[Today Merlin is hard at work. This is, really, nothing new at all. In fact, he's always working. Do this, do that, go here, go there--

He's not bitter. Really. ...Sigh.

Anyway, he's sitting on the ground with a few pairs of boots around him. A wooden basin of murky, sudsy water is next to him and a glass jar of some sort of wax substance in front of him. He is tending to the boots with care and making sure they are good and clean. He seems very involved with his work and despite being tired of chores, he's humming.

A few of the boots have holes and tears but he has a patch kit nearby, too. Merlin has it all covered. He's a good servant, after all.]

[He notices and pushes some boots aside, smiling shyly.] Yeah, go ahead. Uhm, how are you?

All's yar.

[HE HAS SUCH A CUTE SMILE.

Er. That is to say. River sits down, all graceful-like. Being a genius dancer pays off when it comes to talking to cute boys, apparently! All the instincts for not tripping over yourself or something are already there.]

[He smiles a bit and laughs.] I think I'm getting better with learning with you, you know?

Natural progression of empirical data. [Beam! And then she glances at the boots. And wrinkles her nose a little. Ew.]

You're busy.

[He follows her gaze and nods.] Yeah, I know. Not exactly nice, eh? I get to muck the stables when I'm done.

But there's horses.

[All hopeful-like. SHE LIKES HORSES. MAYBE HE LIKES HORSES TOO :D?]

[He laughs.] Horses, yeah. The royal horses. They're the best, you know. They're pretty much spoiled.

[SHE WISHES TO MEET THESE HORSES spoiled or not.]

Horses don't get airs.

[OR MAYBE THEY DO. Maybe he has to introduce her to them to make sure!]

[He laughs.] If I figure out a way to show you them, I will.

[She has a ridiculously gleeful and shy grin, and even ducks her head a little. AWWW.] Xièxie.
