Uhhhh. Kinda? [ Likewise Kyosuke’s head is also filled with soccer, but he’s also a nerd. ] I mean I kinda heard the names used on two separate occasions on the train when we had different shoots!! So I looked them up and they’re like… pretty well known! Like— Wikipedia well known! Merlin’s a wizard from folklore from the United Kingdom!! Medusa’s from…. [ He needs to say this… carefully because she instinctively glanced over.] Greek Mythology! She could turn you to stone!!!

[ Nailed it? Kyosuke now frowns.]

B-but anyway! Have you seen our friends?

[Merlin hums in contemplation as he considers their question. But for now, he looks to Medusa with his usual laidback smile. ]

Well luckily for us, I’ve been conserving energy! Have you? [ To that, Medusa nods. Even with her mask on, Merlin can sense her looking exasperated — he’s gotten used to it when he hung around Ana. Now glancing to the boys, he taps his chin.] Hmmm… they might be somewhere. I’m pretty sure I sensed some other humans out and about. Once we deal with these ghosts we can go looking for them! How’s that boys? […] What about you, Medusa, did you see any other kids running around?

[ Medusa shakes her head, now moving to remove her mask. With that, Merlin accepts her answer and taps his staff against the forest floor to ready his Noble Phantasm.]
