Dojima-Montague Apartment, Tokyo, Wednesday Morning

Romeo's nineteenth birthday started with a package from his father containing a collection of Lord Byron's works, a dagger that was about twice as elaborate as anything Romeo had any business carrying, and a letter that suggested -- in a polite, backhanded, and elaborate way -- that Romeo was missed and should make it his business to visit Verona sooner rather than later.

There was also a large box of chocolates. They were good. Romeo ate the caramels as his breakfast. He should have been reading about the equilibrium point in supply and demand, but that kept turning into perusal of the poetry. Really, the poetry struck him as more relevant.

[OOC: For the girlfriend, or for birthday emails/calls/texts/homing pigeons.]

"I'll let him know," he said, dryly. Really? Because Arthur had so many fascinating opinions on the topic. "How is your Dojima?" he said, instead, and... tried not to think about that being the next question after the whole thing about how Merlin was doing.

"Well, I hope your birthday celebrations are up to snuff." Hey, he was making a good effort to sound like he'd actually known, there. "Get a bottle of wine in my name; I'll reimburse you next time we meet."

Arthur rolled his eyes. "That hardly matters any." Father had always gone a little funny on his birthday; it wasn't exactly Arthur's favourite day of the year.

"Romeo, I know you people seem to be convinced you can argue with me, but I expected better of you," Arthur said, the back of his head idly thunking against the wall behind his bed. "If you don't accept this, I will be forced to send you some in the mail, and do we really want to deal with the expenses of cross-dimensional traffic?" Beat. "Although investing in that might help the current economy..."

Nerd.

"I think we can both agree it would be less effort if you got the wine yourself and let me pay for it," he replied, "Although now the mail does sound like an interesting prospect."

Clearly, he was very clever.

Well, then it was entirely on Romeo's head if he found himself winding up with too much expensive wine on his doorstep within, say, ten working days.

"Incoming," he said. "Outgoing will be a concern once I manage to get those horses for Reno." Still a work in progress.

... No, that would have been a little much even for Arthur at his dirtiest.

"No. Merely curious, for the moment. You mentioned you've been sending Reno some things."

"It should," he agreed. "He sounded pleased when I last saw him."

Arthur's mouth twitched slightly. "I should hope," he said, "That if Fandom allows us to go home already, there may be room for mail between our worlds yet."

He had no idea if Merlin could make the phones hold out.
bitchprince: (look out above?)

"Father, there has been a sighting of a terrible beast at the edge of our borders," Arthur said, after a thoughtful pause. "They say it has the head of a lizard, and is at least the size of two homes back to back. Terrible business."

If he wasn't working, of course.

"No, I'd have to take the knights," he said, with the air of a man more than used to sneaking around his father. That was a topic he wasn't about to go into, though, because that way laid headaches and heartache. "And Morgana would have to insist on going to help calm the townspeople; I'd just have to make sure I only brought the most loyal of my knights."

Dinadan, for one, even if he was a pain in the neck.

There was a short silence.

"Don't be ridiculous," he said, eventually.

That was the sound of a million daddy issues, ladies and gentlemen.
bitchprince: (just naturally rude and insensitive)

"Well, what can I say, I'm good at improvisation," he snapped.
