[ she's just looking at the fairy lights in his room. ]

Why is there a tree? Are we in a forest?

[sortileges]

[ He smiles at her then, finally having his shoes on. ]

Something like that. Just try and sleep until I'm back okay?

[ He leans to kiss her briefly on the mouth then, before pulling away. ]

[psycholawgy]

No! [ it's an immediate protest, and she starts flailing her arms and kicking at the bed. this... is definitely a tantrum. (unsure) ] No, no, no! If I sleep then that means I'm time travelling! And you know time travelling isn't real!

[ what ]

[sortileges]

No? [ He ends up laughing softly at that, hand moving to pat her leg. ]

Isn't it?

[ Ah... don't tease the drunk girl, Merlin. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ she rolls on her side so she can look at him, thoroughly unamused. ]

It's not real. You can't do that, you know? And if I end up time travelling [ you just said it's not real, athena... ], then I can't see you until I wake up. It makes no sense.

[sortileges]

[ He leans to kiss her forehead then. ]

But you can see me in your dreams, right?

[psycholawgy]

[ well, that's true, but it's not enough. not for... drunk athena, apparently. she shakes her head and starts kicking again. ]

But it's not the same. You wouldn't know because you've probably never dreamt of hugging yourself before, or just laying on a field with your arms around you. It's not warm, and it doesn't feel right. And when you eat in your dreams, you aren't full when you wake up.

[sortileges]

[ He leans his arms on the bed as he looks at her. ]

But aren't you hungry?

[psycholawgy]

Oh! I am.

[ thanks for reminding her. she gets up now and tries to walk to the door. ]

The chicken!

[sortileges]

Ah-- [ God... he needs a leash for this girl ]

Wait, your shoes... I took them off already.

[psycholawgy]

[ oh. she looks down at her feet, tilting her head a bit. why are her feet down there??? ]

That's okay. You didn't take my feet off.

[sortileges]

Okay-- [ He just turns her back towards the bed then. ]

Whyyyy don't I call for delivery instead?

[ Because he can't take her out when she's like this. ] Did you drink any water?

[psycholawgy]

[ she turns back around to just wrap her arms around him, practically latching onto him like a koala. ]

No, but it's fine. I'm fine!

[sortileges]

[ Jesus please save him ]

What's fine? [ What is up and what is down tbh ]

[psycholawgy]

[ someone save them both tbh. ]

You are!

[sortileges]

[ Where is the lord ]

Not... my question.

[psycholawgy]

[ not in his room that's for sure ]

I can't stop thinking about you.

[sortileges]

[ He swallows at that. ]

Well, I'm here?

[psycholawgy]

Even earlier, when I was out, I couldn't stop. I just want to be with you all the time.

[ she leans into him and tiptoes to kiss him then. she's slow at least, so he can pull away if he wants to. ]

[sortileges]

[ That definitely makes his heart race. ]

I want that too, you know. [ To be with her all the time, to never let go. He reaches to thread his fingers into her hair then, kissing her back. It's just as slow, a mix of that and sweet. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ she still probably tastes of alcohol, but ah... she doesn't move away after he kisses her, though. instead, she looks into his eyes (spoilers: she can't really see properly right now) with some weird lovesick look before she kisses him again, a hand moving from his back to draw small circles on the rim of his ear. ]

[sortileges]

[ She does, which means he doesn't let it linger too long. He kisses her forehead and tries to subtly tilt his head away before she does something that's going Too Far in her state. ]

C'mon... let me call the delivery place and we can nap until they come.

[psycholawgy]

[ she frowns then, and just lets go. ]

Alright. What are they going to deliver?

[ ah... ]

[sortileges]

[ Kill him... just kill him. Was he this repetitive when drunk? He doesn't remember. ]

Chicken?

[psycholawgy]

[ he definitely wasn't... that's athena for you. (unsure) why is he still with her ]

Great! I want some chicken.
