mad, and nothing can cure them but simply waiting for the effect to wear off. The problem is, if we leave people to fend for themselves, they could, in the best case, do something terribly embarrassing or, in the worst case, hurt themselves, and possibly others in the process. The question we have today is: how can we best keep our friends safe when they're out of their minds? Is it all right to lock someone in their room? To bind them to their bed if necessary?" Now she really wasn't looking at Arthur. "Should we get consent about these things beforehand, or can it be assumed that if someone comes to their senses and finds themselves bound and protected, they will forgive those who caught them for saving them from potential trouble?"

Which, of course, meant Merlin needed to very, very slowly sidle up for apologizing.

And hope no one saw him.

"Hello."

"It's been better," Merlin admitted. "I think, perhaps, I'll be happy to not fall in love with everyone for just a little bit."

"...I thought so too after the weekend."

"One that I fully intend on repressing," Merlin added quickly. "I hear it's very popular."

Francine had found that keeping your face behind a large mug of hot chocolate and an apple fritter -- or three -- did wonders for hiding the wince that came every time tying people up was mentioned.

Dinah came over, apple fritter in hand, looking very, very sheepish. "Hey. Um. Thank you for being my bridesmaid? And trying to talk me out of being crazy?"

Francine lowered her cup and smiled, then licked off the whipped cream mustache she just knew was there. "Any time."

Dinah gave her a grin of relief, and tentatively asked, "So, how's your week been, after you and Arthur dragged off Merlin?" She sighed. "Priestly tried to do that to me. Tranquilizer darts might be a good idea."

"Arthur trapped him in his room, and--" Awesome. Mental images ho. "Tied him up." Quick squirrel-check. And sigh. "And I went back to mine and pretended I wasn't picturing it. And really? That's pretty much how my week has been."

Now Dinah had weird mental images. Thanks for sharing, Francine. You're a bud.

"I caught Radio this morning." And never wanted to shaving cream Arthur's door more. "I'm glad Merlin's as back-to-normal as everyone else, now. But this'll teach me to ever be grateful a weird weekend passes me by. It's just one gremlin bite or bad spell from being crazy in the middle of the week."

"I think you can be grateful," Francine said with a small laugh. "You're just not allowed to be smug about it."

"Yeeeah." Although not treasuring the memory of Tyler and Mr. Stark's wedding was just beyond her. Hopefully if anything that awful ever happened, she'd be able to laugh afterward. "No popcorn next time. And I still wish I'd locked Priestly in his room. He would've been way less upset by the end."

"...hello." Don't talk about the lapdance, Merlin. Even if it was the only other thing other than asking if she really would have gagged him.

"I'd ask if you're sane now, but I was listening to the radio." And then there was Francine getting up to give him a hug. As you do when there have been lapdances and threats of terribly un-erotic asphyxiation.

Not that asphyxiation was terribly erotic to begin with, but...

"Oh yes, after announcing my love on radio, I am."
thatsamilkshake: (hug - 3D)

Merlin paused. "...you were serious?"
