Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mercy thought about it for a long moment and as she thought, her hand wandered to scratch Arthur behind the ears. "Hmmm... I mean, I suppose you could consider it an army plane, I mean... like a space one... Have you not seen Star Wars Arthur?"

Mercy had a feeling she knew what her afternoon was going to entail if so. Granted she wasn't a huge fan of them, the new ones were actually pretty cool and she had liked the most recent release quite a bit.

"But I think an Arcade will work, just have to find a good one..." She clicked her tongue for a moment, before editing her text.

Hey, if you're free sometime this week I was hoping we could hang out at an arcade! You can show me some moves maybe?

She turned the phone back to Arthur. "Better?"

Mercy nodded and with a swallow, pressed the send button on her phone to send the text off to Nick. She didn't expect a text back any time soon, but she hoped that maybe before the night was over he'd text her back.

At Arthur's question though, Mercy let out a sigh, placed her chin in her hands and turned a bit to look at him.

"Oh, I don't know? He's kinda sweet in that shy sorta way? I mean... He's cute? God, I sound so shallow saying that... Uhm... He's really knoweldgeable about things in gaming and stuff and I guess... In a way learning it from him lets me interact with my little brother more? I really don't know, I just... think he's a really cool guy."

She really hadn't thought about the why of it all, really.

Mercy puffed out her cheeks and let out a huff of frustration. "It's the principle of the thing, Arthur! I'm a lady and I shouldn't be shallow." She said before sticking her tongue out at Arthur. "But no, he's wicked cute, glasses or no..." She let out a small sigh.

"No, I've never had a boyfriend, Arthur. Or really any boy give me the time of day. Most of the boys I've dealt with were my older brother's friends and they all viewed me as the annoying little sister. Not to mention Johnathan would have probably slugged them one because he is an overly aggressive football player." He added with a dark mutter.

'Nick is... really the first boy I've ever had any real long term contact with and it's... really nice."

Mercy shook her head, but still, she had to smile at Arthur. "A lady should strive to be a lady all the time, Mr. Arthur." She said in a slightly teasing tone as she reached out and poked the tip of his nose with her finger. "Else what is the point of being a lady?"

At his comment about her brother though she just rolled her eyes. "The only person Johnathan cherishes more than himself is his fiance, and that's a by a very slim margin at best. I am sure he cares about me, but I am sure it had more to do with him not wanting his friends to rag on him because they were dating me. But I wouldn't know because, well, they never showed interest." She shrugged her shoulders.

At his last statement though she smirked. "Alright, well, you and I need to reconvene to the living room, I'll make us some nice snacks and some tea and we'll have a bit of a marathon, parents shouldn't be home for a few more hours we can get through the better part of the prequels."

The middle set was super dry to her but she supposed that they were okay... for old movies.

Mercy smiled and nodded her head. "You did at that, and I would be a poor host to not utilize your gift, thank you for reminding me, Arthur." She said as she stood herself, moving to grab the snacks herself, and waiting for Arthur to hop off the bed so she could grab the blanket on top of it.

"What do you drink, and I'll get you that instead." She said with a small nod of her head. "Can't leave a guest wanting after all..."
