[ At least Wei Wuxian also laughed, as Merlin puffs a little at the critter. It's not the worst thing, even if it means that Fou has ensured his total embarrassment; if his own slightly flushed cheeks were not apparent due to their moment, then it'd be maybe from this.
Fou seems, of course, also delighted at the laughter. ]
Yes, because Fou is a little troublesome beast sometimes.
Just for that, I'm not spoiling him anymore. [ To Fou: ] In fact...why don't you run off for a little while? You're getting in the way!
[ "Fou." Fou says impertinently and somehow spitefully falls asleep for a bit.
...
His life is so hard? He sighs again and turns back over to Wei Wuxian. ]
...So! I assume my majestic image hasn't been completely ruined by that little segue~?
[ Merlin even gives a wink and a bright smile, though petals pop up around him 'coincidentally', or rather he's just doing that to enhance the effect. He's just being himself again...but, on that note, he should probably comment on what they just did. ]
Incidentally, I'm glad I was able to rope you into a bit of one-on-one indulgence. Not that I had planned to do so on our second outing, but there's always something exciting about pleasant surprises and personal enjoyment.
Life is the most fun when you're able to live it to the fullest, after all.
Mm...I don't think there's any point in hiding it. But, yes, I did mean it!
[ Merlin states very cheerily, because yes, of course he is not going to take back what he said about Wei Wuxian being a catch and honestly he has become rather fond of Wei Wuxian in their short time knowing one another. He can only hope they can continue to have these chats.
In fact, when (if) they meet up again (which even he has reservations he might not be able to, depending on how the meeting between the hosts go), they can 'get to know one another more', and tell his good buddy here how stupid their so-called hosts were in person. ]
It's natural for someone like me to think such things with little hesitation, though if I were like everyone else...maybe you'd have to be truly concerned. [ A wink. ] But, trust me when I say I still enjoy hanging out just for the sake of it. As long as we do what we like and have fun, that's what matters, right?
[ He's honored that Merlin likes hanging out with him for the sake of it, honestly. It's been a while since anyone has expressed that thought. Who knew raising the dead would put so many people off of him? ]
I suppose you're right. It isn't as if I can say you're wrong, as that's exactly what I do anyway.
[ Some people are just jelly they can't pull up angy, resentful zombies out of the ground. ]
Knew you'd agree~
Anyway, I should probably leave you to it now. I can't just have you to myself all night.
[ Plus, Wei Wuxian needs time to absorb what happened here, right? Right? Absolutely.
Merlin kneels down to scoop Fou carefully and gently into his arms, smiling a little to himself as he considers something. ]
...Oh, just one more thing. I don't plan to go down easily, but if for some reason in the next couple of weeks, I do, please ensure Fou is taken care of. Whether it's by you or someone else. You seem like the type of person I can trust to do that.
That said, I'll see you again tomorrow! It was fun with you, like always. We can meet up in the garden at night, just like before~
[ Then, Merlin waves with a one hand (the other still cradling Fou), before heading off with a skip in his step, like all is right in the world. And like they're not about to soon face a reminder of how this situation of theirs is no joke. ]

[ He grins at Merlin as his gaze momentarily travels to the sleeping Fou. ]
All the embarrassment in the world can’t ruin a nice face.

So you weren’t planning on it this time, but eventually? I know you rated me highly, but I didn’t realize it was so sincere.
