My name is Merl....

[open_flame]

This goblin started following me after Luke died. He used Trev andThom's  old blocks to write "My name is Merl" last night.

So...um...meet Merl.

He makes coffee. Better than my stupid cat

He needs some pants. To... hide his tail.

He keeps taking them off, folding them, then un-folding them and doing it again. I don't even know.

Hey, do you know what this mean? He wrote it all over one of my journals.

[shows Gabe this]

Μου δώστε το κέικ, κυρία πυρκαγιάς.

[ponders] That's... Greek.

I think it means that you're supposed to give him cake. He's calling you firelady.

[Merl looks very happy to be understood, bows to Gabriel and runs off to the kitchen pointing at the cake on the counter]

Wow...all that over cake.

[gives Merl the whole damn cake]

Thank Gabriel. Guess I gotta learn Greek now.

You're welcome. [watches Merl snarf down the cake] He's kind of cute. I can relate to the sweet tooth, anyway.

[smirk] His old master, or whatever, was an eighteen year old guy. Think that explains it.

[headshake] I don't know what to do with him. Someone who knows about this stuff says he chose me.

[graylikeme.livejournal.com]

Chose you? That sounds...um. Why did he choose you? Is it the unlimited storage of cake or what?

[she's going to leave off the bit about being knocked up and agreeing to be a key Elemental Knight in a potentially apocalyptic Fae War to get her husband and son back. It's not exactly her favorite topic]

[frustrated sigh] I came home after Jack and my son were taken. Then I found out the old 'goblin master', Luke was murdered and when I was talking to Nathan about it this guy's buddy gave us an egg and ran off. Merl just stuck around.

[Merl is done with cake now, and slips into a shadow near Liz's chair, effectively vanishing]

Great, he's doing the hide and seek crap again. I need to find a book on these things, and on how to speak Greek, I guess.
