Good night, Merlin, [ she says in a hushed whisper, and proceeds to think about certain things that make her fall asleep.
in all honesty, it's a bit difficult to fall asleep like this. athena's just so... taken right now and she can't seem to think straight. all she can think about is him. it's like that time a couple of nights ago. she certainly didn't expect merlin to kiss her on the cheek and whisper something like that. he might not have realised what that implied, or maybe he did it on purpose, but it kept athena up all night long, swimming in her own giddiness.
and being like this, as much as she wants to just close her eyes and try to sleep, she wants to look at him and how peaceful he probably looks... to pet his hair while he's asleep, or to just be there in case he has nightmares.
thinking so much about this lulls her to sleep, though... ]
