Date & Time: Noon, March 22nd
Location: Outside the apartments
Characters: Merlin & Oz
Summary: ...Merlin's cooking brings the nobles to the yard?
Warnings: T for technological difficulties


[Some time's already passed since Merlin's first day in the city, and he's grown used to the odd looks he draws on what feels like a daily basis. It's not surprising, when he goes out of his way to avoid the strange technology built into the city. Which is how you end up with a certain warlock crouched outside the apartment building, carefully tending to the fire that he's cooking stew over. Yes, a real cooking fire.

While Merlin would have preferred moving further from the building, the constant rain keeps him fenced in quite efficiently. He glances up at the small awning keeping him and his fire sheltered from the light drizzle, pleased that he doesn't have to run through heavier rain to reach the building's entrance. The aroma wafting from the stew tell him it's done; after a furtive glance around, he silently casts a spell to keep the food warm and then puts out the fire.

He hopes Arthur and the others are hungry--he's made quite a lot this time.]

( oz enjoys being able to go out and about this city, even on his own - something that would've been impossible in his own world. he is, after all, considered a decade dead by most peoples' estimations, to say nothing of the risk of being attacked by baskervilles, eager as they are to drop him back into the abyss. earlier this month, it had seemed like he might lose that freedom even here - but things had managed to settle down somewhat quietly in the end.

he'd been returning from a trip to the market when he paused in front of the housing building. something....nearby, smells delicious, warm aroma wafting unmistakably. through the chill. he follows the smell until, after just a moment, he happens upon someone crouched over a...pot? )

Did you make that?

[dragonspeak]

[Oh look, a stray.

Merlin glances up, smiling. He gives the pot another few stirs before he finally stands up.]

Yeah, just finished, actually. The rain makes it a bit difficult to get the fire going, so it's lucky I found this place.

[He gestures up at the awning.]

( a fire? - and then it occurs to him, of course, cooking outside. it's not something he would've thought of or tried personally, but the modern appliances are strange enough for him - and he can imagine it'd be a lot worse for anyone from a time before. )

Wow! It smells delicious.
