Merlin would, for the second morning in a row, be disturbed up by an insistent bird pecking at his door. This time, however, it was not one of Sir Thomas's "borrowed" owls, but Fede, Alainn's ever-so-charming hawk. When he opens the door to receive his guest, Merlin would be quickly assaulted by a lot of feathers to the face as she invites herself in, swoops through his room and to his dresser, where she proceeds to hop around apparently in search of something.

When she finds this certain item she somehow manages to pick it up and fly it over to Merlin and drop it into his hands, landing on his shoulder. He would notice a piece of parchment tied to her leg where, upon reading it, it would say "Press the Green Button now!"

The phone (cuz that's what it was that Fede had found for him) would start to buzz in his hand, all the different lights and buttons on it suddenly glowing, though there was thankfully only one Green Button. Now, banking on the fact that Merlin won't drop and break the phone, all he has to do is press the mysterious Green Button and find out what this could possibly be...

When he starts out of the room, Fede takes that opportunity to hop off his shoulder, leading the way to the lounge like a boss. When he rounds the corner into the lounge it would be to find Alainn munching away on a big red apple, sitting on the back of one of the over-stuffed couches with her feet up on the seat cushions.

Fede glides over her head to land on the open window sill, the brisk breeze blowing inside putting a light chill in the air. Alainn smiles when she sees Merlin walk in, then hops off the couch and walks towards him quickly.

"I forgot I'd have to tell ye to turn the phone off as well. I guess that's what we're here for today anyway, right? To show you the technological ropes, as it were!" She reaches out for his phone, picking his hand up with hers and showing him the red button to push.

"Green for on. Red for off. It applies to mostly everything, actually, so that's something to remember."

"Green on. Red off. Got it." Merlin nods, looking from the phone to Alainn. "Is that your breakfast? You should let me cook you something better sometime." Maybe after the lesson. Though he gets the feeling by the time he learns anything of significance about technology, it'll be closer to suppertime.

"Did you know any of this stuff before or did you learn it since coming here?" He remembers Bancroft saying something about trees, and Merlin's pretty sure that phones don't grow on them.

"Oh, no this is my mid-morning snack, that's all. Though, I will never turn down an offer for someone to make me breakfast for a change! I think that would be lovely." She takes another bite of the apple, finishing it off as he asks his next question, shaking her head as she swallows the last bit, then throw's the core in the garbage.

She leads the way back to the couch, sitting down and pulling her knees under her so she is more kneeling in the corner, gesturing for him to make himself comfortable as well while she answers him.

"No, I had to learn everything when I was in Ireland. I honestly didn't remember a thing, I mean I knew the basics like how to get dressed and what things were. But for the rest I had to be taught, or learn on me own."

"It's a very strange feeling to not remember anything, and yet to know when you've never done or seen something before, like an electric light-bulb." A wistful look comes over her face as she looks down at her hands, a tender smile crossing her features when she looks back up at him.

"I didn't even know my own name."
