[ she just shakes her head then, dismissing the whole thing. ]
I mean, I did go to the waterpark once with Ryuko and Simon and everybody else, but that was different. People got stuck in the slides and there were giant crabs attacking people. [ probably not the best impression of the waterpark, huh? ] It was fun, though. But I've never gone to the aquarium, or stayed at a hotel here.
I have no idea. I only heard about it from the others.
[ there were a ton of people who could fight when they had that big shindig at the waterpark. it was fine!!! she gets out of the taxi immediately, though, taking his hand again and brushing her skirt with her other hand once she's out. ]
It was still a fun day for everybody, so don't worry, okay? We'll have a good time when we go there. [ it's then that she sways their hands a bit, too trying to reassure him that nothing bad is going to happen. ]
[ fine. she drops her fork on her plate with a pretty loud noise and takes the cerevice, reading the messages. her expression goes from calm-angry to just plain angry when she reaches the end, brows furrowing even more. ]
What is wrong with him?! I told him he was wrong about you! [ she sets down his cerevice then, and slides it over to his side. ] He's always been such a coward!
I'm with you, I don't doubt that... it's just... [ He bites his lip. ] It's just... they really can't be trusted, can they?
[ He holds her hand a little tighter, just for a second, then reaches to take their luggage and lead her inside. They queue up to check in, Merlin doing the forms for them while Athena waits with him. Someone takes their luggage and key and leads them to the elevator, and then they get taken up... and up... and up...?!
When they open the doors to the hotel room the person with their bags wheels them inside, bows and offers: ]
Enjoy your stay, Mr and Mrs Wyllt. [ Merlin just chokes tbh, but if Athena looks inside she'll see he definitely splashed out on the honeymoon suite. ]
What?! Hey! We're not— [ that was definitely very, very loud. in fact, probably louder than apollo's voice. she turns back to face the bellboy and explain but he's gone. LIKE SHE CAN FOCUS ON THE ROOM RIGHT NOW?!?!?
then she looks up at merlin, blushing madly. lbr she already admitted that she does want to marry him at some point in the future, but this is just too much!!! ] Why did he— [ think they're married?! ]
[ she blinks a couple of times before she manages to snap herself out of it. if they're going to spend two nights here together, she probably shouldn't make things awkward?!?! which is why she takes a few small steps into the suite, passing by the bathroom and into the room itself. ]
Woah... [ the first thing she notices is definitely the ceiling. it's water? is there an aquarium above their room? it's breathtaking, to say the least. ]
That doesn't make it okay! He tried to hurt you— what if... [ what if archer did an attempt and actually succeeded? she just trails off then, not saying anything else. ]
[ He coughs then moves to close the door behind them, finally taking in the room as well. He pulls his bag off her case and puts it on the floor instead, and rather than look at the room he watches her. ]
