The Crown Princess - Monday [Ship/Princess Cays, Bahamas]

[always-damp.livejournal.com]

Early in the morning, the cruise director came over the loudspeaker announcing the port of the day and some on-boat activities of interest. Those paying attention would learn that from 9am until 5pm, the Crown Princess would be docked in the lovely Princess Cays, Bahamas where guests were welcome to participate in glass-bottom boat, snorkeling, or beach excursions for a portion of the day. Adults were encouraged toward the Sanctuary on the Sun Deck for a more private way to relax away from the teens.

"Or, we may both go to the feast and you can pick what you like," Merlin suggested. "There was far more than anything that had at the school."

"Now why would I do that," Arthur asked, rhetorically, "If I have a perfectly good manservant to do it for me."

Merlin kicked water at him again. "Because then you'd get berries."

Arthur eyed him and his water-kicking. "Do you really miss the vegetables that much?"

"...a bit, actually," Merlin admitted with a cheeky grin.

Re: Beach Clamshell [2/23]

[bitchprince]

"Don't worry, Merlin," he said, "I'll arrange for plenty of time for you to get reacquainted when we make our way home."

"Oh, thank you, my lord. You're too kind!"

Re: Beach Clamshell [2/23]

[bitchprince]

"I am," Arthur said, with a nod, and picked up another seashell, "Far too kind, considering your appalling behaviour."

Re: Beach Clamshell [2/23]

Merlin stopped, looking back at him. He may have even had his hands on his hips. Yes, like a girl. "Which is why you're worth liking, Arthur."

Re: Beach Clamshell [2/23]

[bitchprince]

Abruptly, Arthur looked up from his seashell. "Well, that's kind of you," he said, warily.

Re: Beach Clamshell [2/23]

Merlin just grinned back at him, completely guileless and open for a moment before kicking water toward him again. "You really out to see the things out here. It's like flowers under the water with all the colors."

Re: Beach Clamshell [2/23]

[bitchprince]

"Don't go picking anything," Arthur said, shaking his head as he glanced back at the shell.

"It moves before you can get close," Merlin called back, looking back at the reef.

Re: Beach Clamshell [2/23]

"If there's one thing in this world I don't doubt, Merlin, it's your propensity for getting into trouble regardless of sense."

Re: Beach Clamshell [2/23]

"And here I thought it was you who never listened," He said, now pushing out to his waist in the water.

Re: Beach Clamshell [2/23]

[bitchprince]

"One of these days, I'll be able to stop reminding you of who you're talking to," Arthur said, firmly. "And then I've no doubt hell will freeze over."

Re: Beach Clamshell [2/23]

Merlin fell back, kicking his legs to float out a bit in the water before the waved pushed him toward the shore again. "I always know who I'm talking to!"

Re: Beach Clamshell [2/23]

[bitchprince]

"Then you have absolutely no excuse at all."

Re: Beach Clamshell [2/23]

Wiping salt water out of his eyes, Merlin ran his fingers through his hair to keep it from dripping. That was just painful.

"Did I need one, my lord?"

Re: Beach Clamshell [2/23]

[bitchprince]

"For blatant insubordination? I would say so," Arthur said, nodding as he thought of it. "Taking your eyes out with water is a brilliant idea, while we're at it."

Re: Beach Clamshell [2/23]

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"You'll run out of shells to toss my way eventually," Merlin said, trying that kicking back out against the waves bit again.

Re: Beach Clamshell [2/23]

[bitchprince]

"Not before I manage to take you out," he retorted.

Re: Beach Clamshell [2/23]

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"Haven't managed to hit me yet!"

Re: Beach Clamshell [2/23]

[bitchprince]

Arthur rolled his eyes and chucked the shell at Merlin's back with excellent precision, thank you. "You're annoying."

Re: Beach Clamshell [2/23]

"Oi! That's uncalled for!" Merlin called, reaching back to rub the spot he was hit.
