Oh... Samples don't cost that much. I just thought I'd pick them up for you, since you decided to accompany me, and all. [and Merlin is his! England wants to spoil him!
it's weird, England, especially when he doesn't know what you are... at least England assumes that Merlin does not know]

Yeah, but... [ Merlin just looks a tad uncomfortable for a moment, opens his mouth and then closes it again. ] Thank you?
Really though, that isn't for me so I'm going to have to insist on that one. [ He sure is pointing to the tea infuser. ] When we finish here are you going to demonstrate how to do this properly?

[England does not mean to make Merlin uncomfortable! but he at least can see it. so he nods. he'll let him purchase the tea infuser]
Of course, I'd be happy to. It's actually not difficult at all.

[ Well he doesn't even get a full three meals normally and it isn't as though he's had gifts until he came here.
(And even then the only one he's got is... a dragon plushie.................) ]
Then I'll... be counting on you?
[ He hands over the card to pay for that much at least, letting the other pay for the actual teas. Then when he takes his card back, he not-so-subtly says: ] There's actually something I wanted to talk to you about.

[yes! Merlin can count of him! that pleases England greatly. though, all of a sudden, he senses the mood become a bit more serious]
Oh, yeah? [he nods a thank-you to the clerk as she bags up the items. then they are free to be off on their way] Not about tea?

[ He isn't sure why the other is so happy about it, but once they're out the door he presses his mouth together and shakes his head. ]
No, not about tea. But it can wait until we get back.

[hm... England gives another nod to Merlin, curious. what could he want to talk about? maybe about the sacrifices? who knows. they're off back to the residential district]
Are we going to your place?
Are we going to your place?
[ After that blinding headache before? No thanks. He glances towards the street then turns to look at him, offering a small shrug. ]
We can do. They're all mostly the same, aren't they? [ It's faster with the trains anyway, though still surprising on how smooth they are. ]

Mostly. It just depends on how people customize theirs. [he grins, trying to lighten the mood] Have you played with any of the HOLO(gm)s yet?
True. I didn't realise there were any, and ended up just building what I wanted. [ He wiggles his hands a bit. ] It took a month but it's paid off well. I can-- I can show you if you want?
[ Show you how gay his fucking bedroom is. ]
[ Show you how gay his fucking bedroom is. ]
He does, he does. I'm sure he would tell you the same thing, if he were here. [No he wouldn't.]
I do miss her, of course, but how can I put it? Knowing that I'll get to see her again makes it a little easier to bear.

Sure, I'd like that. [hey, if Merlin built his own decor, more power to him! England would love to have actual antique furniture, like he has in his home.
ugh, he misses home quite a bit]

I mean, I cheated a little, but it probably would have been easier with the HOLOs. [ Though... ] But it wouldn't have had the same feel to it.
[ He has too many good things going on here to miss anything more than the people honestly. It'd be a bit weird for him to miss hygiene or food from his day. Both were awful. ]

Right. I understand. That's good, though, that you were able to build your own things. Not everyone can do that. I think most people use the HOLOs.
What do you have? I mean, if you have customized your place? ...Who do you live with actually?
[ Even if he's told him he doesn't really remember, sorry. ]
[ Even if he's told him he doesn't really remember, sorry. ]
Then if he ever shows up I'll ask, shall I? [ Fay pls ]
She must mean a lot to you then. But what about here? Anyone you've made friends with yet? [ Other than him and Charlie, of course. He knows about those. ]

I live with Miles Edgeworth. We have a fairly modern setting in most of the flat, but I went with Victorian in my room. I was thinking I might give steampunk a try later, though.
You live with Edgeworth?! [ Well he's unlucky that they're in the middle of the train when his voice raises, but at least Merlin realises and coughs afterwards. ] Sorry. Just wasn't expecting that.
[ Then again they're both a bit... overpolite, aren't they? ] Though I can't say I know what either of those things mean.

[aha! England almost laughs at that reaction. as it is, he smirks, rubbing the back of his neck] But, you know him, though. Did you two not get along?
[ He just... makes a vague handwaving motion. ] I wouldn't say that either, but he's... rather boring.
[ Well he isn't Wrong. ]
[ Well he isn't Wrong. ]
[that pulls a chuckle from him. oh, dear. poor Edgeworth]
He has his moments. We get along well, though. We're both quiet, fairly private people with similar interests. We've also shared memories, thanks to CERES.

Feel free to! [And then feel free to possibly arrange Fay's funeral afterwards.]
It's been quite some time since I was in a position to be somewhere long enough to make friends, but I'd like to think I'm making some progress here and there.

[ Well at least they get on a bit better now... thank you dark city for letting Merlin show he isn't just an irresponsible idiot. ]
That makes a lot of sense. I joke too much, I think. He just looks irritated most of the time. [ Though he does glance at England for the last part. ] And do you mean you told each other or literally shared, because I've seen both here.

Alright. [ Nah just burns the body. That's what they do in his time!!! ]
Well that's good to hear! I mean there are a lot of us trapped here, so it's good that you are.

[This isn't text, mostly because Chibi - as will be evidenced in the following message - might have some issues typing. It's taken him until morning to figure out that oh, he could probably just... Ask someone who might know healing magic.]
[Way to go, Chibi.]
As predicted, the robot tried to off me. It has been taken care of, but well, ah... In any case, would you happen to know a healer?
[Attached: one (1) picture of Chibi's broken wrist, splinted and obviously swollen.]
