Who: Merlin and Gellert.
What: Chats and magic.
When: September 4, 1980.
Where: The forest just outside Hogsmeade.
Warnings: Gellert.

Promptly on time (a little early, even) Gellert arrives precisely where Merlin instructed him to, looking as he always does: young, proper, and completely harmless. He's not worried or nervous in the least, instead intrigued and interested and ready to continue the discussions that they had been having before. He wonders if others have been simpering over the famous wizard - perhaps, but Gellert isn't the type. He's going to treat the other wizard as though they are simply strangers having met one day with similar interests getting to know one another. That's all.

(He thinks he can urge this into a kind of friendship. It's his ultimate goal for the day.)

Hands clasped behind his back and rocking on his heels, a habitual gesture with him, Gellert waits.

[ and just like that, he's standing at the edge of the forest, dressed in worn clothing he probably stole off someone's drying-line, his tangled hair threaded through with little silver charms and bound back from his face in a messy half-bun. he's quite small and petite, a little fragile-looking actually, but there's something ferocious and not quite human in the dark-eyed stare he levels on gellert. ]

Gellert Grindelwald? [ his voice has welsh hints to it, but is otherwise almost accentless. he takes a moment to look the blond over, nodding politely once, then turns abruptly away again. ] Come with me and stay close. You don't want to get lost. [ he sets off just like that, whether gellert chooses to follow or not. .. ah. ]
