Luckily for her, Allie has an actual, legitimate medical excuse for not talking to Miles about That Thing for at least a day, like the fact that she's barely conscious for most of them. She still feels kind of sick and exhausted, but better. The police told her there's not much they can do to find out who slipped a drug in her meal, but the Order's working on it.

In the meantime, Jen's basically redecorated her hospital room with more comfortable blankets and pillows and something like a hundred bouquets of flowers, having dragged along a few of her knights as muscle for setting things up. It takes an hour before Jen finally decides she's settled in enough to leave her alone, and even then, she knows that there's a few more Order members than usual keeping an eye on her hospital room.

She has a conversation to deal with, though, and she hugs her legs to her chest when Miles approaches. "Hey."

He is more than a little weary when he approaches her . She kept avoiding his question about what the hell she was talking about. So when he approaches her now, he may be sulking a little. "So are we gonna do the taking thing or what?"

[rexque_futurus]

"Yeah." She bites her bottom lip. This is just Miles. She's about to have the most awkward conversation ever with him, but he's still Miles. "So you can stop making that face."

[emrysambrosius]

He rubbed his face and tried to take several deep breaths about it. "Okay." He took more deep breaths and sat back. "All right. Okay, so. Start from the beginning."

[rexque_futurus]

Okay. Okay.

"Last week, when I was studying, I drifted off or something. And then you were there. Merlin-you. He was... mid-twenties, I guess? And he asked why I summoned him. Apparently it's a thing past-me could do. And now-me, I guess."

[emrysambrosius]

"Why do you think I text you back so fast?" he asked, a little wry. Miles couldn't remember that time. Not clearly, at least. So asking him to remember that far back to if he saw Allie before, that was really stretching it. "Kay, go on."

[rexque_futurus]

"Um, so we talked for a while. I told him some of what's going on, and he suggested that maybe I was too stressed out, pretty much. Oh, and apparently I used to go to him for advice on how to, um, 'woo' Guinevere."

Which is still kind of hilarious, okay.

[emrysambrosius]

That part, he sort of remembers. "Great, so I gave you the birds and bees talk, medieval style. Just great. Great." Miles rubbed his temples a little. "So, what. You two had girl chat or something? That's cool. Not like I'm around or anything."

...is Miles getting jealous of Merlin now?

[rexque_futurus]

"It's not like I did it on purpose," she says, with a touch of annoyance. "And you hate 'girl chats'."

Weird to be a little jealous of yourself

[emrysambrosius]

"Trying to figure out how you got to the kissing the other me. Not following so far. As far as I know, you ugys braided each other's hair or something," Miles replied easily.

reincarnation is so weird. - Allie

[rexque_futurus]

"I just... did? It seemed like a good idea at the time."

And she's blushing again. Great.

It is

[emrysambrosius]

"And nothing else happened?" He asked, a little dubious about all of this.

[rexque_futurus]

She's doing that thing again. The one where she looks like she's trying to hide under the covers or melt into the bed or something. "Not exactly."

[emrysambrosius]

He sighed. "Allie. I don't need to know the dirty details just...cliff notes would be good."

[rexque_futurus]

She clears her throat.

"Ikindofsleptwithhim."

[emrysambrosius]

He sat in shock.

"You. What?"

[rexque_futurus]

"Yeah."

Never before had she wanted to just fall off the face of the earth as much as now. It's not like she was never going to tell him, because that would be a serious omission. But.

(A part of her is terrified this is going to screw up the relationship they have in the here-and-now, but part of her also isn't sorry.)

[emrysambrosius]

What kind of clutter were they stuck in now? How was this going to effect things?

"Okay...so you guys--and you're sure it's Merlin not me, right? Does this mean you want to...?"

[rexque_futurus]

Okay. She is so not prepared to answer that question. Mostly because she still feels confused and tangled about it, and partly because she's pretty sure the answer is yes.

She hugs her knees closer.

Kings don't always get what they want, Allie

[emrysambrosius]

He sighed before sitting on the bed with her and hugging her. At the very least, he could be her friend.

"We'll figure it out. We always do, right?"

._.

[rexque_futurus]

She rests her head on his shoulder. "Yeah."

I actually have a modern Merlin based on my Merlin

[emrysambrosius]

"Are you sure it was me? Because I remember an old dude when we were doing the kingdom thing," he quipped.

yo dawg, i heard u like merlins.

[rexque_futurus]

"Who else would it have been?"

Not as much as I like mudkips

[emrysambrosius]

He gave a shrug of his shoulders.

"Maybe it's like Star Trek. Different universes. Are you sure this guy is nice?"

why are you trying to rain on her awesome sex parade, Miles.

[rexque_futurus]

"Yes!"

And she is somewhat offended past!Merlin's behalf. Harsh, Miles. Harsh.

Because of REASONS

[emrysambrosius]

"Hey you never know if he's a serial killer or demon or something!"
