[ dskjgndsg His arm definitely shakes and he gives her a confused look... which in his case is at least a half smile as he lets a tiny laugh bubble up. ]

What are you doing?

[psycholawgy]

You were losing your cheer, so I just wanted to--

[ ah!! nvm... whatever!! she takes a step into the elevator and presses the button to merlin's floor with her elbow once they're inside. ]

[sortileges]

Sorry. [ He gives her a tiny little nosebutt in response, before kissing her temple. ]

A few people I knew have gone home by now, that's all. I was thinking about it.

[psycholawgy]

[ she purses her lips at his reply and just looks down awkwardly on the floor. ]

It's always tough when a friend disappears.

[sortileges]

[ He pulls her hand up to kiss the back of her hand, nuzzles it gently. ]

It'll be okay.

[psycholawgy]

[ ah... why is he so sweet when he's the one who should be comforted?? ]

Yeah... We'll all get them out of the Nexus eventually.

[sortileges]

Exactly. [ Then the elevator pings for his floor, so he leads her out, opening the apartment and lets her inside first. ]

[psycholawgy]

I'm coming in for a visit!

[ you know... just in case shigeru is in the living or dining room when she hops inside with a ton of blankets. ]

[sortileges]

[ Athena... he might be mute, but he isn't deaf. Merlin just closes the door behind him, and feels for Shigeru in the apartment by sending out a telepathic message. Nothing comes back though, so quietly he says: ] He's either sleeping already or out.

Come on. [ That done, he makes a beeline for his room, opening the door and stepping inside. He drops the blankets to the side and moves to his wardrobe. At the bottom is the hat, probably a little dusty by now. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ she dumps the blankets she's holding to the side too and tails merlin. ]

Put it on.

[sortileges]

Do I have to?

[ He glances back at her, clearly unsure about this. ]

[psycholawgy]

Pretty please? Pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease--

[ she's not going to stop until you do it, merlin. ]

[sortileges]

Oh for-- [ What? Who knows, because he unceremoniously slams the hat on his head, looking grumpy all the while. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ when he puts it on, there's an immediate flash. looks like she just took a picture of him with her cerevice. :') ]

Cheese!

[sortileges]

Athena?!

[ That's it, he's ripping it off, shoving it back in the cupboard and stomping on it ]

[psycholawgy]

Hey, wait!

[ fshsdlk she scrambles to grab the hat before it's fully destroyed :( ]

Don't do that!

[sortileges]

Did you want it?

[ He certainly doesn't :( ]

[psycholawgy]

If you don't want it, then I'll keep it!

It's cute...

[ :( ]

[sortileges]

[ ...Athena, he sure is learning something interesting here. He lets her pick it up to dust it off, and really it just needs popping back into place. It's fine. Then he plonks it on her head, careful of her hair considering she went through so much effort with that. ]

It doesn't go with the dress though.

[psycholawgy]

I didn't say on me.

[ she takes it off immediately and just hugs it in case he takes the hat back. ]

[sortileges]

On what, the dolphin?

[ He really doesn't get the fascination with it... sorry. ]

[psycholawgy]

If you don't want it, then I'm taking it, alright?

[ she mostly just wants to keep it because it's his :( ]

[sortileges]

I never said you couldn't. You could take pretty much almost anything of mine and I wouldn't mind.

[psycholawgy]

[ she looks down at her feet as she fidgets. ]

I just want this.

[sortileges]

You don't have to keep asking for it. [ This is so confusing... ]
