hellofist. Fifth Unused Utility Belt | Video and Spam, backdated to late last night

[It's late, it's been dark for hours and she's pretty sure everyone else is sleeping, but Cass can't. It's not really a new thing, since generally crime fighters are out all night anyway, but the events of the port haven't helped much.

She's in her room when she turns the feed on, dressed in her Batgirl costume except for the cowl and gloves. She feels more like herself, dressed this way.]

What are... tips, for sleeping? Or... to do, to make tired? Don't say reading.

Is anyone else... even up?

[He said she could visit when she wanted. She even told him it might be at night and he said it was okay. That's why Cass is at Merlin's door in the middle of the night, not knocking before she just goes right in. The door was unlocked, so maybe he remembered she said she'd visit. She doesn't look around before she closes the door behind her because she's not really sneaking, so getting caught isn't exactly on her mind.

It's dark inside, which is good. It means he's sleeping instead of staying up all night doing magic things, or whatever it is Merlins do in their spare time. She makes her way to his bed, then climbs onto it to sit beside him and poke him in the shoulder.]

Hi, Merlin.

Hi Arthur.

[She's glad to see his face, to see him up and looking well.]

I'll be fine. Just... can't sleep, sometimes. You?

[He's glad to see you too, weird friend.]

Just thinking. Lost track of time.

Bad thoughts? Or good ones?

[She'd much rather focus on what's going on with Arthur than her own things right now.]

A mix of both.

Must be... confusing. Can I help?

[Can you fix his life so that he can have his father, his sister, and his wife all at the same time and everyone gets along?]

Do you have magic where you're from, Cass?

[She can sure as hell try? Does punching until everyone cooperates count?]

Not like Merlin's. But kind of similar. Merlin's is better.

[That depends on who's getting punched.]

What do you mean 'kind of similar'?

[Probably not Guinevere, at least.]

People who... move things, make fires from nothing. Bigger things, sometimes.

[He'd be upset if you punched Uther, but you can punch Morgana.]

How is that different from Merlin?

Sometimes, they have to... speak backwards. It's weird.

Weirder than being a bat? [He's teasing her :c]

[She sees that, and she likes it.]

Mmm... maybe, a little weirder. Not weirder than... kings being friends with me.

[Because seriously, if you had told her that somewhere down the line that someone like her would be on the receiving end of gentle teasing from a king who liked her, it would have been nothing but blank stares. And probably accusations of lying, too.]

[He'd have done the same. Plus, laughing forever. Look at all the growth in the room right now.]

I think there are stranger things.

[Just so proud of him, really.]

Definitely. Should see... the bad guys, from home. Man made of clay. Giant crocodile man. Very weird.

[...]

I worry about you going back there.

[She smiles and would try to hug him or at the very least, hold his hand if they were face to face right now.]

Shouldn't. One day, you can... see me fight. Won't worry, after that.

But... thank you.

[You dress up as a bat and fight crocodile people. He's going to worry no matter what.]

I'd like to see you fight.

We could spar, sometime. You can see... up close.

Is it common for women to fight in the future or is that simply a trait of the ones that end up here? [Cause we don't have women knights in Camelot.]

[Well maybe you should, Arthur.]

Yes. Not as many girls, but... still enough. Not rare.

[Not that would make camping with the bros really uncomfortable.]

We'll spar tomorrow if that's alright.

[Uncomfortable? Or with suddenly improved scenery?]

Okay. Wear armor, wouldn't want to... hurt a king.

[Someone is teasing you now.]

[No it's a boys only club :|]

It would be treason if you did.

[But that sounds really dumb.]

So? Still worth it.
