do you ever think for a while and then realize how much better life would be if you were born in the body of a dog?

[It's one of those rare afternoons where both Magnus and Taako are out, leaving apartment 201 free of vicious cave monsters and bitchy elves.

Lup takes the opportunity to invite Lucretia over so they can corner Merle together and dig out more information about the future from him. It's not that Lup doesn't trust her brother, she does completely, it's just that she also knows there are pieces of the puzzle he can't be bothered to fill in. Details that may seem minor to him, but really aren't. Besides, even if Lup is willing to take Taako's word as truth, that doesn't mean Lucretia is nearly as satisfied with the secondhand account she'd been given.

Either way, talking to the only other person who knows what's in store for them seems like the most logical next step in fixing things.

Lucretia gets a very brief house tour when she arrives--'there's the fist-sized hole in the wall from when Magnus was having a strong man moment and there's the shredded couch that we can't get our dog to stop eating'--before Lup stands directly in front of Merle's door, cupping a hand around her mouth as she screams for their friend.]

YO, MERLE! [Knocking is overrated between family, ok.]

hey so
not that i think you could answer this unless she was standing directly in the line of sight of your last working eye but
you seen lup today

I need your opinion on something your associate Lup has shown me. You seem like somebody who would understand culture and... "Cool" things. Not cold but- it's- yes-...

Also I'd just meant to extend another hello as it has been a short while.

[ Lup told him that Merle had some sort of plant fetish and he would be lying if that wasn't on the forefront of his mind right now. That won't stop the man from getting up and backing into full view if he gets a response ]

[lup is laying in bed with her phone held over her head, pointing down at her. and she's looking a lot less bony these days.

don't ask why she's calling when she could just step outside and walk down the stairs to see merle face-to-face. shit's hard.]

It's been like three days so I figured I'd check in to see if you've noticed my sweet new skin or not. No judgement, my dude, just keepin' you in Lup's loop.

merle merle merle
hey dude
hey
check out this fucking sweet jacket i got

[incl: one photo of WOW shockingly the exact same jacket merle received?? ellie isn't sure why she wants to show this off to merle in particular, but here we are.]

[ It takes her a good day and a half to scrape herself back together and build up the courage to reach out to anyone. When she finally does, though, there's not much question as to who it will be. Barry is gone. Angus is a child. And Taako is...Taako.

Thank Pan Merle is here. ]

Merle,

I hope you're not busy. I was wondering if you'd like to come over for a glass of wine.

[ Too polite. Too non-urgent. Even after all these years, it's still so hard for her to ask for help. ]

I'd really appreciate it if you could.

I think

I think I screwed things up with Lup.
