[As if the gods themselves have informed her that Merlin is trying to make an akward exit, Maya prevents an even more awkward re-entry by sticking her head out of the door to interrupt them.]
Are you two coming back yet?
[She is still giggling every few breaths, but at least she seems to be making an effort not to.]
It sounds like you're dancing with a horse out there.
[He's just. Gonna ignore that. As if his jokes are any better.
Wheeling back around to face Maya, and trying to look even the tiniest bit chill right now with his hand on his hip and ]
Oh-- yeah! Yeah, I'm comin'.
[She?? Wants to resume what they were doing?? --Wait, no, she's asking for Merlin to come too. Definitely friend time. That's fine! Totally fine. At least he can shake off this fluttery feeling in his stomach for now.
He turns back to Merlin, offering a crooked grin.]
[Maya reaches out and swats at Hanna, and then whispers in Way Too Loud a whisper—]
Shhh! Don't let him back in if he's not gonna be cool about it!!
[She warns, holding up the preroll she's brought for them.
Ah, so that was the original plan— feel bad with your bestie, then cheer up by getting high, just like when Hanna and Adrian were in pain from their changes—
Anyway there's no way Merlin didn't Also Hear that.]
[Merlin's eyes dart back and forth between them, suddenly trying to remember the state he left his room in. It shouldn't be....too much of a fire hazard. He thinks. The candle will probably be fine.
[She opens the door more, as if this is her room, and scampers back over to Hanna's bed to fish around for wherever a lighter might be. Probably under a book. Fire hazard much?]
[Once again Merlin's eyes start darting, but this time between Hanna and his now offered arm. It takes like two seconds before Merlin has an equally stupid grin and begins fanning himself aggressively.
He then proceeds in the stupidest voice he can muster:]
Oh goodness, SUCH a noble steed. I may very well faint~
[He flutters his eyelashes obnoxiously before taking Hanna's arm.]
[teases Maya over her shoulder, muffled slightly by the presence of the joint in her mouth. They might hear the flicking sounds of a lighter followed by a slightly-karmic tiny yelp.]
[Well, he was walking this prince down the aisle hallway with the cheesiest smile, but Maya's question is like a punch to the gut. Hanna was about to say something stupid to Merlin, but nope, the wind has been completely knocked out of him. Knees, capped. His words catch in his throat and he has to grab the doorjamb when he stumbles, trying not to topple over on Merlin when his stupid horse legs betray him.]
Whoa-- Sorry, sorry-- [Koff.] Heheh. My, uh. My stupid horse legs like to betray me.
[Perfect excuse to act like he was too busy tripping to hear Maya's question. Let's move the conversation along just in case she's brave enough to make that joke again..........]
So, uh, you ever smoked anything before? Do they even have weed in your world? Like, ~fantasy flower~ or something--
[Well, if Hanna stumbles, that only means Merlin's forced to stumble as well, and it totally kills his comedy routine. Some people!! He brushes himself off when Hanna's horse legs finally start behaving again and Merlin can't help but mouth "Fantasy flower?" while Hanna tries to explain weed to him.
Oh god, they really DO think he's baby.
Merlin weighs his options on how to continue this conversation. He could be so funny right now...
And so he slaps his cheek, pretending to be intrigued.]
You'll have to forgive me, I'm afraid I'm not following. Remember, you're talking to sheltered royalty here.
[Maya asks, as though Merlin doesn't get a choice in the matter.
When they're in the room enough to see, Maya will be sitting there in the middle of Hanna's bed as if it's hers, waiting for them and wringing her hand. She blows a cloud of smoke out and then fans it with her wrist, surprised by its look in the dim lighting. Real nice and fantasy flower for you.]
Oh. Uh! P-probably something easy? The ~bubbler~ might hit'im too hard, and-- well, honestly the joint might too... What do you think?
[Super casually dragging Merlin along to come and make himself comfortable on the bed alongside Maya. But definitely not asking him what he might be ready for.]
No worries, Hanna, he has absolutely no problem answering for him as he crawls onto the bed.]
My, what...jovial names. This is clearly some sort of fun, otherworldly activity you've pulled me into. Although, I do fancy myself the adventurous type, I think I can handle your "bubbler."
[He air quotes and chuckles to himself, as if amused by such a cute name.]
B-But only if you're willing to show me first. I'm a visual learner, after all.
[Maybe it was a mistake to use such a cutesy, sanitized term for it... At least "bong" is the sound it makes when the weed smacks you upside the head with a metaphorical frying pan.]
Uhhhh, you sure about that, buddy?
[Passing a distressed glance over to Maya. Does he really know what he's getting into?]
I mean we can show ya, no prob. But... It's, uh. Well. Iiiit'll be an experience!
[Maya turns to meet Hanna's gaze, but finds herself snorting and covering her mouth at Merlin's little experiences line. She looks to him, then, grinning.]
That's right. Prince Merlin, one of the Fearless Seven! I guess I should expect someone from a team like that to be a little bit of a dare devil.
[She would remember that. The only thing better than One Hero is Several Heroes, after all. Man, she wonders when Saint-Germain will be ready for the next set of Umbrella Academy comics...]
[Having taken another drag in the time Merlin took to respond, Maya breathes out more smoke in both the boys direction, making a sound that could somewhat be considered a passable interpretation of "dragon noises".]
Bwaaah. No, we're gonna be the dragons tonight!
[IT would be a great time to make a 'chasing the dragon' joke, except that it's not opium, and also she doesn't get that reference. Alas.]
