[aha! he steps out of the elevator first] I suppose that's one way of looking at it. I think I'm always waiting for the other shoe to drop. [he means he is a worrier. worrying all the time...]
[Prepare for disappointment, Merlin.]
There is. Before, it was to find something, and now... well, I'm content to be a traveling magician and the others have their reasons. [He lifts one shoulder apologetically, because that's really not much of an answer.]
It certainly keeps us busy, at least.

Well I can probably set that shoe on fire so... [ He shrugs as he turns right to go down the corridor, heading down a door or two before swiping over the door.
Really, the day he gets knocked down a peg will be a Great Day. ]
Come on in.
[ It might be surprising when he takes his shoes off right at the door, putting them straight into a cupboard. He glances at England with a faint... cringe? ]
My roommate is super clean so could you...?

[the fire comment makes England chuckle. yes, he supposes Merlin can. it's okay to be a little cocky if you have magic, at least England thinks so]
Oh, of course. [off come his shoes, as well, and he tucks them into a free spot]

[ There has to be a stopping point though!! But he gives him a grateful smile once that's done. ]
Thanks. Uh, the kitchen is just this way.
[ He points in the direction then starts walking once England's ready. There won't be a spec of dirt on his socks or anything anyway. ]

[England knows what it's like to have a neatfreak roommate. well, he thinks he does, because he's stayed with a couple of clean people on certain occasions. cough those german brothers cough. so he's not too bothered or put out.
once they get to the kitchen, England pulls out the samples and the tea bags so that Merlin can have a look at them all] So these samples are about half an ounce, as I mentioned before. That ought to give you three cups of each. The strawberry cheesecake one... that's all there is of it, for now. But if you like any of the others, you can just go pick them up at the store. Tea is usually purchased in ounces.

To find something? Does that mean you found it now? If your reasoning changed? [ It's actually more than Fay might realise. Merlin doesn't even have to dig for the wrong thing now. ]
It must be really weird to have stopped moving now.

[ He thinks he does. Shigeru, at least, keeps away from Merlin's room as long as Merlin doesn't let his mess get too bad. He dusts and keeps it clean in that sense, it's just laziness with his clothes more than anything else.
He looks at the teas when England sets them out on the counter, finally having a good sniff of them all. ]
Which should we have now then?

That is up to you. [hehe] I'm sure whichever you choose will probably be delicious. [at least he hopes so? they all smell good, at least. even the strawberry cheesecake, and he's a little wary of the dessert-flavored teas]
Maybe the Taste of London one you mentioned then. [ He reaches for it, just to see if there are any ingredients listed. While... at least pretending to look though, he starts to go back to that topic from earlier that he skimmed over. ]
You know... Sen told me something interesting the other week?
You know... Sen told me something interesting the other week?
Mm, something like that.
It's not too strange. And I'm okay with the idea of waiting for a while in one place, if that's what I have to do.

I don't think you're going to have much of a choice either way. It doesn't seem like there's a specific pattern to people who come or leave this place.
[all right! taste of London! England looks pleased with that choice, as he opens the bag.
Sen. he pauses a moment, thinking of the name. sounds familiar, and... oh, wait. now he thinks he knows what this discussion will be about]
She did. [not really a question, more like an observation, to show he's paying attention while he's opening the tea bags]

Even if I did have a choice, I would stay until Kuro-pon and the others caught up. Leaving before then isn't an option, if I can help it.
[ Merlin shifts to watch how he does it, but also to concentrate on his reaction. He leans so his elbow is on the counter, tilts his head towards that shoulder. ]
That you're like her, a place called "England". [ He pauses then, to let that sink in then adds: ] Is that what I felt when I tried to communicate in your head that time? I mean I didn't really get it then, and things were bad enough without prodding more so...
[ aka they both had blinding headaches from that ]

It doesn't work like that though. You'd return to the exact same point in time. At least, people have gone back then returned and it was like that for them.
...I don't think you'd miss them, if that's what you're worried about.
...I don't think you'd miss them, if that's what you're worried about.
[AH...THAT VERSION. Well he should tell her that version too. When he finds out. She needs to teach him how to stay youthful.
Also, kind of rude and kind of unsurprised about this.]
Ah yes that's right, you did mention that he was...hard to work with. What made you change your mind?

[SHE IS GONNA HAVE TO DO IT.
He could seriously just use both, whenever he feels like. She responds to either anyway. Personally she just needs to get used to his voice saying Sen.]
Really? Is that what its doing? Picking up bad habits? [Now she's just rubbing his back. Uh.]
I was expecting something terrible too. Someone mentioned that he saw a vision of them after he died when he was underground.

[the headaches were caused by... whatever Mosley did to his code. or whatever he he did, with that pen. but what if Merlin had been able to poke around in there?
he sighs softly, wishing that he'd had time to tell Merlin on his own, but not really upset with Vietnam. she merely moved his plan along quicker] That is correct. She and I are from the same world. Neither of us are human.

[h....elpful.......]
A cast it will be, then. [Or sketchy android healthcare... He's a little sad about it, but it is what it is.]
In any case, I do not mean to stoke paranoia, but they are getting better at pretending to be their owners. Mine picked up how to use the same powers I do, with the portals and such. If someone is acting strangely for the next few days, I would stay on guard.

You could always ask on the post... thing. [ He sighs out then, voice soft. ] Sorry I can't really think of anyone.
But you don't have to tell me that, you're a little late, don't you think?

[ Then he would have only seen whatever England showed him anyway. It's a projection of images, like watching a screen, not like a book.
Sorry though England. Vietnam is a grade A bitch like that [smh] ]
She tried to explain it, but the places mentioned don't exist for me. She said I was from a place that you're associated with though. She told me to ask about Brit... Brit... a...? I honestly don't remember, sorry.

[ Well he won't find out for a very long time so ... doubtful.
But yeah. ]
He saved my life. [ Simply..... ] I mean it still hasn't been easy, but he went against his father and went to get something that would be used to cure me. [ What he doesn't mention is that he'd taken a poison for him and was on his deathbed for that reason... ah. ] If he did something like that, there was hope, wasn't there? It's been getting easier over the past year.

They did? [ He doesn't expect that...... or the back rubbing, actually. He glances over at her. ] Are you alright?
A British person? [England raises an eyebrow, filling an empty tea bag with a small amount of tea. then he closes it up. and voila! your own tea bag]
