[If Merlin were less self-aware, Hanna might have been put off by this incredible charm a while ago, but since he's more than sure that it's legit, he can't even be mad that he is incredibly charming.]
I'ma be honest-- [He turns his head to face the nymph, looking serious despite the somewhat mischievous twinkle in his eye.] I think they're just jealous. Now-- don't say that to anybody, duh, but it would explain why they're so quick to jump on you. They only wish they could be a charming, princely wizard. ...Wizardly prince?
Anyway-- I like that you're you. I-- I really appreciate how you're 100% Merlin and you're not afraid to be exactly who you are. A lotta people... don't really like themselves! So of course they're gonna be intimidated when they meet someone like you.
[Hanna doesn't quite like himself all the time either, but at least he recognizes it.]
Which, y'know, was why I was throwing around those vibes! You're kinda like Maya, Unapologetically You, which was why I thought maybe you'd be a mermaid. Buuut I guess I got carried away, cos... you're really funny when you get all puffed up and stuff. It's cute! Super cute, but like... not worth getting you upset like before, y'know? So... I'll tone down the teasing. Promise.
