[Wow, Hanna super can't relate, but it's nice to know that someone he likes is so well-loved by the people in his own universe. The way Merlin lights up when he talks about his life back home is so genuine that it warms the kelpie to his once-empty core. Sure, it would be easy to think this guy's just full of himself, but like Hanna said earlier, he's got everything he needs to back up his claims! You can't expect a prince to not act like a prince, okay--]
I dunno what everybody else's problem is, but it's messed up that you think you have to thank me just for being nice to you... Not that you're messed up or anything, but-- just. Wow.
[He flops down in the open space next to Merlin, dangling his legs off the edge of the bed and folding his hands over his belly.]
I know it's a hell of a culture shock just to show up here, but I can't imagine showing up as royalty to a place that doesn't even know your kingdom exists... That's gotta hurt. But... I think you'll be able to make more friends real easy! We just gotta maybe not do it on the internet. When people don't have faces to tie to the things they say, they're more likely to be extra shitty. But when people can actually see you in person and see what a cool and fun guy you are, they'll think twice about being a jerk to you!
[That's certainly a... hopeful perspective on the situation, Hanna. Now let's just hope it works out!]
