[ Yeah, that definitely doesn't make it any better. He cringes a little at that before shaking his head. ]

That's pretty sadistic. What's the point of just letting people suffer?

[sortileges]

Well, you might find that's just a CERES thing.

[ He gives a little shrug. ] Before more sand starts trying to drown us though, we should try and see if we can find the way out of here.

[youraffection]

...Yeah, right.

[ Wherever "out" actually ends up being. One from sand pile to the other. ]

I'm Yosuke, by the way. Yosuke Hanamura.

[ He holds is hand out. ]

[sortileges]

[ Still could be worse! Though he'll at least shake his hand. ]

Merlin. [ He lets that hang in the air for a beat, before adding: ]

Soooo let's go left. [ and he'll just... start walking. Yup. ]

[youraffection]

Nice t--

[ Wait, what? Yosuke pauses, hand held out halfway in his offer to shake. ]

...Wait, seriously?

[ He'll fall into place next to Merlin, though. ]

[sortileges]

[ ...Okay, fine, he'll just give his hand a tap then start walking. ]

Seriously.

[youraffection]

...Isn't that the name of a bearded wizard from, like, European mythology?

[ He's read some things! Like...like The Three Musketeers! Close enough, right? ]

[sortileges]

Do I look like I've got a beard?

[ Yosuke please... THE THREE MUSKETEERS ARE FRENCH...... ]

[youraffection]

I didn't say you were him. That's just kind of an iconic name, you know?

[ THAT'S ALL THE SAME THING OKAY. It's all Europey and stuff. ]

[sortileges]

[ JESUS. ]

Well... um. I kind of am? Just before everyone's heard of me, I guess.

[youraffection]

[ Not making the connection here. ]

Because you're named after the old guy?

[sortileges]

[ Yosuke........... ]

Because I am the old guy before he's old. [ a beat ] I'm Prince Arthur's servant.

[youraffection]

...

[ Yosuke squints. DiCaprio style. ]

...Yeah, right.

[sortileges]

[ And he squints right back at him. ]

You could be at least a little less suspicious after I just saved your life.

[youraffection]

But that stuff isn't even real. It's a fairy tale or something.

[sortileges]

[ Merlin just shrugs at that. ]

To you, maybe.

[youraffection]

To everyone!

[ Except this guy, apparently? ]

[sortileges]

Clearly not.

[ YEAH NOT TO THIS GUY. ]

[youraffection]

...You're being serious.

[ He's saying he's the old guy? ]

[sortileges]

I didn't suffer working as Prince Arthur's manservant for nothing.

[ "suffer" ... well. ]

[youraffection]

...Sword in the stone guy?

[ He knows his Western fairy tales! ...Vaguely! ]

[sortileges]

The what in the what?

[ HE ISN'T AT THE CANON POINT YOSUKE... THAT'S SERIES 4 ]

[youraffection]

[ SPOILERS SHARING SPOILERS ]

Er...nevermind. Maybe I'm getting it mixed up...

[sortileges]

[ LMFAO... look... Rei told him to not look up his future as it'd probably be a bad idea so he... hasn't...... ]

Well, like I said I'm only 19. I don't really know much about what's going to happen...?

[ WHY WOULD THERE BE A SWORD IN A STONE... because he put it there. Yeah. ]

[youraffection]

[ Rei's a smart girl, he should listen to her. And not Yosuke spoiling season 4 for him. ]

It's just kinda hard to believe. You're not supposed to exist.

[ SAYS THE VIDEO GAME CHARACTER. ]
