if u were up to it!! would u mind writing a lil something abt Merrill? im weak and literally just someone sharing their thoughts abt her or being nice to her would make me cry
Iâm actually really sad Merrill & Joycie Foxglove never got to meet in canon because Iâve always imagined one of their Important Interactions would be like this maybe:
âEt voila! Take a look!â Joycie exclaimed, clapping excitedly. Merrill had been frozen like a statue this whole time, letting Joycie hem and tailor her dress. She felt if she moved a muscle that this entire day mightâve been a dream, and the illusion would break.Â
She could scarcely believe today had happened- Joycie had taken Merrill out shopping, buying up anything Merrill indicated she wanted, even at the barest of mentions. It confused her and terrified her a little. This excitable rich woman barely knew her, but was so determined to be Merrillâs friend after saving her life. Joycie never once came off as disingenuous, however. Everything was done with a warm smile and a loving heart.
âI look... I look...â Merrill couldnât search for the right word as she turned to look into the mirror. Different emotions swallowed her at the same time. Part of her didnât feel like she belonged in such a dress- vibrant golden satin, folded into rose patterns from her waist which then pooled into loose waves as it came to the floor.. Pearls outlined the dressâ bodice, forming an simple but elegant design. She liked how she looked but... this was nothing like what Mother Supreme would have ever allowed, and-
âBeautiful, sweetie. You look beautiful.â Joycie took Merrillâs hand and clasped it in between her own. Merrill took a shaky breath, nodding wordlessly. She felt tears start beading at the corners of her eyes and looked at Joycie. Immediately, the woman picked up on it and brought the gnoll into a tight hug.
(I took some liberties but I miss... my sweet sweet girl Merrill ;u; This wouldâve happened sometime during the BALLROOM QUESTÂ before the actual Ball. [also this is the dress.])
