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."

Comments

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!"

GRUMP GRUMP GRUMP what reasons

[rexque_futurus]

"Seriously? That's how much you trust my judgement?"

Come on.

[emrysambrosius]

He gave her an extra squeeze. "Could've been an incubus or something."

[rexque_futurus]

"You really think I can't tell the difference between you and an incubus? I mean, I don't have experience with them, but hello? Destiny thing?"

Okay, now she's kind of offended on her own behalf.

[emrysambrosius]

"You said it wasn't me like me now."

And he heard that incubi could trick even the most normal people. What she said kind of got him thinking though: was it his destiny to be with Allie like that?

[rexque_futurus]

"Well, yeah. He was you, but you from past incarnation."

She totally understands this, okay. And she did not fall for an incubus.

[emrysambrosius]

"But that's what I'm saying, are you sure it's me, though?"

That was...kind of a hard pill to swallow. Maybe this wasn't the right time to talk about it after all. Miles just held his friend, trying ot think of the best way to go about all of it.
