[03:55] AA: Merrow has left his room, and is on his way to the messhall.

[03:56] GA: | Tethys is looking behind her, not paying attention to what's in front. |

[03:58] GA: | She smashes into him. |

[03:58] AA: Merrow shrieks like a little girl. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

[03:59] GA: | "(shit! shit, thats the prince! fuck!)" she whispers to herself as she bounces back. |
