[ Wow... at least it wouldn't be intentional?!?! ]
Soooooo [ He draws it out. ] It's alright if I pay, isn't it?

[ so embarrassing. ]
I'll have to pay the next, next time we go out, then!

[ coming from miss screams from the rooftops???? ]
The next, next time then.
The next, next time then.
[ it was ROMANTIC ]
Great! Sounds like a plan to me.

[ Thankfully he got there just in time then!!! ]
I finish in twenty minutes, I can meet you there in thirty?

[ still embarrassing and slightly traumatic... ]
Wait... then the reason why you were asking short hair or long hair...? Are you cutting it shorter?
[ It's taken all this time-- ]

[ It's taken all this time-- ]
I was thinking about it. I've had long hair my entire life.
[ she doesn't even know how she'd look like with short hair. ]
[ she doesn't even know how she'd look like with short hair. ]
Is there a way you can see before doing it? [ Well, he doesn't know with technology these days?! ] But really I think you shouldn't be asking me that. I don't really know much about ...hair.
[ Athena you saw his hair before Vietnam intervened... ]
Besides, it's not like I really pay as much attention to that as your face anyway.
[ Is that a compliment??????? Probably. ]

I don't know what you meant by that.
[ weirdo... ]
I guess I shouldn't have asked.
[ weirdo... ]
I guess I shouldn't have asked.
[ ???????????? What is difficult to understand by that?! ]
What's difficult to understand? Whatever hair style you have you'd still be beautiful.
[ Athena??????? Logic????? ]

Stop saying things like that!
[ good thing this isn't video. ]
And get back to work!
[ good thing this isn't video. ]

Nah. [ He says it lightly, taps a pen on the table. He's definitely at the counter at work, she got it in one. ] Don't really feel like it.
[ SHE HATES YOU. ]
I'm hanging up! Iloveyou, bye!
I'm hanging up! Iloveyou, bye!
[ Ah... He probably looks a bit weird as he just laughs into the phone. A customer or two probably looks offended that he isn't taking his job seriously, but if they have any questions he can probably answer them in a heartbeat, it's fine. ]
Love you too. [ You poor girl. ] Bye.
Love you too. [ You poor girl. ] Bye.
[ She doesn't even answer this last bit, merely stares suddenly into space with wide eyes and--
Burps. Just once! But loudly. Fearfully. She's never burped like that before! ]
Am I going to be okay, Merlin...? I keep feeling happy and then sad and then - angry...

Oh, but I'm not angry now. Relax! [ THANK GOD FOR ALCOHOL. Rapunzel simply laughs off her outburst, stops
and then frowns down at him, tilting her head with exaggerated slowness. ] What do you mean different... Different from your home? I wouldn't know how people are supposed to behave anyway. I'd never met a person before I came here. Well, there was Flynn Rider, but that's--
[ Just a memory now. ]
...
... He was beautiful.

Rapunzel... [ He isn't worried because he thinks she's angry, he's worried because she's a tiny drunk standing on a table. He moves to stand on the bench, hands reaching out to steady her by the shoulders. ]
That's all well and good, but do you have to do that from up here? [ Though... what?! He looks at her weirdly for that confession, laughing slightly. ] You hadn't met... anyone? Who's Flynn Rider?
[ Other than some beautiful man, apparently? ] Your boyfriend?
[ There's a bit of a teasing lilt to that considering how dreamy she makes it all sound. Yeah, that's your fault gurl. ]

[A ROMANTIC. LIKE TAME FRANCE.]
Oh! Yes there are many of us. Your country is here too, England. Or so he is known in modern history, I believe. [Her British history sucks, SORRY. She doesn't want to tell him anything that could be wrong, because her accounts of England are mostly from, gasp, France.]
The thing is...[She crosses her arms and frowns deeply in thought.] I am not sure if I can make the comparison at all. Because of I haven't really loved in such a way. Would losing be too lonely for someone who lives forever?

[ It never surfaced again after Freya :( ]
England? [ He has no idea who England is, also ironically, Merlin (or Emrys) is actually from Wales... funtimes, huh!!! ] I'm sorry, I don't...?
[ But then he's shaking his head because she's moving on. ] I think it might be for a little while, but isn't letting no one in at all even lonelier?

Boyfriend. [ See her eyebrow, watch it rise! Rapunzel tosses back her own head, laughs, and then, indeed, almost falls backwards onto her kawaii butt because she's clumsier than normal and also lucky. The fall is broken mostly by her own flailing limbs but she's still laughing and Merlin's still got her shoulders. ]
Heh, heh, heh. I have lots of boyfriends. You're a boy friend. [ Punctuating the "you're" with a sharp, playful poke to the forehead. ] Flynn is a... boy... friend.
[ She wrinkles her nose. ]
No. Actually, he's not. He was my guide but now I don't need a guide and I have you guys instead.
...Right?

[ Woah, okay. He isn't that steady either considering he's also downed a couple of those drinks, but he has a good foot on her so maybe it's just a little easier to absorb and not make him quite as drunk. ]
I think you're forgetting what boyfriend is supposed to mean in the modern world. [ Though his hands reach for hers then, pulling her back into a steadier position that doesn't make it seem like she'll fall backwards off the table. ]
You don't need a guide while you're here though, no. Or if you do, you're right. You have us.
[ Who is "us"???????? ]

That's good for me. It'll give me time to offload the program from my laptop too and figure out how to boot it into ViViD. I'll see you at the main game center in half an hour!
[And true to his word? He'll be there. He's sitting on the ground out of the way near the ViViD center and on a laptop computer that he's working on to finish transferring his program. He'll be ready by the time Merlin arrives though.]

Is that who it is? I didn't realise.
[ Don't lie to your friends....... ]
[ Don't lie to your friends....... ]
[ He doesn't reply to the text, simply because it will cut into the time it takes for him to finish his shift and he doesn't want to be late. When Merlin arrives he's only a minute or two over, but he has come straight from work after only finishing maybe 8 minutes ago. He looks a little surprised to see Hiro is pretty much set up though. ]
Did you manage to do ... what you needed to do?
[ Because asking specifics won't get him far, honestly. ]
