[ Once the other is close enough, he will lift a hand up to hover over those petal or feather like earrings? Not quite touching, but nearly. ]
It did say you were the Merlin. Didn't think that meant you weren't a human. [ Just going to lower his hand to curl it under his own chin in thought ]
I'm sure you've already heard from many about your captivating appearance. If you must know though it would be your eyes. There's a look about them that is pretty interesting.
[ Merlin's eyeing that hand, smiling widening a little as he almost touches his petal-like earrings. ]
You're the first one who seems to recognize my legacy at all. But, that's right. I'm not anything like you humans. [ ... ] But, my eyes, hm? I don't blame you for being struck by their appearance. I think maybe I'm a little embarrassed, hearing that from such a handsome man.
...By the way, if you did want to touch my flowers, I'd allow you. Consider it a little gift for the compliment~
[ They're not about to come off easy, either way, and he's not afraid of physical touch. ]
Well, actually, I was speaking to someone who spoke French, but didn't seem to ever have heard of Britain. Ah, well, anything is possible...strange worlds with familiar concepts, and still no connection except for yours?
And yes, I'm very embarrassed! Look at how bashful I am~
Maybe I'm like an innocent maiden who has forgotten what it's like to be complimented.
[ ...Merlin isn't blushing, though. So he is just being silly. He just has the kind of face that will make it clear when he is for real.
But at his next words, he's laughing, noting the wink as well. As Merlin has no shame, though... ]
Oh, is that the case? Hmm, well if you couldn't keep your hands to yourself, I wouldn't blame you. Though, I wouldn't blame you for having restraint.
Speaking of which, what do you think of our fellows? Do you think they'll have restraint? And our hosts too? I have wondered what might happen if they don't get what they want...
You mean Mr. Conques? That is interesting to know. [ Hmm ] If it helps at all, I'm a bit of an odd case and happen to be from two different worlds. One with the knowledge of Britain and the rest of Earth, and one without.
[ There's a twinkle of mirth there as he says the innocent maiden part. ]
You're the very image of bashful. If it gets to be too much, I will take responsibility.
[ Whatever that entails. ] Same goes if I don't have any restraint.
Honestly speaking, I'm not sure if I would trust everyone to show restraint when it comes to what our hosts expect. I am rooming with Kanon after all. [ And she will probably stab him or someone soon. ] Our hosts may have measures in place in case things aren't going their way that we may not be able to resist. Especially since we still don't know much about them.
[ Merlin nods when Wang Lu makes the conclusion that he does. As for the interesting portion about knowing of Earth and another, though... ]
Oh? That's interesting. How'd you manage travel between two worlds?
[ And it is, perhaps, no surprise at all that Merlin keeps up the small charade of playfulness as he tacks on: ]
And I knew I could count on you! A wonderful gentleman to the end.
[ But, he will give nod at initial assessments. As fun as Kanon is, Merlin can easily tell she is one of those who would definitely be the first to cut a bitch if given a chance. ]
Hmm, well. I hope we can do something about it. Maybe make the measures get blown back at them, just like bam! Though, maybe that's not realistic too. Unless we can create some kind of device or spell that blocks whatever they come up with.
Not entirely sure of that myself. Don't think I died or anything, but I was reborn in another world with my memories.
[ Sometimes you're a surprise!isekai ]
Maybe I'll get the chance to show you how much of a gentlemen I can be.
It's worth trying it out just in case. We can try a spell out before moving on to the device. Think it'd be worth asking our hosts what their contingency plans are?
[ He means it! Suddenly being 'reborn' without having properly died? Merlin's going to...try to wrap his head around it? He hasn't actually heard of anything like that before. ]
I'd hope so! It's been ages since someone has shown me proper manners.
[ Wink. But, at the other man's words, his brows seem to come together as if he is in deep thought about something. ]
Yes...asking them about their contingency plans might work! I'm sure they'll hide some things, but maybe something will slip out? I don't think they're careless, but those two—they're arrogant, you know?
As a great wizard, coming up with a new spell isn't too hard. I'd just need some time. Knowing what they're capable of would be necessary as well...hmm...
We can talk more about my circumstances later. I'm more curious to hear about the great Merlin.
[ He'll offer him his arm. ]
Then let's make a date of this. Shall we take a stroll while we talk?
[ At least look some what like a date while they talk about their circumstances ]
It is usually the arrogant ones who love to brag. I am worried about where the arrogance comes from. [ Just how long has this Death Island been going on? ] Do let me know if you come up with something. I wouldn't mind seeing the show. Besides, would hate if something were to happen to you.
[ Merlin's voice is soft and teasing, but he will reach out, taking the arm in his. Dates are always fun, even if they are fake ones. ]
A 'date' will do just fine. We've more than our fair share of room so a nice little stroll.
[ The Mage of Flowers will walk, steps soft and gentle against the flowers crunching beneath their feet. ]
Arrogance always comes from an overinflated ego or sense of self-worth. But even then, those have their sources—people in a position of power who have such qualities believe that they have nothing to fear because of that 'strength'. For them to act like this even though we have a formidable group that has been kidnapped...they must be powerful indeed.
Haha, but I guess I'm not really all that worried. Maybe I just think I can count on some of you guys, is all.
[ ...He passes Wang Lu another smile, letting it trail off in his usual manner, and then looks out in front of their walking path. ]
...I'll let you know. I won't try to provoke them, I promise! But I should be able to glean something without dying. Though, nothing is guaranteed, I'm not a fan of getting hurt~
I do. Can you really blame me? In my world, the stories hardly do you any justice. Usually you're portrayed as a bumbling old man or even a skinny nerd. Unless you're hiding something from me under those robes.
[ There's a note of teasing there in his words. While he should be admiring the interesting bottle statues or fauna, his gaze keeps returning to the prettiest flower there, which is his companion. This place could have been romantic if it wasn't for the whole sacrifice and feeling of dread looming around the island. ]
We'll have to wait for a proper meal for anything more. I'm not an easy catch. [ He might be a little but Merlin doesn't need to know that. ]
There are some of us who seem dependable. Putting me to the side, because I know I'm amazing, there's Little Xiao and Temenos. I'm sure there's a few others. [ He's been in nerd study mode and neglected socializing as much as he should have so jury is still out on the others ]
Let me know if you figure something out. [ He won't provoke them he says. He should be able to glean something without dying... haha ]
If you keep talking to me like this, I might ask you to take responsibility for me losing control of my actions. That is, if you're really curious about what's under these robes.
[ ...He has admittedly been behaving himself, but at the end of the day, Merlin is one hell of a thot. The situation is dangerous enough that he's sure that propositioning people left and right would have unfortunately quite a turn-off, but man. ]
You're not an easy catch? Even if I wanted to have dessert early right now, just for fun?
[ HELP I'm sorry for him right now. ]
Wei Wuxian is dependable. Zelkov too. And not just because they're handsome. I bet Psyche is too, and hmmm...ah, Haruka as well.
Anyway, like I said, I will. Maybe I'll get everyone together for the little information session too for fun~
[ Merlin has been in...a mode. It isn't study mode just yet, but he's getting there. You know, by not being distracted by hot people or butting heads with one or two people due to his silly ego.
And yeah!! Should totally be fine. He'll be back to flirt with people for certain and not die a painful death in two days. It'll be fine. ]
I wouldn't blame you if you did lose control. I am pretty handsome. [ He'll give a wink. ] I'll take full responsibility if anything happens. [ There's a pause before he lifts up his free hand. ] I'll take most of the responsibility. You should share in some of it.
[ Sometimes life and death situations are a very good reason for thottery. Besides, there's still hope... at this time. ]
I wouldn't be a proper gentleman if we skipped to dessert out here.
A meeting would be good. We should discuss what everyone has learned about this place or our captors every chance we get.
[ It's fine. He's just taking a nap or visiting another island. ]
Mhm, maybe I will share in some of it, but I'm also a little irresponsible too. But, you know, there's something delightful about that too. So...how about it? Let's have some fun?
[ Merlin wants to see how far he can take this, especially since he can't help himself a little. Messing around is so simple. ]
How about somewhere more private, then? We can go out for something to eat, have some dessert, and then some extra~?
[ A hum escapes Merlin as if he's being thoughtful for a second, though. ]
I suppose Wednesdays would work for meetings? Temenos was smart to choose that day last time. So why not make it a habit?
[ Totally. At least they're...semi-talking strategy-ish at the same time as flirting? It's fine. ]
I would agree that there is something delightful about that. I will still blame you just a little bit because of how beautiful you are.
[ It is so simple and getting much more appealing as this goes on. Lifting up his hand to touch those petals carefully. ]
Someone's greedy. [ There's a considerate look. ] Maybe we should start with a taste first to see if we're hungry for a full course meal and dessert. [ Are they even talking about an actual meal ]
The middle of the week should be fine. Usually everything interesting happens in the beginning or the end. [ Sometimes both. ]
Hmm, in that case, I might just accept blame, then~
[ Letting him touch those petals closely, and in turn he reaches out with one hand to let fingers brush against the other male's cheek, until he teasingly lets them slide to underneath his chin. ]
Maybe I am greedy. But also maybe it's because I haven't had the chance to have my fill. But, as you're in agreement, a taste would be absolutely reasonable.
Mm, not to mention it looks like we've gotten our dates in mind. So, with that out of the way...
[ Merlin leans in closer, walking no longer on his mind. They've gotten the serious details hammered out...he wants to play around now. ]
[ Letting his eyes fall close for the moment as he feels the touch against his skin. Plans for keeping this just as a stroll are completely forgotten. It has been a while since he's had any contact like this that's been intentional. ]
You must be famished then. Are you going to be able to stop with just a taste then?
[ Opening an eye to peek at him. Moving his fingers from the floral to tangle in Merlin's hair. ]
Enough serious talk and on to play time? [ He searches his gaze as if to be sure that the other wasn't going to say just kidding. At that last question, he'll huff out a quiet laugh before closing the gap between their lips to give him a kiss. ]
Merlin wasn't lying when he said he hasn't had his fill just yet. The night is still young, and life is full of surprises. Why not live them to the fullest?
Better still when it seems Wang Lu is so very receptive, a soft chuckle escaping the mage's lips when the other is successful in helping bridging the other half of the gap between them, the kiss definitely sealed between the both of them. He shifts his other arm as well so that he can wrap both of them around the dark-haired male's waist; those fingers sifting through his hair are also nothing but a comfort.
The kiss is intimate, yet gentle; soft, but sweet—almost seamless in how he returns it, only pulling back for a moment, to answer one of his questions: ]
Yes, it's play time.
I'm also hardly sure if I'll be able to stop with just a taste. Are you alright with that, Wang Lu?
[ His words are a soft purr, as he leans slightly upwards with the intent to capture those lips again, albeit in a more passionate kiss. ]
There's a soft noise coming from his throat as he moves his other hand around Merlin to hover over the small of his back. Feeling those arms is all the encouragement he needs to put his hand there and pull the other closer.
A look of disappointment will flitter across his face for a moment as soon as the kiss ends. Then there's something of a smile. It's play time until someone actually catches feelings.
For a moment he'll rest his forehead against the other's. ]
I'm not going any where. I did say I'd take responsibility if you can't resist.
[ He'll meet the kiss, letting Merlin set the pace before adding more heat to it. Fingers trailing along his spine, feeling what he can through those layers. ]
Hearing the soft noise from Wang Lu brings him a level of higher excitement. With him so close, Merlin has no intention of pulling back all that far away. Not at all.
All fun and games until things get potentially serious, yes? Merlin has no concerns that such a thing will happen, though with Wang Lu's face also getting closer, it's all the more easier for him to admire his handsome features up close. ]
Mmm, good, good...
[ Words murmured into the kiss, even daring to nibble a little on the other's lip; the robes are very...typical, but Merlin's body isn't as thin as people might think of when a mage comes in mind. There are actually defined muscles present which are indicative of someone relatively athletic; though he has to pull away if only to shrug said robes. The robes pool on the ground, leaving him in just a black sleeveless shirt and pants—the presence of which will make it easier for wandering hands to feel him up. But Merlin will do the same to the other man—find where there are ways for his hands to sneak in through the other's layers of clothing to touch a bit more intimately, fingers hardly innocent in their movements. ]
[ It isn't like Wang Lu would get attached. No, nothing like that...
None of that matters really at this point in time. The only thing he's thinking about is chasing the feeling to see how far they both will go.
There's a grin at the nibble, and he'll move his hand from the other to let him take off those robes. It's a shame to see them on the floor, but that's quickly forgotten as everything else is at seeing what he's working with. Dragging his palm down Merlin's back to feel for the curve and down to the hem of the shirt to tug it up to get at the skin there.
His own robes are well... layered. He's wearing four or five layers. Huffing a laugh against Merlin's lips, before he shifts to kiss his along his jawline to his neck. Getting closer before he let's go to help shed off his outer layers at least. ]
As for how far they will go, well. Merlin is more or less incentivized to go as far as he can. Though this black shirt is skin-tight, it's fairly easy for Wang Lu's fingers to curl underneath the hem of the shirt, and touch along what is bare underneath. Almost like magic!
Feeling a hand against the skin, he can't help but smile, suppressing just barely a slight shiver. The kiss pressed against his neck doesn't help matters, and if his hands had also unclasped Wang Lu's 'belt', can Merlin be blamed? Ah, this is so wonderful indeed! He's glad they had an encounter out here. ]
Look at you! So many barriers until we're able to claim our respective prizes~
[ But as he watches Wang Lu shed off some of his outer layers, his expression turns mischievous, waiting with no amount of hidden anticipation for the other to take off some more of it. Though as he does so, something comes to mind, and a flurry of magic extends outwards to the area; now the garden is effectively walled off. Anyone trying to see what's happening will simply encounter a shield, and be unable to see past an illusion of a strange wall encircling the garden. But to them, it appears the garden is mostly the same.
Though, there is now suddenly conveniently a large king-sized bed for their usage that seems to have appeared from nowhere? Merlin is using his Item Creation/Construction skills and magic for good. ]
Wang Lu, how far will you let me go?
Edited 2023-05-29 21:22 (UTC)
dw ate my original tag and i didn't catch it until now
[ Starting to trace lazy circles against his bare skin as he nips the nape of his neck. There's another laugh from under his breath. ]
I do like making people work for it.
[ Lifting his head to look at Merlin and wiggle his brows at him. Thinking about saying something more, but it appears that his companion wants to take this to the next step. Giving a whistle as he sees the bed appear out of no where. ]
You just keep impressing me more and more. [ Closing the gap to press another kiss against his mouth followed by another. ]
[ Merlin's letting out a soft laugh of his own, the gentle touch to his skin from fingers that had slipped so sneakily underneath his shirt, and the attention placed against his neck finally causing heat to rise to his cheeks. ]
I like the idea of impressing a handsome man like you, just so you can praise me more.
[ He says, his voice easily sliding into a teasing tone, and then he sighs contently into the kiss which he endeavors to return eagerly, before sliding hands in a different position so he can help the other man out of the next layer. Words are then subsequently gently uttered against the other man's lips: ]
I want you to sleep with me. I think it'll be something we can both enjoy, Wang Lu.

week 1, thursday late evening, garden
It shan't take very long for Wang Lu to notice someone in the garden when he steps in...
The mage turns to face him, smiling mysteriously at him. ]
Oh? Were you looking for me?
[ Fufu, look at him saying this. It is a good opening line, though. ]
no subject
His steps do falter as he spots him before the corners of his mouth lifts. Hello there. ]
I am here to admire the art here and I would say you do count. [ Saying that without a hint of shame. ]
no subject
You're not one to mince words, are you?
[ Merlin looks in a good mood as usual, eyes creasing in amusement, and more than a touch of pride. But, then he moves to step on over to the other. ]
Humans do have a good eye for what to admire. What part of my appearance has captivated you the most, however~?
no subject
[ Once the other is close enough, he will lift a hand up to hover over those petal or feather like earrings? Not quite touching, but nearly. ]
It did say you were the Merlin. Didn't think that meant you weren't a human. [ Just going to lower his hand to curl it under his own chin in thought ]

[ They're not about to come off easy, either way, and he's not afraid of physical touch. ]
no subject
Are you actually embarrassed? You should be used to hearing such things.
[ Since he is pretty and there are people here who have eyes ]
Not sure if that will be a good idea. Might lead to wanting to touch other things. [ Giving a playful wink. ]
no subject
And yes, I'm very embarrassed! Look at how bashful I am~
Maybe I'm like an innocent maiden who has forgotten what it's like to be complimented.

There are actually defined muscles present which are indicative of someone relatively athletic; though he has to pull away if only to shrug said robes. The robes pool on the ground, leaving him in just a black sleeveless shirt and pants—the presence of which will make it easier for wandering hands to feel him up. But Merlin will do the same to the other man—find where there are ways for his hands to sneak in through the other's layers of clothing to touch a bit more intimately, fingers hardly innocent in their movements. ]

None of that matters really at this point in time. The only thing he's thinking about is chasing the feeling to see how far they both will go.
There's a grin at the nibble, and he'll move his hand from the other to let him take off those robes. It's a shame to see them on the floor, but that's quickly forgotten as everything else is at seeing what he's working with. Dragging his palm down Merlin's back to feel for the curve and down to the hem of the shirt to tug it up to get at the skin there.
His own robes are well... layered. He's wearing four or five layers. Huffing a laugh against Merlin's lips, before he shifts to kiss his along his jawline to his neck. Getting closer before he let's go to help shed off his outer layers at least. ]

As for how far they will go, well. Merlin is more or less incentivized to go as far as he can. Though this black shirt is skin-tight, it's fairly easy for Wang Lu's fingers to curl underneath the hem of the shirt, and touch along what is bare underneath. Almost like magic!
Feeling a hand against the skin, he can't help but smile, suppressing just barely a slight shiver. The kiss pressed against his neck doesn't help matters, and if his hands had also unclasped Wang Lu's 'belt', can Merlin be blamed? Ah, this is so wonderful indeed! He's glad they had an encounter out here. ]
Look at you! So many barriers until we're able to claim our respective prizes~
[ But as he watches Wang Lu shed off some of his outer layers, his expression turns mischievous, waiting with no amount of hidden anticipation for the other to take off some more of it. Though as he does so, something comes to mind, and a flurry of magic extends outwards to the area; now the garden is effectively walled off. Anyone trying to see what's happening will simply encounter a shield, and be unable to see past an illusion of a strange wall encircling the garden. But to them, it appears the garden is mostly the same.
Though, there is now suddenly conveniently a large king-sized bed for their usage that seems to have appeared from nowhere? Merlin is using his Item Creation/Construction skills and magic for good. ]
Wang Lu, how far will you let me go?
dw ate my original tag and i didn't catch it until now
I do like making people work for it.
[ Lifting his head to look at Merlin and wiggle his brows at him. Thinking about saying something more, but it appears that his companion wants to take this to the next step. Giving a whistle as he sees the bed appear out of no where. ]
You just keep impressing me more and more. [ Closing the gap to press another kiss against his mouth followed by another. ]
For the beautiful mage? As far as you'd like.

[ Merlin's letting out a soft laugh of his own, the gentle touch to his skin from fingers that had slipped so sneakily underneath his shirt, and the attention placed against his neck finally causing heat to rise to his cheeks. ]
I like the idea of impressing a handsome man like you, just so you can praise me more.
[ He says, his voice easily sliding into a teasing tone, and then he sighs contently into the kiss which he endeavors to return eagerly, before sliding hands in a different position so he can help the other man out of the next layer. Words are then subsequently gently uttered against the other man's lips: ]
I want you to sleep with me. I think it'll be something we can both enjoy, Wang Lu.
