[ Shaking it off isn't something he's finding easy, even when he sinks down into her. It's just a little much on top of everything else. Because he isn't letting go though, it means there are no more memories swirling in his own head. ]
Do you? It was your memory, not mine.
[ His voice sounds tight though, rough around the edges. ]

[ the hottest mess...
but really he just laughs ]
Stop that! It's probably not even midnight yet. [ They may actually topple into the water at this rate when he reaches for her to yank her down and to stop her from rowing more. Ah. ]

[ um. what?
her mouth opens a tad bit to says something, but she hesitates. there's a reason why she doesn't talk about herself. because she likes keeping things to herself. she might love merlin, but she feels like this is an invasion of her privacy. it's not his fault, though.
she just can't shake the feeling of being paranoid now. ]
Mine? How-- what-- [ does she even want to know what he saw? she's so scared now. ] What did you see? Why mine?

[ they... they probably will tbh ]
Hey! [ she squirms to break loose from his grip. ] Don't!
Hey! [ she squirms to break loose from his grip. ] Don't!
[ He just bites down on his lip until it's close to bleeding, and shakes his head slightly. ]
I don't know why but-- [ It's hard to get the words out though. ] --you were happy. [ So why is he crying? Well....................... ] With him. Weren't you?

[ that's... that's not answering her question at all. her heart is beating wildly now because she doesn't know what to think. what did he see?]
What are you talking about?
What are you talking about?
[ good going guys ]
Don't what? [ He can't stop laughing though, it's always amusing when she's flustered, apparently and he only tries to tug her into him all the more. ]

[ Yeah, good question huh. ]
Simon. [ It's the only word he says as he slowly starts to pull away from her, instead moving to twist on the tap so he can wash his face, trying to keep his face blank. It's all for appearances though, she knows what his heart is saying. ]

Merrrrlin!
[ THE BOAT IS ROCKING WILDLY jesus god help them ]

[ to an outsider this probably looks and sounds like a steamy sex session... ah. ]
What?
What?
[ athena takes a few steps back, but it's only making her headahe worse, really. she only stops when her back hits the wall and it's then when she drops her head.
she still doesn't know what he saw, but if he's crying about it then she can only assume it's a memory of her and simon from when they started dating. and it doesn't sit well with her at all. she's angry now--not at him, but at the situation--and feeling so shocked. should she have been honest with him before and told him that she used to go out with simon before they met? it's probably too late to regret not talking now though. ]
Simon and I-- [ god... this is so difficult. ] We-- I was happy with him. But he's in the Nexus now. And I've moved on.

[ NO???? WHO WOULD EVEN THINK THAT!!! ]
Let go!
Let go!
[ He isn't looking at her, instead splashes cold water on his face, disguising the fact that he'd been crying before. He isn't now, jaw set as he holds it back. He didn't want to upset her over this either, he knows Simon is no longer there, after all. There's little point in getting worked up over it long term but-- ] I could feel it. In the memory. That's why.
[ He just makes a small noise as he looks back at her, before he looks away. ] Sorry.
[ He just makes a small noise as he looks back at her, before he looks away. ] Sorry.
[ look the boat is rocking and she's yelling out a name........ who wouldn't?!?!?! ]
Stop trying to row then!
Stop trying to row then!
[ she doesn't want to look him in the eye, feeling so fucking exposed right now. it's terrible and embarrassing and mostly terrible. it's like he can see everything about her now and she really doesn't like it. ]
Even if I did go back home, and he was there, I don't think the two of us could be like that again.
[ should she be apologising too?? she honestly doesn't know, but why does she have to apologise for something that's in the past? it's not like she hasn't been loyal to merlin. and she loves him. she'd choose him over anybody else, even over simon. ]
Was there anything else you wanted to say?

[ NOBODY BECAUSE THEY CAN SEE THE PEOPLE RIDING THE BOAt?? ]
Fine!
[ she drops the oars.
into the water.
HAPPY???? ]

You don't need to explain anything. I know. [ He didn't ask her to verify anything, he just wished he'd been able to hold in his own emotions better so she didn't panic about it.
But really, maybe she wouldn't have to feel so exposed if she'd been more open to begin with... just saying :< Not that it's something he thinks -- he doesn't. He just. ]
Can I just have a few minutes? [ He only looks at her through the bathroom mirror, eyes lowered a bit. ]

[ THEY'RE INSIDE IT RIGHT NOW ........... oh my god ]
Well......... [ He raises both eyebrows at her, then reaches up to grab her hands. ] We can do this hands free if you'd prefer?
[ What a terrible joke, but he can move the boat on his own anyway. She didn't have to row to begin with. ]

The ice pack is just right there. It'll help.
[ probably.
but she leaves the bathroom without saying anything else. she meets her fox on her way back to her bedroom and when she flops back on her bed, it just decides to curl under it, not making a sound. athena doesn't even want to get mad at it anymore. she's feeling so many emotions all at once that it's a bit overwhelming. ]

[ what is he even talking about at this point, she is so lost. she just wants!!! to win!!!! the conversation!!!! ]
What?
What?
[ He gives her a slightly guilty look, knowing his reaction probably made this worse. He can't exactly help it though. It takes him longer than he said too, re-emerging from the bathroom 10 or so minutes later. His own fox follows until he gets on the bed to join her, and instead hops under the bed to curl up next to Athena's fox instead. It makes soft noises as if trying to soothe it for being bullied, but after a few notes quietens.
Now it's just eerily quiet until he reaches out with a cold hand to touch her face, forgetting his skin is cooler because of the ice pack. The good news for her though is that it won't trigger a memory, it just does for him. It's only super short though, nothing of importance. ]
Hey.

Hey.
[ He pushes himself to sit up then, placing her hands on the sides of the boat. He gives her a small smile, before murmuring Astyre. His eyes flash gold then slowly the boat starts to move in a circle, drifting off course from before. ]
[ she only looks at him for a split second before she looks the other way, having no intention of facing him right now. it doesn't even matter if his hand is cold. ]
Hey. [ at least she's talking to him. ]
Hey. [ at least she's talking to him. ]
[ she looks around frantically as the boat starts moving on its own. it's been some time since she found out that merlin has magic, but it still astonishes her every time he uses it. ]
Woah...
Woah...
[ Yeah, okay. He'll just move his hand away and take a deep breath instead. It isn't like he asked for this either. He doesn't know what to do, because as far as he's aware she's the only one who had her memories exposed here. ]
Do you want me to go for a bit?
[ He stares up at the ceiling, wondering if he should have just lied and said it was the deaths again, anything but the truth.
But he'd promised to be honest with her............ even if she hasn't been honest with him all the time. Or at least not open. ]
