“   you  deserve  every  good  thing  in  the  world .   ” / lucretia from venturezone !!

he actually has to take a moment to process what the director has just said to him, sitting back in his chair and peering down at his hands. he initially came to bug her about something - a topic apparently so inconsequential that merle has forgotten it all together. he did not expect the conversation to take this kind of turn, but one thing lead to another, and he began to vent to the woman about some things he’d been harboring within him for what felt like months. 

“lucretia, i...” merle’s voice drifts off as he raises his gaze to look up towards the other once more. his hazel eyes are glossy, a sight that is surprisingly rare. the cleric has always been good about keeping these kinds of emotions to himself, but perhaps that’s the exact reason he’s let himself respond in such a way. sure, he could probably vent his little heart out to the guys and get a helpful response back, but something about hearing that come from lucretia was drastically different.

“thank you.” he’s smiling now, bringing his organic hand up to wipe his tears away with the pad of his thumb. he doesn’t really know what else to say other than that, for he’s just so floored that those few words from the director were enough to catch him so off guard.

"why don’t you stay here?"

“stay here?” merle’s grown visibly worried - has he done something wrong? he wracks his brain, trying to recall any moment he might’ve wronged the boy. he can’t think of any, but the dwarf had a habit of blocking out bad memories in favor of positive ones. he hoped his overtly favorable outlook on life didn’t mute something he should apologize to angus for.

“w-well, ah... you could stay here, too, you know! maybe teach me how to make those macaroons of yours?” the cleric ditches the concerned look to replace it with a softer one. a little smile forms on his lips, keeping his gaze on the boy. “you don’t wanna go out with those two knuckleheads, anyways. they’re bound to get into trouble, and trust me, you don’t want to get mixed up in that!”

CARING FOR STUBBORN MUSES. for when the person you’re trying to care for insists they don’t need your help.

“at least let me clean the wound!” “you’ll be even worse off if you don’t let me bandage this.” “i really think you need to see a doctor.” “i made you some soup, and i’m going to sit here until you eat it. i can wait.” “your feelings matter too! i can’t help you if i don’t even know what’s making you upset!” “..i’m here if you need anything, okay?” “stop trying to push yourself! you can’t do this on your own!” “listen, i know you don’t want to, but.. maybe you should rest for a while. you’re not going to get anywhere like this.” “i’ll make you a deal: i’ll just get you some bandages, and nothing else, and you stop making a fuss over it.” “how long has it last been since you slept?” “have you even been taking your medicine?” “i know you think you have to get through this by yourself, but you have people here to help you.” “let me take care of you, for once.” “you’re gonna hurt yourself even more if you do stupid things like that!” “i hate to break it to you, but you’re not supposed to do any strenuous physical activity for the next couple weeks, and if i have to personally make sure you don’t every waking hour of the day then i’m fully prepared to do that.” “it’s okay to cry in front of me, you know. you don’t have to carry this alone.” “stop trying to act like you’re not bleeding out in front of me!! this is serious!” “listen, asshole. i’m gonna carry you home whether you like it or not. you’re not in any condition to get there yourself.” “oh my god, why didn’t you tell me it was this bad?!”
