[ 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!
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. ]
Athena. [ His hand slides up until he can cup her cheek. ] Don't think about the "what if"s when it didn't happen. I'm fine. Great, even. It didn't happen.
He said you were a jerk. He's— He's a Servant, so... [ oh, but so is merlin. hold on. . . ] I mean, he's this historical thing? He's called a Servant. And he knows so many historical figures. He said that any Merlin would be like the one he knows.
[ she isn't sure what else to do now. she should probably continue eating, but she's just far too upset with archer to have an appetite. ]
[ He scrunches his face up ] I'd say Arthur was the jerk, if you ask me.
But sorry... I definitely didn't know him before, but I can't speak for who he knows. The... The Merlin someone else knew was different too. They told me that his world was gone and he travelled between worlds.
[ he doesn't really have anything to be sad about. athena on the other hand, is upset, though. she thinks back on her wasted friendship and how she trusted archer with her life but... well, she clearly was wrong about him. ]
[ He's sad because she's sad... and wishes he never opened his mouth. It isn't as bad as when he lied and evaded things, but it still hurts to know she was upset. He just picks at the spaghetti now, not eating it. ]
[ it makes her blood boil, that somebody she actually knows threatened merlin like that. as if being threatened by the flamines wasn't enough already. it just hurts all the more because she knows what archer is capable of. and while she trusts in merlin, archer could have probably injured him if they did end up in a confrontation.
she wouldn't be able to forgive archer if such a thing happened. she can't even forgive him now for talking to merlin like that. ]
[ He doesn't know what she's thinking, but he can tell she's keeping it to herself. It's hard to want to talk in a situation like this, but he tries. ]
I have to cook for Arthur all the time, it's different.

Sorry, I really didn't know who it was at first either, and he wouldn't say. [ A small shrug. ] I didn't want you to get upset.
no subject
It's not your fault. It was his! I can't believe I wanted to apologise to that jerk!

--it's okay.

It's not okay. He was trying to interfere.

He wanted to hurt you... I— He wanted me to break up with you, but I didn't want to.
[ and softly, as if just resigning, she says: ] I thought he was my friend.

I really don't know why he doesn't like me. He wouldn't explain it properly.

[ she at least manages to pick up her fork and start poking at the spaghetti. ]
Let's just-- I don't know. Forget about this.

[ He says it so quietly though, not even eating anymore. He can't, now. ]

If I ever see him again, I swear...

It's nothing. [ she twists her fork to catch some noodles on its teeth and takes a bite. ]

Alright, it's nothing.

[ she can tell that the air around them's gone awkward, but as always, it was her fault anyway, so she at least tries to lighten the mood again. ]
