WHO: Merlin and Jenny Noble
WHAT: An evening in and conversation
WHEN: Recently
WHERE: His place.
WARNINGS: TBD
STATUS: Closed and Ongoing

Cooking as he was, Merlin always kept an ear open for the door. He was working to prepare some food, and also repairing a tea set, with a golden hue, whose sides bear an image or a young woman with brunnette hair. He smiled as the pieces slowly moved together, and paint rolled along it.

His cooking produced scents of hearty meats and vegetables, potatoes and stewed sauce. Already out was a tray filled with chocolate cake. He was looking forward to a nice quiet evening, really. Some days had definitely been fun of late, and he was quite ready for more.

	Jenny could smell the food from outside. This regeneration had a weakness for food, she was certain. She knocked politely and waited, as was human custom, but her stomach grumbled loudly. "Merlin," she said quietly, but certain he could hear her. "Open up, please? It smells delicious!" (Reply to this) (Thread)

	The door opened and Merlin turned toward her and it. "Enter, beautiful one." The moment she is inside, the door closes and she would see, without a doubt, that the inside is so very much bigger than the outside. His living room was large, lush, and with magical things everywhere. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jenny was distracted for just a tick from the delightful food smells. Her eyes were wide with wonder as she gazed around at all the details of Merlin's home. "It's bigger on the inside," and at that, she grinned. "Have you got Time Lord technology you haven't told me about?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It is, yes." He chuckled, then shook his head. "Nay, just magic, milady. I suspect that they are closer than one might think." He grinned and held out his hands to her. "How have you been?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"My Dad's got a ship like this. Bigger on the inside. Jack told me all about it," she grinned, taking hold of hands. "My bag is like it, loads of space."

Then she managed to focus on him without her eyes wandering in all directions; no, she focused all of Time Lord gaze on him. "I've been... concerned. I monitored your status from a safe distance. The coma business. I'm glad you returned safely." But she was hiding her guilt over not being able to do much of anything to help. Time-locked event and all. A matter of which she couldn't interfere.

	He lifted her hands and kissed them gently. He smiled at her, and nodded. "I did, and I will be fine, milady. Some things cannot be solved by even the brightest of minds, like that sexy brain of yours." he leaned in and kissed her forehead, then planted the lightest of kisses on her lips. "How have you been?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I could've solved it. It was just another puzzle," she commented quietly. "But Time Lords are occasionally locked from certain events. They have to take their course without our interference." There was a whine to her voice that indicated she didn't find it fair in the slightest. "Aside from being wracked with guilt? Same ol' Jenny." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Merlin grinned at her. "Maybe, maybe not. But I'm glad it turned out, anyway." He smiled to her and hugged her gently. "No guilt, young lady." He poked her lightly. "Even heroes fail." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I didn't fail," she huffed. "I didn't get a proper look at it. Time-locked event."

She poked him back. "This is trouble with taking on a companion. Sometimes I cannot look in on you, keep you safe. I can promise all I like, but my hands get tied by stupid rules that I don't get any vote on."

....she sounded Scottish enough. Already considering a Time Lord rebellion for freedom.

	"I'm saying... you don't know what would have happened if you had." Maybe she could figure it out, maybe not. Merlin sighed and went back to finishing the food. "You can't save everyone or everything, and you are not omnipotent, Jenny. You need to come to grips with that, too." (Reply to this) (Parent)
