"I had noted the shrine." For all his flippant attitude, Merlin's pretty observant. Parsee is most definitely the sort of being Melinoë had been asking about... But Merlin's also not particularly surprised she got more than she bargained for.

Goddesses do have a tendency to be overconfident at times, after all. It can be rather amusing.

"More or less. Or at least, what they think they want." Even with as benign an incubus as Merlin, there's a good chance of people misjudging what they're getting into. And as for an ordinary incubus? Well, let's just say that there's a reason they're associated with nightmares and leave it at that. "And if you mean outside of this present space, no. Nor am I able to."

It's actually pretty darn unnerving.
