bitchprinceSo apparently Karla 'wasn't feeling too well' and 'needed some time away from it all' and whatever other rubbish Merlin had been spouting. Arthur still thought this was the worst bloody idea since that time he shot that unicorn. No good would come of it.
In the end, Merlin had insisted, and in the end, Arthur had very grudgingly capitulated, but not before setting up a list of rules for the little witch that reached roughly the size of a small mountain. 'Do not spend more than ten hours a day in the castle', for example, and 'only speak when spoken to' and 'for god's sake, do NOT do that thing you do, you know the one I'm talking about'.
There was also something in there about the proper cut and hemline of servants' dresses, just in case she decided to try and tempt any of the knights. (He had compromised on the list! Look, wear a shapeless sack had been scratched out! As had pretend to be a bag of potatoes!)
Arthur liked being thorough.
Which was also why he'd invited two other people who had a bit more experience dealing with these issues. Just to be certain.

Date: 2011-02-05 03:49 am (UTC)She shared a mischievous smile with Katchoo at that though. "Isn't that a shame?" she asked with utter insincerity. "But it's not like I want to break the other rules, prohibiting me from using magic or technology."

Probably to the north, Karla.
