*Malefica re-entered the kitchen after sending Gawain out on a mission.*
"Forgive my leave, I had some unattended business to see to."
*She sat down and looked friendly over at Snake.*
"So, Monsieur, did you enjoy your dinner?"

*Snake had currently been writing down something on a spare notepad but snaps to attention upon being addressed, pen and pad still in hand.*
"What? Oh, yeah, er, uh, it was good."

*Malefica smiled warmly back.*
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt. Are you working on the plans for the fortress?"
*When Merlin heard the word "plans", he came and sat down next to Snake, interested in the conversation.*

*Snake raises an eyebrow at Merlin's... odd choice of seating arrangement, but goes back to scribbling this down anyway.*
"Not like I've got much else to do."

*Merlin smiled back. He had never cared about seating arrangements, eremite as he was.*
"Those scribblings look interesting. What have you come up with so far?"
*There was genuine interest in his grey eyes.*

*Snake's eyes flicker between his notes and Merlin, and opts to respond to his inquisitive questioner.*
"I'm just noting down general trap placement. You know where I can get some motion-sensitive lasers? And some generic soldiers who can patrol the corridors? Really, one works without the other, but still."

*Merlin smiled secretly.*
"Well, the motion-sensitive lasers is no problem. I can take a trip to the future and get them easily enough. The generic soldiers will be worse. Malefica here is a witch, though, and can create some minions for you. Will they do?"

"Well, as long as they can mantain a patrol route and aren't stupid, it should work. Get the variety that gain a giant exclamation point above their heads when they see someone, could you?"
*Snake scribbles something else down on the notepad.*

*Merlin and Malefica nodded.*
"That should be easy enough. If we get them, can you train them? You seem like you know what you're doing."

*Snake writes down one last thing on the pad, then discretely slips it into a back pocket, along with the pen.*
"Trust me, I do."

*Merlin smiled and looked back at him, friendly.*
"Not to pry into your personal life, but what background do you have? We know very little about you."

"What can I say? All I do is sneak into places, kill people and get back out. Well, only the important people."
*Snake puts on his angry eyebrows.*

*Merlin and Malefica looked at each other, then at Snake.*
"Oh dear, sounds like you could need a vacation. How about you stay here as our guest for a while? No work, only rest?"

*Snake interlocks his fingers, breathes in deeply, and finishes with a nod.*
"That works."

*Merlin smiled.*
"Excellent. I doubt it is healthy to live a life like yours for a long period of time. Rest all you like, share our food and drink, walk around in our rooms and outside the fortress, with its beautiful surroundings, and talk to anyone you like. There are mostly friendly people here."
