[ well, she won't disturb him. he can even close his eyes all he likes. though maybe he should move to the bed for that. she'll just bother him when she's had about three drumsticks. ]

Merlin?

[sortileges]

[ His eyes stay closed, but he replies with a soft: ] Yeah?

[psycholawgy]

[ she fixes the mess on the floor while he's just there. better not make his life worse than it already is. ]

Should I put the chicken in the fridge?

[sortileges]

[ One eye cracks open. ]

You finished?

[psycholawgy]

I can't finish all of this.

[sortileges]

[ He pushes up onto one elbow and reaches in to take another piece. ]

You can wait a bit longer.

[psycholawgy]

There's too much.

[ she can't eat an entire bucket?!??!?! ]

[sortileges]

[ He glances at her. ]

I'm going to eat some?

[ It's not all for you?! ]

[psycholawgy]

Oh, alright.

[ it just seemed like he was expecting her to finish it all?!?!?! gosh!!!! ]

It'd taste better with blue cheese.

[sortileges]

[ Nah, he just wanted to make sure she got her fill okok. ]

Well I don't have any. Did you finish your water?

[psycholawgy]

[ then maybe he should stock up on blue cheese in the future! you never know when he might need it. ]

I did. Do you want some water?

[sortileges]

[ No?!?! That's gross. ]

No, but I can go get more. [ He shifts to stand and moves towards the kitchen, taking his chicken with him. In his other hand, he takes her glass. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ what's gross?!??!?!

but alright, man. you do you. she'll just wait here, staring at the bucket in front of her. ]

[sortileges]

[ blue cheese?????????

but when he comes back he holds out the glass of water to her, puts the finished chicken into the trash and gets a new one. ]

Here.

[psycholawgy]

[ she takes the glass with both hands and starts drinking again, looking at him and observing him as he eats. ]

Can I stay here?

[ something that she should have asked maybe an hour or so ago. ]

[sortileges]

[ He's just eating to have something to do tbh... ]

Sure, take the bed.

[ Meaning??????? He won't be sleeping in it. Ah. ]

[psycholawgy]

Where will you stay?

[ she really doesn't get why he's being weird about all this. ]

[sortileges]

The couch?

[ Because he's a Gentleman okok ]

[psycholawgy]

[ that's no good. it's also uncomfortable! which is why she crawls over to where he put her shoes to put them on. ]

Nevermind.

[sortileges]

What are you doing?

[ J e s u s please come and save him. ]

C'mon. You need to sleep. [ Which is why he's moving to drop the last of the chicken away now and runs after her. ]

[psycholawgy]

I don't want you to sleep outside.

[ she might be imposing but that's just too much!! ]

I'll go home.

[sortileges]

Well I can sleep on the floor if you want?

[ Just dump the cushions there tbh. Shigeru will have a fit later, but he can clean them personally so he feels better. ]

[psycholawgy]

I'm not taking your bed, okay?

[ now let her go so she can put her shoes on and leave!! ]

[sortileges]

[ Now who is being unreasonable???? He sighs and lets go, hands raising before he just drops them down. ]

Fine. [ Go to your own bed then!!! He's too tired for this... he did his best okay. It's a lot more uncomfortable with a drunken girl who looks ravishing when you're a nice person and don't want to give a bad impression than if she were sober etc. ]

I'll call you in the morning?

[ bc sorry he's adamant they aren't sharing a bed when only one of them has been drinking. Ah. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ it's just a bed???? it's not like anything's going to happen. but you do you, merlin!!! athena pushes herself up once she has her shoes back on. ]

Alright. But don't call too early, I don't think I'm waking up at a normal time later.

[ at least she's honest. ]
