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

[she smiles a bit] A simple 'No, I can't. Sorry.' would be fine next time.

[notthat2d.livejournal.com]

Sorry, but I wanted to explain why I couldn't do it so you wouldn't think I was just being an ass.

[open-flame.livejournal.com]

Look who I'm married to. [her voice cracks a bit at the mention of Jack, who's still missing and presumed Evil Fae enslaved]

I mean...it's going to take a lot more for me to think you're an ass.

[notthat2d.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but you know how paranoid I can get sometimes.

[open-flame.livejournal.com]

[she nods] Happens to the best of us. You don't have to worry about that around here. We all screw up, a lot.

[notthat2d.livejournal.com]

True. Anyway, good luck with the new goblin, hopefully at worst, you just need to see how much it dislikes fire.

[open-flame.livejournal.com]

[she smiles] He likes it. I've been mediating a lot more than usual now that Jack's...[softly] gone. Merl just watches me.

[notthat2d.livejournal.com]

So threatening to burn him if she tries anything is out of the question?

[open-flame.livejournal.com]

Yes....

Wait...who's she?

[notthat2d.livejournal.com]

I meant he, apparently I am unable to talk.

[open-flame.livejournal.com]

[laughs] Do I make you that nervous, still?

[notthat2d.livejournal.com]

No, I've pretty much accepted that you can turn my behind into ashes at any whim you choose.

[open-flame.livejournal.com]

[frowns[ I don't do that...

[notthat2d.livejournal.com]

I know. Kitty doesn't go around phasing into people chests and pulling out vital organs either, doesn't mean I'm not afraid she will if angry enough.

[open-flame.livejournal.com]

[narrow eyes] I have never gotten angry enough at ANYONE to burn them...

..except..

never mind.

[notthat2d.livejournal.com]

*sighs* I'm sorry for bringing it up. I know you'd never actually set anyone on fire, even when angry. That's why you're one of the good guys.

[open-flame.livejournal.com]

No see...[she huffs] I have it's just...I never intend to do it.

Sometimes, the fire has a mind of its own.

[notthat2d.livejournal.com]

I know, and I can only guess how hard it is to control fire. *surprise comfort hug*

[open-flame.livejournal.com]

[eeps] Thank...you.

[notthat2d.livejournal.com]

*lets go* No problem, it's what friends do.

[open-flame.livejournal.com]

[tiny smile] Yeah.
