Lis'sa meets the squires inside the laboratory, behind its "Biohazard" labelled doors. She doesn't really offer much of a greeting, or even introduce herself - just waits inside the strange multi-storied library section until everyone is gathered, and then instructs them to follow her up the steps.  A great deal of models are suspended from the ceiling that look like space age designs for jet planes, cars, boats, and any number of other things. There are other objects that are much more inexplicable: a giant silver ball, suspended by several rods, for example.

There's another set of doors at the end of the balcony, and she swipes an access card through a reader besides them. They depress with a space age his. revealing a clean white laboratory, with rows and rows of tables and lab equipment set up. Numerous knights buzz around in white lab coats, working under microscopes and on computers, conferring over a number of projects.

"This way," she instructs simply, not sparing the lab a second glance, heading for a door on the left hand side of the room.  She presses a hand against the panel there, and the red light changes to green, unlocking the door for everyone's access.

Beyond is a very long room, with rows of labelled cases and cabinets with transparent glass revealing what's inside.  Lis'sa steps crisply to the other side of the large stainless steel table.

[That gets a hearty laugh from Riddick. He thrusts out a hand towards Merlin, grinning toothily.]

Richard B. Riddick. Yeah, I'm not usually much of a talker. Must've put something in the water.[He leaves out the "escaped convict, murderer," part of the sentence that's usually tacked onto the end of his name. No need to scare everyone off right away.

Lol and I love how Riddick's terrible low rolls mean that he doesn't recognize the Arthur/Merlin names, legends, etc at all.]

[servant]

I've been told that I talk too much. The only one who might be able to outmatch me is Gwaine.

[Merlin shakes his hand before carefully placing his gun back into its case. And he rather likes talking to someone without having to address the 'you're the Merlin' question.]

Maybe you just save your talking for something important. Like...helping a fellow Knight not shoot themselves with modern weapons.

[lightblindbadass]

[Riddick shrugs again, watching Merlin to make sure he puts the gun away correctly. He considers the boy's theory about his not talking unless it was important, which was true to a point. Usually there just was never anyone around him he wanted to talk to. Which is why his conversations get so awkward so fast because he doesn't know how to... carry on with real talk like a human with others. Him talking this long with somebody was bound to lead to awkward moments.

Like this one.]

Usually I'd be all for someone else shooting themselves if it got them outta my way. [There's a brief pause in which he realizes what he just said, knowing that he meant it but that things were different here and now for him. Maybe he should... add that.]

'Course it's different now, working with you people.

[servant]

[Merlin glances over at him. Maybe knights were different where he's from. After a moment he huffs a soft laugh.]

Call me selfish, but I'm rather glad that it is. Hopefully I won't be in your way though. We're...brothers-in-arms.

[He glances around at the others, and then asks one of those questions that might make someone want to shoot him.]

Are the girls still our brothers? Wouldn't they be more like sisters-in-arms?

[lightblindbadass]

[That question gets another roll of laughter from Riddick as he throws his head back for a few healthy gawffs. He throws his arm around Merlin's shoulders, turning him so he faces the room more fully so Merlin can see all of the "girls" in question while they were in action.]

First, careful 'bout calling any of them girls. They might hack off a precious part you'd sorely miss. 'Specially that one. [He says this as he nods towards Kat. And Buffy.]

I dunno, I think calling them that might be okay, I'd think they'd appreciate being called a Sister-In-Arms better than Brother. [He shrugs, thinking it sounds fine to him. He doesn't know anything about ladies and their "delicate natures." Or what sets them off. Good luck with this one Merlin. ]

[servant]

Oh. Right.

[And he pales a little. Because he would sorely miss that part. He's grown rather...attached to it. Merlin nods as Riddick speaks, taking special note of the girls women in question.]

I'll let you know what I find out. There's no sense in both of us suffering their wrath. [Merlin grins over at him. With his luck, Kat will say one thing and Buffy another, and Merlin will be forever mixing them up.]

[lightblindbadass]

[Riddick snorts, chucking Merlin in the arm jokingly.]

Gonna take one for the team, eh? Yeah, let me know how that goes for you. Maybe I'll watch, actually. That could prove entertaining.

Make sure you come to weapons training with that, I could give you some pointers so you don't shoot yourself in the eye. [He nods at the gun case, still chuckling.]

[servant]

Yeah, I'll be sure to.

[Merlin grins back at him. He might just need it.]

[lightblindbadass]

[Riddick claps him on the back once more for good measure, then turns and takes his own case before heading out to the training area. He speaks over his shoulder as he goes.]

See ya around, kid.
