On the Road in the Brecon Beacons, Wednesday

[bitchprince]

Arthur was still driving. He had yet to cause any accidents or collisions, although he'd probably killed his fair share of overconfident birds by now.

He wasn't, after all, going to stop driving because of a mad pigeon or something.

But nevermind that.

Driving around the countryside was getting to be oddly relaxing, once one got the hang of it.

"Can't cook with that," Merlin shot back.

"Can keep the inside of the tent warm with that," Arthur returned. "Anyway, I was going for a hunt as soon as I got the tent up. Ask the girls to gather the wood."

That would end well.

"..." Merlin was thinking the same. "You can ask them."

"Are you still terrified of Katchoo?"

Re: 'Camping Ground'

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"You're not?"

Re: 'Camping Ground'

[bitchprince]

Arthur snorted. "Why would I be?" he asked, stepping away from Merlin to shove another line into place now that his original plan had been derailed. "She's loud, but she's mostly harmless."

"And she's vicious like Lady Morgana."

Re: 'Camping Ground'

[bitchprince]

"No, Morgana sneaks up on you from behind," Arthur pointed out, helpfully. "Katchoo merely attempts to stab you from the front. It's easier to see it coming."

"Uh huh," Merlin replied dryly, scooping up a few twigs.

"And she overshoots half the time so she's just ranting at thin air in hysterics," Arthur continued, pacing around the tent to get to the last couple of lines. "Honestly. You need to toughen up about these women, Merlin."

Re: 'Camping Ground'

Merlin shot him a look. "I can handle women just fine."

Re: 'Camping Ground'

[bitchprince]

"Yes, that's why you piss yourself every time Katchoo sends you a stray look." He kneeled down to the ground to fasten the next line.

"Handled worse," Merlin replied.

Re: 'Camping Ground'

[bitchprince]

"By running away, you mean?"

Re: 'Camping Ground'

Merlin raised an eyebrow at him.

Re: 'Camping Ground'

[bitchprince]

Arthur looked back, utterly unrepentant. "Really now."

Re: 'Camping Ground'

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"More than you have."

Re: 'Camping Ground'

[bitchprince]

"Ran away from women?" Arthur shot him a shit-eating grin. "Yes."

Re: 'Camping Ground'

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"Sophia," Merlin replied in a sing-song.

Re: 'Camping Ground'

[bitchprince]

"Hardly comparable!"

Re: 'Camping Ground'

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"And just why is that?"

Re: 'Camping Ground'

[bitchprince]

"She used magic," Arthur said, immediately.

Re: 'Camping Ground'

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"Which is why I didn't have a problem fighting her," Merlin replied. "Katchoo is--normal. Ish."

Re: 'Camping Ground'

[bitchprince]

"Oh," Arthur said, dryly, "So it's only the ordinary women that terrify you."

Re: 'Camping Ground'

Merlin shrugged. "I wouldn't want to get into an actual fight with someone who couldn't defend themselves."
