Yeah. I understand that, Merlin.

[She does. She really does.]

And as nice as it is to hear that, you...really should go see her. Soon.

[Rei doesn't want to push her friend away, but Athena is going to need him.]

[ He shifts slightly, eyes dropping back to his hands again. ]

I'm just worried I'll say the wrong thing. A lot's happened, it's hard trying to slot everything into place.

[faithfulflame]

So, take it slowly. Just reach out to her, via text if you have to.

[Patting him on the shoulder, Rei tries to fill her voice with encouragement.]

She wants you back, she cares about you. You just have to show her that you do too. That's what she wants most.

[sortileges]

Text wouldn't be good enough, I don't think. [ His jaw tenses a little, before he forces himself to relax. ]

I need to do it properly. I'll just take a ten minute walk then go and see if she's at her apartment. ...Are you going to be okay?

[faithfulflame]

Me? I'm just fine.

[Merlin. You're the one who's upset. She's perfectly alright.]

[sortileges]

I... didn't mean it like that.

[ He's really just checking if their time is up for today. ]

[faithfulflame]

Go. See your girlfriend.

[Rei pops up and kisses him on the cheek.]

Shoo!
