The more riled this fellow gets, the greater the temptation is to stay and continue needling him. Just so see how far he can press. However, despite certain occasional indiscretions, Merlin isn't stupid, not really, and some of the things mentioned or shown have piqued at least a little bit of his interest for various reasons.
Not that he intends to let that show, oh no, it's much easier to get information out of someone who doesn't realize it's desired, after all. Not to mention, it's far easier when being underestimated by that person, as well.
"Hmm, and aren't you an ungrateful spoilsport," Merlin says with a huff of feigned exasperation, even as he shifts the dream again to bring them both standing on the beach once more. "Though, you really don't know what you're missing, o stranger from the land of sky."
With that, he withdraws from the dream, but not before giving it one last twist before he goes. Rather than the grassy dunes of a temperate seaside in summer, it becomes rich with more lush vegetation. The waves become a calm and vividly-colored lagoon, with reefs glittering like jewels where they act as a breakwater further out. But that isn't all, as the sky itself is changed, the one Merlin knows replaced with something out of the visions the stranger shared, deep blue and home to vast floating islands. A dream of a sheer impossible scenario... Or perhaps simply an unrealized one?
Though, while he's vanished from within the dream himself, he still keeps hold over the stranger's unconsciousness for a few moments longer. Should he decide he has more to say to the half-incubus, well, now's his chance!
