Room 325, Saturday Morning

[bigdamndestiny]

Merlin didn't remember last year with the children. Well, he did, but he was trying very hard to repress it, so...

He didn't remember.

So, he clinging to Arthur not unlike some sort of aquatic creature. Because it was comfortable for him at least.

Rosemary looked confused. "Sure. Why wouldn't I be?"

... yes, she was one of those kids.

She really, really was.

"Would you like to help clean?" Oh, that was a bad idea.

"I wouldn't mind," Rosemary said, looking around the room.

"What can I do? I'm not s'posed to touch Uncle Arthur's stuff usually. Can I use magic?"

Dad would sometimes let her, for things like this. Mom was persnickety.

"...you have magic?" Merlin, don't be so excited. "Like your mother or like me?"

[wee-n-majik.livejournal.com]

"Kind of like both of you?" Rosemary said with a little shrug. "I can do some little stuff without thinking about it the way you can, but Mom's teaching me her way and I'm getting better. I can do charms and stuff now."

"Very good! How about... you help pick up some of the clothing?"

A beat.

"Stay away from the bed, though. He's... very particular about it."

Yes.

Rosemary looked at Merlin askance for a fraction of a moment. She might have had an idea what kind of relationship her dad and Uncle Arthur had, but if he wanted to make excuses to keep her away from the bed --

Ew. Not that she'd say that.

"No problem," she said breezily, and started gesturing, gathering the clothes into a neat pile through telekinesis. "What are you going to do?"

"You're very good at that," Merlin replied, very, very carefully shoving anything incriminating under the blanket on the bed. "I'll take care of the rest, yeah?"

"Okay!" Rosemary said, beaming from the compliment as she went about her work.

She was going to give everybody diabetes any day.
