she takes a deep breath and looks merlin in the eye. she could say a lot of things and try to convince him otherwise, but she knows that would just get into an argument, and the objective in this carnival is to have fun! she can't not let him have fun. she has to show him a good time, not because there's something she wants out of it, dear god, no. but it's simply because they're friends. he's new, and doesn't have a lot going for him yet in this place, after all. ]
