The General Store was a small enough establishment that it almost felt like a shop back home in Camelot. There were still vast differences, of course, such as electricity and the lack of various animal parts being sold at a premium, but it wasn't as grand as the grocery store or even the book store to warrant a 'new-age' vibe. Of course, there wasn

"Those are not 'bubble gum,' though you can blow them up like bubbles," the Dragon (in human form) says earnestly. "But you will know because they do not taste the same."

Bubbles, balloons, condoms... eh? What does a Dragon know of technology at times?

Oh God, someone had seen. He wanted to do a facepalm, but didn't. He just looked incredibly tense and awkward.

"Uh... thanks. I will, keep that in mind." Merlin felt the need to crawl into a whole. He was thankful that Arthur was not around or else he would never hear the end of it.

But there was something about this woman that pulled at Merlin. The young Dragon Lord just couldn't put his finger on it at the moment as he was far too embarrassed to process magic or anything else.

The Dragon uses her tail to put one of the fallen boxes back on its hook. "You should be more careful," she says to the accident. "You could hurt yourself on some of the things here.

"How are you called?" she asks.

[youngmerlin]

The tail jarred Merlin out of his embarrassment as he followed it back to its owner. Embarrassment only had strength when you dwelt on it and with this new phenomenon in front of him, Merlin's redness began to fade.

Now that he was more in the 'here and now,' Merlin realized he could feel something from this woman.

"My name is Merlin." His eyes were intent on the other's. "And you?"

Zoe winced and debated about approaching the guy since he seemed so embarrassed but she wouldn't be much of a doctor if she didn't help someone that obviously was looking for a first time condom use without seeming to be looking.

"Here let me help." She bent down to begin picking up condoms to replace them. "It can be hard uh difficult to find the right one."

[youngmerlin]

Someone had noticed, it seemed, and boy was he embarrassed.

"What?" His eyes widened and then his shook his head, bringing his hands up in the negative as well. "N-no. I wasn't looking..."

Not that he didn't want to. He was a young adult male who had a lot of thoughts on the subject, but it would be his first time and he was from a time where people got married before they slept together so he didn't even think Rikki would want to and he would never presume to pressure her.

Merlin's face remained quite red.

"Oh okay, my bad." Zoe tried to smooth it over so he wouldn't be even more embarrassed. "I thought you got nervous trying to pick out the right one and that's how it got knocked over. Usually at the clinic at the safe sex talks, I just hand them out."

She reached down to pick up a few, "if you want, I can put these back for you. No one else noticed."

[youngmerlin]

As he stood there and she spoke, a little bit of the embarrassment went away. It was really only when she offered to do all the work herself that he decided to man-up. "No, no. It's okay. I can do it."

He crouched down to help pick up the boxes. He wouldn't let someone else do that for him.
