He slams into the ground, smiles innocently. "Yes I did... I'm not denying anythiiing."

"Mate, you don't have to prove anything to anyone. It only gets worse the harder you fight. Just nod your head and smile."

"Your mind wanders to the most interesting places."

Oh! He's pleasantly surprised. And some extra treats were tossed in there, too. His smile remains, but it dims somewhat, losing all its toothiness in the process. He tilts his head, making an expression that ❪might❫ mean he's perplexed. A few seconds pass like this. Then the demon scoops up his ↷

"Sorry, I didn't quite catch that." Grinning now, he frees Majora's tongue so he can spit venom with renewed clarity. Or not. He doubts he'll get an encore. "Now what were you saying?"

"You know how in MMOs, you reach a point where you're so overleveled that the regular enemies can't even damage you anymore? So they're swiping at you while you're tabbed out doing something else. And once you're done, you tab back in and one shot them? That's how some of you feel to me."

"More than happy... I think... I think I'm in love with you?" He swipes to grab Majora's tongue by instinct. Didn't even think about it.

"A shame, I love that word. Don't hear it enough these days." Pat, pat.

"Cheeky little devil whispering in my ear. Fine. You'll get your entertainment."

"When the universe crumbles, there exists, for a moment, no rules and no limitations but your own. Once you break the first rule..." He gestures vaguely. "The rest is up to you. Don't make a decision you'll regret."

so, i love you because the entire universe conspired to help me find you.

Ah. What a terribly droll name. Twinheart is much better.

"Oh, I'd love to go back to bed. Thank you."

"You are a geezer among geezers. I pity you."

Nonsense. You are never too old for a cute nickname! I am twice your age and still receiving them.

You shall henceforth be dubbed Twinheart. It's cute.

Unsure to whom you refer.

"Is it in the hundreds, thousands, or millions?"

"Tut tut, getting attached to mortals like that is no good, you know?" He doesn't hide the amusement in his tone, and it ends up sounding more chipper than a scolding. "Here's a question for you. If you break one rule, what stops you from breaking another?"

Fair point. There's many more long-lived races out there, though.

800 is pretty young.

"I cannot shirk my duties. At the very least, I try to keep my word." The sudden clinging does draw his eye. He pauses his rose-colored embroidery to examine Majora's expression. "You seem troubled."

"Yes. I haven't been able to observe you for some time. And yes, you spread your disease to the innocent." His opinion on plushies has not improved. "I am avoiding a great many inconvenient things, some of which could take my arm off. It's only logical."

"I guess it is your turn to be bratty." He loosely places a hyacinth into Majjy's hair. The longer the hug lasts, the more flowers will find their way there. "What have you been up to lately?"

He squeezes the deity tight with sheepish smile. "Are you mad at me?"

Oh yeah, that about covers everything, huh.

merlin, first time meeting me in this timeline: h- me, predicting years of awkward encounters: it's small, please leave me alone. i also have a tendency to get sudden bowel movement issues when i get nervous and stressed so i really wouldn't try in the back either. im so sorry.

"I didn't run away. I turned invisible."

( He feels like he's been impaled on a bed of nails. Is it too late to run away...? ) Ah... Right, though... I'm not much of a 'raising hell' kind of guy, you know? I'm sure Berserker could humor you there. As for me... Can we just stick to conversation and tea?

... ... ( Once again, Merlin disappears. )

Merlin has been listed as Rafflesia in his contacts.

... Right now?

He is not going anywhere near Ash, that's for certain.

... Yes, I'll make sure to do just that.

// My note that I don't think I've forgotten any of my threads (even if I haven't replied in a long time). My muse kind of low, logged on, and my muse got even lower lol. I'll be on other accounts for now but I'll try to get back to everyone soon.

He makes a great show of appearing; the usual flurry of petals and faint wisps of mana. His form hovers above the plushie, resisting the insistent urge to land on top of it, crushing it underfoot. "Usually, warlocks use the name in their summoning spells, but I rather like the titles."

"Sometimes is key. It is sometimes more a flaw than a boon." He holds Majora close with one arm while he gazes lazily into the sky. "My philosophy is enjoying the little things and sweating the big things."

"Eh?" He'd already forgotten. It was more funny than anything, so it slid right off of him. "Dunno what you mean. Methinks you worry too much."

Merlin catches him with a massive grin. "I glad you enjoyed it. I spent a while designing it... Or is it more impressive saying I made it up on the spot, like the prodigy I claim to be?"
