[there is a pause that has been recorded, unintentionally, followed by the sound of someone clearing his throat]

Uh. Hullo. This is Arthur Kirkland. Please leave a message. Or text. Or whatever...

[he nods, even though Merlin can't see it]

I think... That's all I can suggest, really. Sometimes, in situations like these, less is more. It sounds like you've already taken the appropriate steps in managing your relationship. If she is still going on dates with you, I think she must have forgiven you.

[sortileges]

[ He frowns a little then, because this isn't about getting her to forgive him. In fact, he'll even say as such. ]

I'm not trying to get her to forgive me now, I know she's done that. I just want to spoil her.

[ ...Yeah. ]

[unionjackoff]

[ah...]

Ah. Then probably gifts would be the way to go. Chocolates, flowers, small toys or jewelry, depending on what she likes. Or even gifts that you can make yourself, like a card where you cut out construction paper to make a picture.

[sortileges]

Oh! That's a good idea. I can do that. [ Well, he definitely seems a lot more upbeat now. Woah. ] ...Thanks.

[unionjackoff]

[oh haha! he did it! he said something useful]

Of course. I'm happy to help.

[sortileges]

[ He did it!!!!!

Merlin gives another little laugh that sounds almost like relief. ]

That's perfect. I'll ...let you know how it goes? [ He isn't sure if he wants to know tbh but the offer is there. ]

[unionjackoff]

[yeeeeesss]

Yes, I'd quite like that. Good luck, Merlin.

[sortileges]

[ !! ]

Alright. [ Though it's a bit embarrassing now they're... here. ] I'll talk to you later.

[unionjackoff]

Right, talk to you later. Goodbye.

[well. now he's feeling over the moon. not only did Merlin share with him, but England even got to help him in some way. today is a good day!]
