'Fraid it's already too late. I'm off doing these idiotic things while a much smarter man would lay in bed with you all day, instead.

[He sighed melodramatically, touching his brow.]

I'm already beyond hope.

[notyetlegend]

[Yeah, it was a pretty pointless thing to say. Merida pinches the bridge of her nose as she flushes a delicate shade of pink.]

If I wanted a smarter man I would've gone after one.

[red_branch]

Regardless, I learn from my mistakes. I'll have to replace myself with an even more amorous and dashing version of myself in apology for my absenteeism.

[Or, y'know. Same model.]

[notyetlegend]

[Shaking her head with a small sigh.]

So in other words, you'll be yourself.

[red_branch]

You'd be bored if I started easing up.

[She'd probably get to relax a little, anyway.]

[notyetlegend]

Mmh, I guess so.

[teasingly]

Is that why you're whiskin' me off? Don't want me gettin' bored?

[red_branch]

Let it be said that the presence of a beautiful woman beats most things in the world.

[Careful, he was gearing towards other compliments--]

It's for selfish reasons other than that.

[notyetlegend]

[If you were in front of her, she'd smack you with a pillow.

But still]

Selfish reasons? What might those be?

[Dare she even ask.]

[red_branch]

[The look she gave him. If only--]

Well, y'know. Magic stuff. The long and short of it is--someone's doing me a big favor.

[notyetlegend]

[Huh. That was a different reason than what she thought he meant, but okay.]

Must be pretty big if you're bein' all secretive. I don't know if I should be jealous or not.

[red_branch]

Hmmm. [The problem with hesitating was--it didn't work when he wanted to tease.]

Go ahead, then. Jealousy is pretty flattering, I've got to admit.

[notyetlegend]

Maybe I shouldn't then. Wouldn't want your ego to get inflated.
