I'm just coming up with fun ideas!

[ she nods sagely. SOMEONE IS A PARTY POOPER, THOUGH!!! ]

[sortileges]

I broke into the planetarium with you already, wasn't that fun enough?

[ Don't ruin someone's special day for the fun of it, Athena! ]

[psycholawgy]

[ oh, that actually makes her giggle.]

You're right, okay-- that's enough crashing for now.

[ for now!!! ]

[sortileges]

[ He smiles back at her. ]

For now. Right. I'll look up a video later though, promise.

[ Hopefully there are no clips that pop up about consummating marriage... ]

[psycholawgy]

[ she hums in thought for a bit... ]

You've been watching a lot of videos in your free time, huh?

[sortileges]

[ ... What is she trying to say here? ]

Well it isn't exactly something I've seen before, is it?

[psycholawgy]

[ nothing in particular!!!! ]

What else have you been watching?

[sortileges]

[ Sure it isn't... He does think it over then though, hoping nothing weird comes up considering she knows the one thing he watched that was a Mistake. Really though... ]

Lots of videos about technology, history-- though I know that isn't the same for everyone--about animals. Sharks are really awful, aren't they? [ what the... ]

[psycholawgy]

Sharks aren't so bad.

[ that actually makes her laugh. ]

Have you seen sea urchins?

[sortileges]

You clearly haven't seen the video I saw.

[ Probably had a woman's arm being bitten off Jaws style tbh. ]

...What's a sea urchin?

[psycholawgy]

They're like, pointy sea creatures.

[ LIKE THAT'S DESCRIPTIVE... ]

Look for a video now!

[sortileges]

Pointy sea creatures?

[ super descriptive... he reaches for his CereVice though and opens up the video app, inputting "sea urchin" into the bar and hitting go. this video is the first option because if CERES doesn't have David Attenborough they're Rude. ]

Woah... they look fuzzy?!

[ Fuzzy.......... ]

[psycholawgy]

They're not fuzzy!

[ she suddenly looks very offended. ]

They're- they're like giant needles. Like this! [ she pokes merlin's side rather fiercely. ]

[sortileges]

[ Athena?! Were you abused by a sea urchin???????

He yells out and jerks away from her finger, looking just as offended now. ]

What is wrong with you?!

[psycholawgy]

What?!

[ NOW SHE'S EVEN MORE OFFENDED! ]

I was trying to be playful.

[sortileges]

Tell that to the bruise I probably have now.

[ He's even shifting his jacket out of the way, pulling up the shirt to check. There's a red mark, but no bruise. What a wimp. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ the most judgmental of faces. ]

Bruise, huh?

[sortileges]

...Maybe give it an hour.

[ He glances away then, letting his shirt drop and clears his throat awkwardly. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ smh merlin. she sighs and offers her glass of wine to him, asking for more. ]

Like that would do anything.

[sortileges]

[ He scrunches up his nose as he takes the glass, but it's more because of how adamant she is about it. He pours out the wine first though, holding it out to her steadily. His own glass is mostly done now so he tops that up as well. ]

You never know.

[psycholawgy]

[ ugh, she just makes a face after taking a sip. ]

I do know. I work with doctors when I'm not at the cafe.

[sortileges]

[ Shush!!! ]

I thought you worked more on the mental side of things?

[ He needs to stop being so stubborn, honestly!! ]

[psycholawgy]

That doesn't mean I can't have actual doctor friends, can I?

[ merlin, Please. ]

[sortileges]

[ He shakes his head at her. ]

No, you can't. [ The worst part is that he knows he's wrong.............. smh. ]

[psycholawgy]

Soooooo. . .

[ he looks at her expectantly. ]

Sea urchins are bad, okay? If you got hurt by one, I don't know what I'd do.
