[Rei lets out a long, slow breath, leaning forward and moving her hand up to grip Merlin's shoulders. Loneliness is a powerful emotion, one she knows all too well.]

It was lonely at first, for me too. I...when I was a child, I could always do things, see things other people couldn't. But then I found my people, the other guardians. And we connected. Became friends.

[And then she wasn't lonely anymore.]

You'll get there. Arthur will understand, one day. I know it, in my heart I know you're not going to be alone forever. [He's too likable. Too friendly.]

And you're definitely not alone here.

[ He glances up when she moves to grip his shoulder instead, but it's only a moment after that he turns his face away. There's a little bitterness to it, a little tiredness too from having to hide. ]

All I want is for Arthur to see me as who I really am... and accept me. I think I have a long way to go before that can happen.

[ A very long and lonely road awaits... ]

[Rei nods, getting that completely. She had hated it too, but here at least, and now at home, she didn't have to hide any longer.]

You'll get there. Time. That's the great uniter.

[ He claps his hands together, and while he wants to ask but how long do I have to live like that? he doesn't. ]

That's if I don't kill him for being an ass first.

[ So he jokes instead, gives Rei a smile like everything is 100% okay. ]
