[Merlin sits silently the entire time Hanna rests on him, his face says all he needs to say anyway. Inaccuracies or not, Hanna knows his deepest, darkest secret somehow and has shown he is NOT afraid to use it against him. Forgive him if he's not thrilled over this revelation, Merlin just figured the ONE THING he could have in a new, horrible world was the fact that no one would ever have to know about...................THAT.
The only thing that keeps him from crawling into a hole to die is the way Hanna rubs his back. Regardless of his sudden newfound fear of the kelpie and the power he now holds over him, that still feels...really good.
And Merlin has become more touch starved than he realized since his arrival.]
