[ it's pretty blatantly obvious that Merlin's trying to work the angle that will get him laid. which Nero is resolutely not interested in again, no matter how much he's mentioning her good time. heated enough that when Robin's gone, it's Merlin who has to crane over her shoulder and say "I'd recommend going after him".
goddamnit! he made off with her bra!!
men are useless!!
Nero's heels click angrily with how fast she has to run after him. ]
Get back here! Robin! ROBIN!
[ what's gotten into him? there's an ear flickering so she knows he hears her. but he won't stop. Nero breaks into a jog as nerves speed up - has something happened? is he unwell? for as terrible a hangover as he had, she wouldn't be surprised if he'd gone to throw up (did Servants vomit....? Nero never has. she holds her liquor well). why won't he look at her?
Merlin why were you so. useless. ]
Stop this! If you're troubled -
[ Nero hates silence. it leaves room for trouble to creep in and grow like mold in dark spaces. and room for thoughts such as - why does it gnaw at her, that he won't stop? that he's walked away from her? Nero had been here to help. wanted to be with him until he was normal, back to the Robin she knew, who didn't snarl at passerbys.
...did she know him though? no. Nero's confident in this as much as anything. sure that, when she finally catches up and yanks back his arm, it'll be an annoyed scowl. a strained, but not too pained, expression. after all. when she called enough, he had come to her. ]
Stop! Stop at once! Why did you leave? You're being extremely rude!
