[The feed opens with Merlin smiling lightly at the camera. There's still some shadow under his eyes, but the smile is genuine, at least.]Ven? Haven't spoken to you in a while so I thought I'd check in and see when you think you'll be back in Goldenrod. Turns out I'll be taking those lessons from Lightning with you, so we might see each other sooner

[TOO LATE, MERLIN. Heather's already coming around the corner and you BET she's laughing her ass off.]

[Forever.]

[Action]

[tiercelet]

[Ignoring you for the sake of his sanity]

...this...really isn't my day, is it.

[Action]

[foolishwren]

[Heather's leaning against one of the clothing stands, still laughing, although at least for the sake of his dignity, it's subsiding a little.]

Pffff-- no, I guess it isn't.

Welcome to the Goldenrod Department Store, yo.

[Action]

[tiercelet]

Thanks. I think.

[He gestures at the...garments helplessly, still red]

...could you?

[pullswhales]

[Have some light giggling, Merlin. She didn't take you for the type to like lacy undergarments.]

[Video]

[tiercelet]

[ogod the video was still on wasn't it. Merlin wonders if it's possible to die of embarrassment]

...hi, Feferi. This...erm..really isn't what it looks like.

[Video]

[pullswhales]

Yes, I heard you. I'm sorry, I still find it amusing.

[Video]

[tiercelet]

...well, at least someone can still laugh about it. [sigh]

[photonsaber]

[La la la~ There is a little girl shopping in the Department Store and just... stares at him and the lingerie that are on the floor. She doesn't really make a face at him or anything.]

Do you need help with that, Mister?

[Action]

[tiercelet]

[CONFLICTED FEELINGS. It feels wrong leaving the...things strewn on the floor, but asking a complete stranger for help...?]

Erm. Yes, if you...wouldn't mind. Someone knocked them over, and...I...really shouldn't be touching these things. [The redness returns to his face]

[Action]

[photonsaber]

[She bends over and sits on her legs and starts to pick up the things on the floor.]

Why not? It's not like you'll catch a disease or anything!

[Action]

[tiercelet]

...people would get the wrong idea. Ones of the saleswomen here already did.

[action]

[restardom]

[ and in a few minutes, there's another voice. ]

So Melinda said something about a "guy with disturbing habits"...

[Action] omg Rise XDD

[tiercelet]

[Okay, embarrassment with friends >>>> embarrassment with complete strangers. Merlin's very close to finding some convenient hole to crawl into]

...this isn't what it looks like, Rise. I swear.

[Action] I couldn't resist XD

[restardom]

Yeah, you're right.

[ and with perfect calm, Rise plucks the lingerie out of his hands and looks it over critically. ]

This totally isn't your size.

[Action] /DIES

[tiercelet]

[Choking. Choking forever. at sounded way too much like what Gwen had said back home]

...it isn't. I don't. [Hides his face in his hands and just. sighs]

[ video ]

[imthe_shit]

... [HE'S NOT LAUGHING, BUT HE LOOKS LIKE HE WANTS TO.]

[Video]

[tiercelet]

[How many people saw that? Merlin's not sure he wants to know, really]

...hi. Would you happen to know somewhere I could hide for the next few days. Possibly weeks?

[Video]

[imthe_shit]

Hnn... If you need to learn how to disappear, I can teach you some of my own tactics.

[Video]

[tiercelet]

...really? [That would be useful in a time like this...]
