[ Hearing that delightfulness makes him feel actually kind of proud? He's beaming like he has just won the newest trophy of ... something. ]
Well, thank you! I'd say they should have hired me to do the work on the garden, but I did just basically get through telling that guy I wouldn't work for them~
[ Yet, they are still free reign to dunk on as far as Merlin is concerned. ]
Haha, hmm...maybe I can say it was a part of handling the situation. Just kidding! Honestly, I wanted to see what it'd be like, and if you would say yes. That counts as a purpose, right?
[ Honestly, they should hire Merlin for the garden. Wei Wuxian would happily put in a good word for him. That bright look on his face and his words have Wei Wuxian laughing loudly, however, instead of offering up that good word. ]
Was it as good as you thought it would be? My hands aren’t as soft as a maiden’s.
[ ...You know what, if Wei Wuxian did, Merlin couldn't even be TOO mad.
When he laughs, it's infectious, and he's laughing himself. ]
A maiden's hands are much softer, it's true!
But, there's something about yours too. Molded by your own life as a hard-working human [ A magical cultivator able to control ghosts must always put in a ton of effort. ], that unique element makes me appreciate them even more. The warmth and the feeling of holding those hands of yours in my own was worth it.
[ But, confidence is an attractive trait, if anyone asked him. ]
Ah, caught red-handed! But, do you like the idea?
Me, hitting on you? And us spending time again as well, getting to know each other a little more in a dangerous situation?
[ Merlin is someone who has no shame, practically daring as he gives a wink. But he's not asking for anything too serious, of course. He's becoming a bit fond of Wei Wuxian, and likes their little talks. ]
[ Merlin doesn't even sound bothered at all, which is surely a good sign. Though, he doesn't think it is quite an answer, so he simply states... ]
So! As I was saying, I was thinking we can hang out a bit more. Hold hands a little, and enjoy more quality time talking about whatever we like. [ At least he's...a bit more clearer here. ] Like, come around again somewhere like this or elsewhere on the island sometime around this Friday evening! It'd be nice, enjoying quality time together. I know we just met, but why not? Up to you, of course!
[ He means it. So, on that note...Merlin will clap his hands together just once. ]
But anyway, I think we've just about spent enough time in here together. I know people need to rest up, so I will leave you to it.
[ With a snap of his fingers, everything appears as it normally did, so that no one else wanders into here and walks into a statue...it's illusionary magic at work, after all. But he will begin to head towards the exit, giving a little wave as he departs. ]

It's lovely. I much prefer your garden, to tell you the truth.
[ The sheer variety of flowers, especially without those eyesores called statues, is a real treat. ]
Though I do wonder... what was the purpose of holding my hands?

[ It feels like high praise, and while part of Wei Wuxain is surprised, he's mostly just smug. Awful. ]
If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were hitting on me.

Wei Wuxian honestly isn't sure what to say to that, so good work on making him speechless, Merlin, even if it's only for a moment. ]
Ah... you're even more shameless than I am.

That's what Merlin is alluding to. Wei Wuxian holds back laughter as he gives Merlin a shrug. ]
Sure, why not? I can't guarantee I'll hold hands with you, but I wouldn't mind spending more time with one another.
