oh i KNOW proper lab supplies get so expensive! when i need money i normally just do surgery for people who don't want to go to doctors that ask questions about why they need surgery but if you want to pursue new career paths then i support you!! ^-^
[Sex work is a valid life choice and she's not here to judge.]
[Belatedly, as the thought occurs to her:]
don't worry about paying me for anything, though! i summoned you so it would be silly to ask you to pay rent
[Mercy's rent is honestly pretty minimal. Partially because she lives in an apartment building that could be kindly described as a fucking bomb site, partially because her landlord would honestly rather not talk to her whenever he can avoid it.]
you already support me a lot! like keeping me from dying in the war or teaching me about interesting things or that time i told the social worker you were a temporary legal guardian so she didn't have to come visit me anymore
[It says a lot about how badly this woman wanted to not be involved with this situation anymore that she was willing to pretend Merlin was a responsible adult.]
you can just do fun things because they're fun! ^-^
[It's more than her actual parents did. Keeping her alive on a day to day basis is an achievement that belongs entirely to Charity, with additional support from Mercy's own ability to heal herself.]
that doesn't sound right but i've only had sisters so i guess i can't dispute it??? oh! speaking of fun: where are you and why is there a drag queen??
[Only took them three completely different conversation topics to finally get around to asking.]
i'm glad you're having a nice night! i just want to know in case you need an alibi later you know i'm bad at lying :< so if i need to tell people or police officers that you were somewhere else i need time to practice it in advance pls
["Questionable" raises... well, questions. But he's a Servant, and while the legends are pretty vague on what Merlin died from- or if he died at all- she's pretty sure it wasn't poison. He'll survive the bar.]
[Whether or not the bar will survive him is another matter entirely.]
call me if anyone ends up in serious medical distress i'm going to be up late tonight studying anyway

[And really, keeping Mercy alive should be considered the bare minimum. Get better standards, please.]

Don't worry, I'm not doing anything illegal! I'm at the local club having questionable drinks, but nothing you need to deny.
