The Causeway, Friday Evening

[glacial_queen]

Karla was starting to have a Bad Feeling about this. Not a Black Widow bad feeling, just a kind of dawning, 'Oh, Darkness, what have I done?' kind of feeling. Would her friends be able to understand the way Kaeleer worked? Would the people in Kaeleer understand her friends? She'd already had Uncle Saetan empty the Hall as much as possible--the last thing she needed was Chaosti and Aaron riding the killing edge because they'd, well, met Arthur. Saetan was old enough to keep a reign on his temper (Darkness willing) and Lucivar.

Hell's fire, this was a bad idea.

But too late for that now. Everyone was pretty much assembled. "Uh, hi," Karla said, giving everyone a kind of feeble wave. "The portal should be here in just a few minutes. But, since we're all here, I figured now might be a good time to give some information about my home and answer any questions. I hope you all got my handwavy message about packing enough for about a week, a bathing suit, and a few more formal items because Uncle Saetan asks that everyone dress for dinner. If not, don't worry, tomorrow we'll be heading out to Amdarh, the capitol city of Dhemlan and there have been some accounts opened at stores for everyone."

She flashed her best unsure-but-game grin and said, "Any questions?"

[Mostly for those going to Kaeleer, but open for anyone who wants to see them off. Some slight OCD on its way! up!]

"Well, we're going someplace new... and with friends..."

"We're going to Karla's world," Arthur muttered, doing his best to keep on that calm-and-mildly-bored face so she wouldn't notice he was complaining and make a fuss. "God only knows."

Dammit, Merlin, stop smiling like that, someone was going to catch something.

Merlin rolled his eyes and bumped Arthur with his shoulder. "Oh no, they might have fun there."

"I doubt it," Arthur deadpanned. "But I packed books, so I'll persevere."

"Arthur..."

"What?"

"Behave."

Arthur eyed him. "You're not my keeper," he pointed out, lightly. "How's reading books not count as 'behaving', anyway?"
