See, now I'm positive something happened, because I have NO idea what "the shorts" is referring to.

...Aaaaand I really don't want to, if they make ANY version of me think of milk.

I apologize, Hanna, but I don't believe I'm the Merlin you're so...enamored with??? Not that I can blame your excellent taste, I'm actually a little tickled that even in alternate timelines, people can still get Merlin'd. ;)

:C

you sure? like for real?

like hahahaha its such a good joke merlin, i laughed i promise! you got meeee ahahhaah

[Sure, it probably is some weird Ryslig Happening, like there has been biweekly for the last fog-knows-how-long, but this one SUCKS. But...it's just as likely that it's not a Happening and Merlin is just putting his whole florussy into gaslighting him over those silly shorts.

Hanna wouldn't put that beyond him in any universe.]

you can stop playing now! you got me SO good!

[Hm, just how close was Hanna with this other version of him? He's acting like he's almost in...denial? Merlin can feel his face heat up, the more he thinks about it, the more he has to realize that this version of Hanna is actually...smitten with him. So much so that it doesn't look like he wants to lose him.

He'll just have to try and ignore the fluttering in his chest, he's just...flattered...is all. It's cute! It's not like he isn't used to people crushing on him back home, and it isn't like HIS version of Hanna feels this way.

...Right?

Still, he can't give him the wrong idea. If this nonsense is to last the month, he'd rather set his boundaries now before someone's heart gets broken.]

If you truly are with some version of me, then you should know I would NEVER play when it comes to romance.

[Unfortunately it's too late for that. Of course, it isn't Merlin's fault... Just Ryslig deciding to play some dirty jokes on Hanna this time around. That's all!

It does mean that it takes forever for him to respond again though, needing a little while to get his head back on straight and figure out the best way to navigate out of this awkward situation...]

yeah no yeah, you're right. merlin would never play about matters of the heart. 8']

okay well LOL ignore that whole thing then! hope i didnt make things too weird for you haha

[It's soooo much easier to play it casual over text than it is in person. At least this Merlin won't have to feel bad. That's the last thing any version of Hanna would want.]

[Ah, he was wondering if he'd ever get a message back. Merlin didn't think he was THAT scathing, but the silence let him stew in his thoughts for awhile. It really must be hell to be in love with someone, only to have them not remember any of it at all. What if Snow ever showed up and didn't remember him as her husband? He'd be absolutely crushed... Fish Hanna must truly be suffering...

Then again, a Merlin who hasn't been married must've arrived beforehand, which would mean he was still cursed... A cursed Merlin to arrive in Ryslig completely cured without learning a single thing would be absolutely unbearable to be around, and now he worries about fish Hanna's taste in men...]

Well that is all very well and good, but I am STILL stranded in Bavan until either one of you picks me up!!

oh... for real? where you at?

lemme get maya and we can come get u

The library.

[He types it like it should be obvious, at least for a supposed LOVER.]

If we MUST, I won't complain if you still want to pick up some ice cream.

well duhhh i shoulda guessed that
still, doesn't hurt to check! woulda hated pulling up to the cafe across town and you not been there :P

but sounds good to me! it's still your turn to pick the flavor this time, though :P so it's entirely up to you
