[Video Post thing to settle a bet with Cass]

[So a week ago, Cass bet Arthur that if she beat him in a sparring match, then he had to clean up after himself for a whole week. And show everyone. No one will probably understand the significance of this except for Merlin who has previously done all of the cleaning and Cass and Guinevere because she was around. This seems like an accidental post honestly. So here you go, people of the Barge, here's nearly five minutes of Arthur straightening up his room. He comes back to the communicator eventually and picks it up, and now you know this wasn't an accident.]

Happy, Cassandra?

[There's a small pause, and he looks like he isn't sure he wants to ask this but:] ... is it... customary, where most of you are from, to give gifts at this time of year?

[Private to the Admiral]

For Guinevere, a pair of earrings befitting a Queen.

For Merlin, a better mattress. The one he has now is awful.

For Arya, a set of chainmail useful for her size and some treats for her wolf.

For Charles, that ~~ugly~~... thick tunic that seems to have found its way into my room.

For Cass, a nice dress. ~~Girls like those sort of things, right~~

For Cashmere, a... trinket for her hair.

For Emma... a bracelet.

For Tim, his own sword and mail.

[That's clearly what it is.]

No idea. Mostly interested... in the eating part. There's a feast. Lots of food.

A custom I've heard of before. [And enjoy greatly. Merlin has had to enlarge his belts before.]

[ENLARGE YOUR OWN BELTS GOSH. That sounds awesome though Cass would like to go to your feasts, Arthur.]

Do you have that, in Camelot? Big dinner, to celebrate... [Wait a second she knows their word for it HANG ON.] Yule?

[HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW]

We have feasts to celebrate all occasions. Yule, included.

[You literally take a knife and stab more holes into the belt. You're good at stabbing things, this should be easy.]

But you don't... give presents?

[Well it's half Merlin's fault for not teaching him how.]

Not typically. For someone's anniversary, yes. Not for Yule.

What about birthdays?

[Wait for it.]

... When's your birthday?

[That's not obvious AT ALL what are you talking about.]

[Birthdays kind of fall under anniversaries, Cass.]

It was last month. [Look who didn't make a big deal about it: this guy.]

[She is making a face at you Arthur. A FACE.]

I missed it? Did you do anything? Presents?

[She's getting you something now, Arthur. She will find a way.]

No, I let it pass. [Make the face all you want. Both his parents died basically on his birthday, Cass. It's not his favorite day.]

You can... do that?

[She just recently found out she even has one, so she's not entirely attached to the idea anyway. Presents are nice and everything and cake is awesome, but still. It's not always an anniversary of something nice, she gets that.]

I did. [That's a lie, he spend the day brooding about his father but that was a loner activity.]

[Are you trying to tell a batkid how to brood?]

Well... happy birthday, anyway.

[Because even as sad as that day was, it gave the world Arthur and that will always be a good thing.]

[Aha, it's not even funny how much Arthur wouldn't agree with that right now. His birth caused hundreds of people to die.]

Thank you, Cassandra.
