[ when merlin comes close to fix the flowers on her hair, she has to resist the urge to grab him and throw him. it's not him, really. athena just has an awful reflex that when a man gets way too close to her, her judo skills switch on.
so as not to do that, she forces her eyes shut, and kind of looks like a little kid who just closed her eyes because she doesn't want to see a ghost. it's really not merlin, she swears!
and when merlin starts talking, she opens her eyes. and she's practically beaming. it's one thing for somebody to tell her that she looks good, but perfect? that's new, and something that she'll never forget! and as excited as she is, she still manages to speak gently. ]
Thanks.
And since you told me something about yourself, I'll tell you what I can do.
[ she's never hidden her ability from anybody, but it's the least she can do for the trust he's put in her. ]
