[Merlin casts a striking figure. His robes are eye-catching, a spot of brightness in an ailing landscape. For Mikuni, who can't quite get comfortable in his assigned quarters (which, for all of their relative comfort, just aren't at all like home), a quick look outside provides something far more interesting to investigate than the insides of these stone walls.]
[But by the time he's made his way to the outskirts of the Temple, the figure in white is gone. Which--he thought he kept an eye on it. Puzzled, Mikuni squints out into the darkness, arms crossed over his chest as his tail twitches nervously.]
[And then there's a snore. Mikuni lets his head fall back to look up into the branches above--not the most dignified look he's ever worn, but it certainly gets the job done. There are those robes again.]
. . . I could shake you onto the ground right now, if I wanted to. [It's said with a smile, but he sort of means it.]
