It does. [He does so love gifts.] Is this just what you do here? Make things for people with idle fancies? 'Cause I'm into that. That's nice.

[courtmagic]

Not all the time, but when I get the inclination, who knows what I'll end up with? It beats lamenting our plight on this spaceship or going to try and batter down every locked door there is.

[plain and simple, he had the motivation. it's not like he can dream away the time in these uncomfortable cots they're dealing with.]

Better to do something a little more productive.

[mollymocked]

I'm always a fan of staying active, rather than standing still. [He rocks back on his heels.] And there's far too much standing still going on here. I don't like it. It feels like we're just waiting to be attacked while we've got our trousers down.

[courtmagic]

So, if you had the choice, what would you do?

[the question's flung out carelessly, but Merlin's eyes are keen, watching for the reply.]

[mollymocked]

Aside from just up and leave since this doesn't feel so much like our problem? [He's gonna have to adapt to the fact that everything in the Circle is now His Problem, but this is only his first mission. He's okay with helping people, but solving a mystery with no carrot at the end is kind of irritating.] Find whatever's causing all the trouble and get rid of it before it tries to get rid of us.

[courtmagic]

Ah, but it is your problem now. That's the business of saving worlds. Things end up your problem when you're in the thick of it and you have to solve that despite it seeming unrelated. Win a king's favor, stop the wyverns menacing the countryside, and wrap it all up by ensuring the army commander has his favorite teapot. And somehow, that fixes things.

[he shrugs, clearly unbothered by the idea of saving things with no tangible reward.]

[mollymocked]

[Molly just kind of slow-blinks.] And have all of those things happened within the Circle or just to you, specifically? Out of curiosity. I'm actually really impressed.

[courtmagic]

All to people I know.

[or observed, which is the same thing.]

[mollymocked]

Truly you have a fantastical social life. [Yeah, he's a bit awestruck, but in a "I feel like some of this is bullshit, but I'm impressed by how you came up with with that kind of bullshit, so I've cycled back around to being amazed" sort of way.]

[courtmagic]

I think that applies for us all, being here in the Circle - just look at the spectrum of noble souls we've got all geared up to save worlds.

[mollymocked]

I have never been called a noble soul in my life, but you know what? I'll take it. Not so certain about the "geared up" part yet, but I'll get there.

[It's not like he's got any other option. He can either go back to being dead or do something with his third shot at life.]
