[ That really does sound ominous. ]
Right now? But later is fine then, is it?
[ Thanks for making him feel uneasy, Shiki. ]

[ It's thankfully later in the day, and usually the time where most people would have dinner so the shop is quieter. Instead of taking stock or something useful, Merlin is sat at the counter, one of the books open as he reads through the information in there.
In fact, whenever it's slow that's usually what he resorts to as a means of expanding his knowledge, even if it's a type of magic he can't quite do yet. That said, he's super absorbed in the book and barely notices who walks in, just says: ] Let me know if you need any help with any-- Vietnam?
[ Ah oops ]

[ Ah oops ]
[ He pushes the book aside, though as it's Vietnam and not an actual customer, he's honest about it. ]
When it's empty I just read some of the books they have in stock. I shouldn't, but... [ He shrugs. ] Was I supposed to meet you here?

Well, that's certainly reassuring. [ As sigh, then: ] I wouldn't unless it was necessary.
[She's cool with that, after all she's only visiting.]
I see, but if they're interesting, you could learn more? Are they related to magic here? [She's not that wild, but she understands the need to be.] No, I came by because I wanted to visit you at the magic shop, and ask if you have time for some food. But really, I've never seen a magic shop before.

Yeah. They're all magic related, different types--probably from different worlds. [ But he pushes himself away from the counter when she says that. ] Did you want a tour? It isn't exactly big but...
That wasn't even the half of it. [ Shiki, that was a video game side of this world, has anyone even told you about the Other Stuff???
Rather than asking that though, he just... eats more ice cream. ]

I won't know until I try. [ A pause, then: ] There's someone's who I've met here that would be interesting to study though, but I don't know if they'll let me.
[ It also might seem redundant in comparison, but it's more just because he wants to see how much of it is different. Help, there's a magic nerd in the room. ]
We can start with the books then. This way. [ There are probably more books than anything else, simply because of all the things here, though he does pause once they're there to say: ] As long as you aren't going to try and buy a love spell book, that is?
[ How #thirsty are you Vietnam? ]

I see...a wizard like yourself, but a different kind? [She's curious, since if he wants to study them, chances are they are magic, of some kind.
Hi Magic Nerd.]
Alright. [And she follows after him. There are a lot of books, but she wouldn't even know where to start. She stops, just barely after him, and looks up--]
No. [THAT WAS FAST, but she's not that thirsty! In fact, she still thinks she is destined for a lonely life and she's okay with that.]

Someeeeeething like that. [ He draws out the first word. ] I'd have to ask them if they think it could work though. I at least want to study it.
[ Super magic nerd ]
No? [ He's laughing at how quickly that came out, lips twitching at the corners. ] No need for help in that department? [ Vietnam this place is much different to home okay. You can be different here, be who you want to be rather than who you have to be. Take it from him. ]

[She's even more curious. WHAT MAGIC IS HE TALKING ABOUT.] I wish you luck on this project! Tell me if it goes well.
[He doesn't have to go in detail because most likely she's not going to get it.]
Aha. [She clears her throat awkwardly and waves her hand.] No need. I am not someone who should be allowed to love. [WHOA MERLIN it's true, she does need convincing.]

[ He gives her a smile for that, at least she isn't asking for details because he isn't sure how much he could even give at the moment. ] I'll let you know.
Though... [ What?! ] ...What are you talking about? Everyone is allowed to love! [ Woah, loud. Here we go, Vietnam... you started the #romanceisreal speeches ]

[Exactly, she knows the nature of projects. Especially projects in topics she has no clue in.] Thank you.
Ah? Well, I suppose I do love, a lot, but not that kind of love. It's...a little bit hard to explain, but there many difficulties should I fall in love. That and I have experience. [She talks shit because she watches Kdrama. Merlin has 999034098304 times more experience AND he believes love is real?!]

[ He actually leans against the bookcase now, crossing his arms as he listens to her. ] What kind of difficulties?
[ He still doesn't know about her... country thing............... Amy............ ] And what kind of experience are you talking about? Things are different here.

You're immortal? [ Look, he doesn't know about himself yet but do you see him holding back-- (actually post-Freya he does so let's not go there) ]
And you... represent a country? Is that a place like Italy? [ Why is Italy the first country he thinks of? That's a secret but ah... ] I don't believe that though, it's still different here. We don't have the same responsibilities here as we do at home.

[Guess who hasn't really slept for the last five days?! And thus a lot of these just come in quick succession, broken up into chunks.]

[ It's four parts as he tries to catch up with him but honestly he can't text that fast. In fact, Hiro is probably already writing again while he's managing to text just: ]
When are you free?

Yes. [Ah, well, he'll be immortal and he'll be hitting on girls in no time. Thanks Freya. Even though that was super sad.]
And yes, just like that. Italy has his own representation too. [And wow, wonder why he thought Italy? Not England?!] Well...you're right, but I'm not entirely sure how I would feel to experience something, and then lose it all once I go home.

[Merlin's not wrong, Hiro was about to launch into a whole other set of messages when Merlin finally figures out how to use a keyboard and texts him back.]
I'm free now if you are. I told you I can adjust my schedule to whatever.
