[ah! good thing England wasn't drinking tea at that point. he might have spat it out at the question. he doesn't know which part to address first!]
I... I wouldn't say we don't let ourselves love! As I've said, nations occasionally date each other! And, in my case... [the words die on England's tongue. which is fine, because he should think about how much he wants to say]
[England, save yourself the embarrassment and tell him to find someone else to talk to about girls. but... but this is Merlin's love life! he's curious, okay?]
Oh, of course. Yes, I can... probably... I mean! Definitely! I can definitely help you out with that!
Th-that's all right! You're young! You learn things as you go, yeah? You obviously haven't experienced everything about love or life right now. Some things, you find out for yourself with age, while other answers come from asking questions. It's perfectly acceptable to ask for help.
[oh... well, England supposes he can see that, if you've got a bunch of teens and young adults together. generally clueless]
I see. Well, I'm happy to offer my assistance. I know I probably don't look old, but I've been around a long time. Longer than I can count, really. And I will gladly share what knowledge I've gained over the years.
[ Exactly... they're all as useless as each other. ]
Well if you said you were... uh... What word do you even use for it? Albion, anyway. I've been told it's been at least a thousand years so. [ Shrugs. ] I'll ask if anything comes up.
[ England you won't be ready for it, that's for sure. ]
Mm, right. [another nod] When you're doing single cups, like this, you put the tea in the cup, then pour the hot water directly over it. That is supposed to help make the flavor richer.

welp
[ This is the most awkward thing he's asked to be honest... especially as this time he isn't looking at England now either. ]

2/2 and here's another porn icon
In my case, I have found someone, here, who has lived longer than I have, and we have grown to... love one another...
sDGSDGKDG cries... ah poor England.... sorry homie
He wasn't actually asking about that, so now England is only bringing embarrassment to himself. It's only going to get worse. ]
You have? Who is she? [ "She"... sorry, Chibi.......... ]

I will tell you later. The point I am trying to make is that I've experienced love. [wasn't the question about girls?] What seems to be troubling you?
no subject
But still he gives a small shrug. ] It doesn't matter right now, but if I need help with that later...
[ Sweats. ]

Oh, of course. Yes, I can... probably... I mean! Definitely! I can definitely help you out with that!
[also his pride is too great]
no subject
You can?
[ Does he even know what kind of questions are going to come up--though really he clears his throat after, trying to sound less surprised. ]
I mean, thanks. I don't always know what I'm doing, so...
[ ??? so??? ]

I'm not really used to having anyone but Gaius to ask, actually. And I'd rather eat a leech than do that.
[ wow harsh ]
no subject
What about here, though? I'm sure you've made friends you feel comfortable enough to share your problems with... Haven't you?
no subject
They're probably just as clueless as I am, actually.

So we just put the tea in the cup as it is now?

[ England pls. ]

A-ah... it's... I suppose? [hopefully Merlin will feel differently once he tries the flavor. this is England's favorite in Cerealia, after all]

IT'S OKAY ]
