[ He watches her rush back and get inside, smiling softly. ]

Here we go. Just chicken?

[ He picks his CereVice up from his bedside table, already loading up a number. ]

[psycholawgy]

And the blue cheese.

[ it's very important!! ]

[sortileges]

[ He glances over at her then, kind of hoping she'd forgotten about that. ]

They don't have that for delivery.

[ And????? He can't go to the store with her like this?!!!!!!!!1 ]

[psycholawgy]

[ she remains quiet for a good few seconds, just frowning because there's no blue cheese. if you thought she was a brat before... ]

[sortileges]

[ J e s u s .

Though he just orders what he called up for (the chicken) and leaves Athena pouting while giving her a look in return ]

[psycholawgy]

[ what's that look for!! she's the least bit bothered by it, even frowning even more instead of calming down. ]

[sortileges]

[ It's for being a spoiled little missy?!?! ]

It'll be here in 30 minutes.

[ That's when he glances at her again, eyeing his room door and wondering if he should leave it open for his own peace of mind. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ she harrumphs before resting her head back on the pillow again. hopefully the delivery guy doesn't take half an hour, and gets to merlin's place sooner than expected. she's hungry!! ]

[sortileges]

[ His eyes flicker to her face then, watching as she harrumphs. ]

Water?

[psycholawgy]

[ she's still pouting, but she does look at him. ]

What about water?

[sortileges]

Do you want some?

[ She needs it jfc ]

[psycholawgy]

Not really.

[ she's more hungry than thirsty right now. ]

[sortileges]

You might get a headache.

[ He isn't moving from the middle of the room yet, anyway. ]

[psycholawgy]

I won't.

[ she will. ]

This pillow's soft.

[sortileges]

[ He just Sighs. ]

You've been drinking. Remember what you told me when I was... struggling, that time?

[psycholawgy]

Hmmm...

[ that's a very loud hum. ]

I told you to go to sleep when you said you watched a video about making out.

[ ah... the truth comes to light. ]

[sortileges]

[ J e s u s

Why is this happening...

He chokes a little, hand flying up to cover his mouth. ]

I told you that?

[psycholawgy]

You did!

[ her energy seems back now, at least. she's even sat up again, holding the pillow she was resting on in front of her. ]

I couldn't sleep after that.

[sortileges]

[ Why does she look so happy and energetic about that?! ]

You couldn't sleep?!

[ S. O. S. ]

[psycholawgy]

No! How do you expect me to sleep after something like that? I wanted it.

[ she sighs wistfully and lets herself fall on the bed with both her arms outstretched. ]

[sortileges]

Well... Um. [ He watches her flop back then turns his gaze away. ]

Sorry?

[psycholawgy]

[ she closes her eyes and sighs again. ]

Oh well!

[sortileges]

[ He shifts to cross his arms, not moving closer, feet firmly planted. ]

Are you going to nap...? [ ANYTHING TO MOVE ON FROM THAT TOPIC ]

[psycholawgy]

I can wait. It's okay.

[ gl merlin you brought this upon yourself when you let her enter your apartment ]

[sortileges]

[ He did... he truly did. ]

Right.

[ So now he's just going to move to sit on the floor, just because it would feel wrong to sit too close to her while she's as drunk as she is. Ah. ]
