"There may have been a text," she admits. Although it would have been cool if she had, like, a Merlin-sense that told her when he was in danger. Maybe she can manage that if she reincarnates again. "I put it together from there."
"Ah, you were worried about me," he was really touched by how much they've grown close over the years. How, even after high school, they call and talk to each other every day. They were best of friends and when she isn't near he feels like a part of him is missing.
"I should call you Sherlock from now on." He smiled fondly at her. Too bad he doesn't remember the things he said to her while intoxicated. Like how much he loves her and the kiss he tried to give her. (or did give her. How did her necklace end up on his floor?)
(An excellent question - the answer to which certainly has nothing to do with the way she pulled herself away because drunk Merlin is not a Merlin fit for making major decisions about their relationship. Which she'll totally figure out how to address. At some point.)
"It didn't actually take that much putting together," she admits. "You kind of went for one of the most convenient bars possible."
The wizard thought about the 'Sherlock' thing a moment longer with another sip of coffee, then made a face. "You're right. An 'A' name is a much better fit for you, like Arthur." He teased with a wink.
Merlin sat in silence as he ate another donut, getting white powder over his face and the front of his robe. He knew Allie would tell him anything he needed to know from last night. Out of anyone he knew it was her that he trusted the most. Hey, they had gone through a past life together after all.

Beat.
"Also, I don't think 'Sherlock' really fits me."
