[He did just call her Rox, and he didn't realize he'd done it until it was too late and he couldn't take it back.
So he just lifts a hand to swipe it over his face, the tattoo on his shoulder shifting smoothly, and takes a step back to let her in, edging the dog out of the way with the side of his foot.]
He's upstairs, first door on the left.
[Tiberius has abandoned lying obediently on the floor and is trying to get closer to Roxy to smell how interesting she smells, so Merlin winds up bending over to hook his fingers in the back of his dog's collar, keeping him still as he kicks the door shut behind her when Roxy comes in.]
You would not believe how much that kid snores. [As if Roxy and Eggsy aren't the same age and didn't share a dormitory together during training.] I've just put the coffee on, if you need incentive to get him out of bed. Or if you'd like any yourself.
