Melou pushes the door open to his room, only to find himself in the bar. He figures he has three options. He can close the door and try to get into his room again, he can get Melehan and go into the bar, or he can go in by himself.

He hesitates for a moment before entering the bar and closing the door behind him. Thankfully, it remains visible.

Well, since Melehan went in first without him, it was only fair.

He might find himself being considered by the... girl? on a couch by the fireplace.
but I'm sure I've seen you somewhere else
At the risk of sounding like Roger, this kid looks familiar. But Angel can't quite place it.

[dragon_twin]

Melou's staring. Possibly. Or maybe it's just eyeing. Either way, Angel has his attention.

[the_antiangst]

"...This might sound like a weird question, but have you been in here before? I can't remember whether we've met or not."

[dragon_twin]

"I've been here, but I'm pretty sure we never met." He manages to sound as polite as possible. "I think I'd remember that."

[the_antiangst]

Well, to be fair, Melou was two at the time. He does make a good point, though, as Angel's... hard to forget.
"How long ago?"
Angel, however, is not giving up just yet.

[dragon_twin]

"A few days ago." He wrinkles his nose and thinks for a minute.

"'Supposed to be I was here when I was little, too. I remember bits of... Oh."

[the_antiangst]

That would be comprehension on all sides, then.
"...Oh, are you one of Cywyllog's kids? That would be why I couldn't place it, you were at least ten years younger last time I saw you. I'm Angel."
The renewed introduction might help jog Melou's memory, a bit.

[dragon_twin]

"That's Mama, yes." He nods.

"I think I remember, but it's a bit fuzzy. I'm Melou." That and he likely thought Angel was a woman, at the time.

[the_antiangst]

"Well, nice to meet you again, then." Angel grins.

[dragon_twin]

"You too." There should be a 'sir' tacked on at the end there, but he really can't tell if that would be appropriate.

"You know Mama?"

[the_antiangst]

Angel nods. "Haven't seen her around in a while. She must've taken you two home - I don't know if you could come in here if you were still running around as a toddler."

[dragon_twin]

Melou pales at the thought.

"I hope not." He answers, quietly.

[the_antiangst]

"This place may llike messing with people's minds sometimes, but I don't think it ever goes to quite that extent. You shouldn't have anything to worry about."

[creator_raven]

To his left there is a tall skinny man.

He blinks.

"It is a question of time, perhaps. Also I forget things."

[dragon_twin]

Melou blinks at him, much in the same way his mother does when presented with something confusing, yet politeness is required.

"You're not Merlin, are you?" He's heard Stories about Merlin.

[creator_raven]

Raven laughs, shaking his head.

"I do not think I would like that. They call me Raven."

[dragon_twin]

"Melou of Camelot." He gives Raven a small bow. "Nice to meet you."

[creator_raven]

"You were smaller once, I think. Also there were fish."

He grins.

"You are well, then?"

[dragon_twin]

"Oh, yes, I've heard I was. Here when I was smaller, I mean." He lets the fish comment slide. This man, while nice enough, seems a little off.

"I'm doing all right."

[creator_raven]

"Small is a relative thing, perhaps."

Raven grins.

"I would not have expected less, I do not think."

Maybe.

[dragon_twin]

"Would you have expected more?" He asks, genuinely curious.

[creator_raven]

Raven considers this, head tilted.

"I think, perhaps, that is your question to answer."

[dragon_twin]

Melou squints slightly and tilts his head.

"I don't know you, sir. How do I know what you expect?"

[creator_raven]

"Sometimes it is entertaining to guess, yes?"

He looks slightly expectant, if you squint.

[dragon_twin]

Which Melou is.

"Then I think I'm exactly what you expected." He shrugs.
