[She can reach. She has long arms, okay?]

Usually yes. Especially if you admit that. Better to seem slightly clueless than be obviously lost and appear a true fool.

[ Ah... another noodle. ]

Well, that wouldn't be a first. [ Just what kind of shady things has he done? Best not to ask. ] It's just been easier to ask for help here.

[Shoujo character, so yes, noodle.]

I imagine so, but you're getting the hang of the little things right? The shower's not still giving you problems is it?

[ Ah one of those, I see I see! ]

Still? [ Well, maybe the first time was a bit confusing, but-- ] Do you know how much easier it is to not have to fill up a huge tub to bathe properly? Most of us-- [ Actually no. Let's stop there. ] --um. Well. It's easier.

[Rei bursts into a quiet laugh and nods cheerfully.] I know exactly what it's like. And I know enough about the past to know that bathing wasn't an everyday occurrence for most people. Nothing to be ashamed of, it took a lot more work, but frankly I think indoor plumbing is the most important invention man's had since the wheel.

Oh it definitely took more work. The worst part is when you've been pelted with rotten fruit beforehand. Do you know how hard that is to clean off?

[ Maybe stop getting put in the stocks then, Merlin??? ]

It's a lot better here for that though.

Well, I don't know firsthand, but I have a good idea. I mean, I've seen what happens when people fall into garbage.

[Usagi...]

Tell me you don't have a lot of experience with that...

With garbage? No--No not that.

[ But the stocks??? Sadly, yes. Way too much, which is why avoids specifying that one. ]

Well, then you're better off than my best friend Usagi-chan.

[She's a mess, okay?]

Hopefully you didn't get covered in rotten fruit too often. But...how?

Sounds like you have a very interesting friend. [ No joke... ]

But um... [ He rubs the back of his head and gives Rei a sheepish smile. ] It depends, sometimes Arthur puts me in the stocks. Sometimes Uther. I think I have an issue with authority.

The stocks? [Blink-Blink.] Whyever would he go that far?

[WHAT DID YOU DO?]

[ WHAT DIDN'T HE DO... ]

I... [ He wants to say he probably should have kept his mouth shut and that she can forget this but instead he says. ] ...can't seem to be able to keep my mouth shut when it's necessary.

There is a disease like that, isn't there?

Ah...no. Unless you mean foot-in-mouth syndrome...

[Ah...heh...]

[ ........Rei. ]

Don't tell me there actually is?

No, that's sarcasm and a phrase. There's no such thing.

[Or believe me, Usagi and Minako would've been diagnosed with a terminal case years ago.]

[ He lets out a long breath at that, even puffing out his cheeks a little. ]

Probably for the best, that sounds disgusting.

[She snorts a laugh.]

Yes, idioms are often a little silly. I hope you don't mind me asking but...the stocks? Really? What did you say?

One of the reasons I can't really say all the details of but... I lied to the King for Arthur. Never doing that one again.

[ No, really... ]

Neglecting duties then backchatting about it was probably another time...

[ Is this really the wizard the world thinks so highly of... ]

[A young one, maybe. She sees a lot of Usagi in you, to be honest.]

Sounds like you're quite the troublemaker. Whatever are we going to do with you here?

[ Yeahhhhhh. Probably not all that surprising. ]

Hopefully not pelt me with fruit? [ He gives her a cheeky smile. ]

Well, that seems a waste of good fruit. So no, I don't think so.

[Speaking of...]

Actually, since I'm sure you've never had it, let's get out of here and go get a banana split. You'll like it.

[And it'll get your mind off the mask, and the stocks.]

[ It really is... though usually it isn't the good fruit that is used, but he keeps his mouth shut about that. All he can think of is what a banana split could possibly even be. ]

They have that here?

They do. Trust me, it's something not like anything you've ever had.

[Laughing lightly, she takes him by the hand and starts off...to ice cream and beyond!]

Oh I bet it isn't. The market itself has too many things I've never seen before.

[ He lets her lead him along, not really minding when it'll lead to another adventure of food testing. All of this beats pea soup, that's for sure. ]
