Log;


Charlie was married. Charlie McGee, the girl who couldn't get close to anyone back home for more reasons than she thought fair, found someone in the City to marry and that someone was, of all people, Merlin.

The ceremony itself had been nothing short of stunning, right in the center of Xanadu and even though she won't admit to it later (Except to Merlin because he had the best view of it), she teared up a few times during the ceremony. When it came time for vows, she was nervous, hands shaking slightly but when they were finally announced as husband and wife and Charlie could kiss Merlin, she suddenly felt so incredible about everything. All nervousness was gone and all she could feel was ridiculously happy.

Now at the reception, food and cake courtesy Rapunzel (And the dress, too), Charlie was busy speaking to guests and enjoying one of the most surreal moments of her life.


[ooc: there will be several threads to tag into in the comments, a pre-wedding one if anyone wants to say hello to charlie or merlin beforehand. a post-wedding one at the reception. and there will be one where guests can interrupt merlin and charlie trying to have a moment to themselves.]

[She blushed again.]

Me? Oh. I just, um...

I was sort of thinking about Arthur.

[And there was more blushing.]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

...

[ Oh. Oh, dear. ]

Do you like him?

[livingmyths]

[And there would be even more blushing and a very shy nod.]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

You like him. I should have known!

[ Now that he thinks about it, wasn't that rather obvious? ]

[livingmyths]

Oh, but you really shouldn't say anything! He's a prince, you know, so it's silly to think that - well that anything - that it could be anything.

[And more blushing.]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

Oh, uhm. He doesn't care about that. He just pretends he does.

[ Oh, dear, does Arthur like Rain back then? It had been really obvious with Gwen but...

But didn't it seem like Arthur was practically flirting with her a while ago?

Oh, dear, oh, dear, god help him, what should he do. ]

[livingmyths]

He doesn't seem to care at all, but Merlin, you know! I'm not important or special or anything!

And he is!

[Her voice got very quiet.]

But I really like him anyway.

[destinedtobeunpopular]

Of course he is.

[ He smiles and puts a hand on her shoulder. ]

But so are you.

[livingmyths]

[She looked up at him with a sweet sad smile and shook her head.]

Oh Merlin. You're very very nice, but I think maybe you don't understand so much about princes.

I'm just a not so good girl who lived on the streets and did bad things to try and help the children. I'm... I'm sort of dirty.

[It made her sad to say it and she knew that everyone here felt that she wasn't bad or dirty because of the things she'd felt she had to do, but she still felt she was deep down.]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

[ He shakes his head, and raises a hand to rub Rain's shoulder a bit. ]

Rain.

I don't know how much I understand about princes, but I understand Arthur better than anyone here. If he liked you in return, he wouldn't care, because he doesn't like people who aren't worth it. And I'd like to think that I don't either.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

[livingmyths]

[Her smile was still sad.]

Thank you, Merlin. You're a very nice person.

I... hope he likes me too. I know he does at least a little or he wouldn't have asked me to come today.

[destinedtobeunpopular]

We both like you.

[livingmyths]

[Rain blushed and ducked her head.]

Aw...

[destinedtobeunpopular]

And that's the truth, I'm not just trying to be nice.

[livingmyths]

Thank you, Merlin. I believe you.

And you always know just what to say to make me feel good.

I'm so glad you found someone special to make you happy.

[destinedtobeunpopular]

[ He ducks his head as well. ]

Thanks.

[livingmyths]

[And then she was beaming at the sight of someone coming.]

Oh, there's Arthur! You, well, I should probably let you go back to see Charlie.

[Subtle Rain is not so very subtle.]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

[ A chuckle. All right, then. ]

Okay. We'll talk again.

[ Slight raise of an eyebrow, because that actually means he's not going to drop this Arthur thing. ]

[livingmyths]

Okay. See you, Merlin!

[Rain is totally oblivious to the eyebrow thing as she's too focused on Arthur's imminent arrival.]
