In lieu of Verity Kindle, you've reached her Forge. But if you leave a message, I'll be sure to get back to you!

... Pardon?

Really, it's nothing. I just don't know a lot of women with your particular hair colour, so I thought I'd make sure the "missing woman" from a recent broadcast wasn't you. Obviously it's not.

Though while I've got you, a favour?

Oh, yes, I see. No, I am not in the custody of the plague doctor.

Of course. What can I do for you?

If I...

If for some reason I was. Incapacitated again, in any way, or if I left Anatole...

[ read: IF I DIED HORRIBLY. ]

Could I ask you to look after Merlin for me? He gets a bit....

[She frowns and looks for a moment as if she might protest. But in the end, she just raises her chin slightly.]

Gladly.

Though I do hope you're not planning on being incapacitated again any time soon.

[It's a half-hearted attempt to lighten the mood again. She knows he has no more choice about what happens here than anyone else does.]

No. [ he sighs. ] No.

I should have asked this of someone before there was a first time. I'm not sure he ate, that whole week.

[ How does I light. ]

[She looks off to the side a little, not quite at him.]

I wish I had been in a better state to look after him then. How heartbroken he was. He's so dear, I know it must have struck him very deeply.

Yes.

Well. Thank you.

No problem.

[She shakes her head. Time for a subject change, not that she really expects this one to end up being much lighter...]

Did you ever get to read that poem you asked for?

No. I'm reading a play at the moment.

Oh? Which play?

It's called "The Tempest". Have you read it?

I have! I enjoyed it very much. The playwright is actually rather celebrated where I come from.

How are you liking it?

It's all right. I liked Hamlet better.

Wish I could see it, but I don't think anybody's ever put on a play here.

That's a shame. I've seen some fantastic productions of both. The Tempest can be especially impressive to see on stage. And all the characters are a bit easier to keep track of in Hamlet when they have faces to go with the names.

It's rather sad that there's no theatre company here, really. I'm sure there's a wealth of plays from all the different cultures that have been brought here. More than enough to keep a troupe in new material for a long time.

I don't know much about it, but I'd fund something like that, were there people interested.

[ Arthur wants to be a producer~! ]

I wonder if there's anyone here who would be interested in acting...

[Oh Arthur. Giving her silly ideas about going into ~theatre~]

I bet Isley'd be good. Tonks. Asellus. And perhaps Sebastian would surprise us all.

I don't think I know most of those names. Though I'd believe it of Sebastian. He seems to be rather full of surprises.

Quite. Well, if you asked over the network people might prove interested.

Perhaps that is something to consider... It could be a lot of fun!
