Ajax didn't want to succumb to the prodding feeling he should get up, but when he felt Mercy move he knew it was time. Ajax yawned before he even opened his eyes before cracking his eyelids, light streaming in. He winced a little and shifted to get out of the bright glare of the sun, moving to the side of the couch the was wreathed in shadows. "Mornin." Ajax mumbled sleepily, his wrists cracking as he rolled them. A song popped into his head as he said that. -Good Morning Mercy... great song that is- Ajax thought with a small smile, blinkin a couple times before slowly pushing himself to his feet.

Mercy glanced over at him as he spoke, offering a sweet smile. "Hey. I didn't mean to wake you up." She chimed softly, grabbed some eggs and bacons out of the refrigerator and going about putting something together. "How do you like your eggs?" She asked curiously, walking over to him as he stood. She pressed a light kiss to his lips once he stood, giving a slight sigh afterwards.

Ajax yawned again, feeling like a snake that unhinged his jaw. If he yawned any wider, that probably would happen. "Eh don't worry 'bout it, I awaken easily." He answered and ran a hand through his hair, not daring take a step lest he topple over since his body had not yet completely woken up. "Cooked? I dunno" He replied with a small snort, gently kissing her back but then furrowing his eyebrows as she sighed. "Anythin' the matter?" Ajax asked, then tried not to roll his eyes at himself. -Stop it with the drawl, no one can understand you. Wake up- He rebuked himself mentally

"Alright. Sorry, anyway. I wanted to surprise you with breakfast." Mercy shrugged, offering him a smile. She rolled her eyes half heartedly at his comment, scoffing. "Really? I was just gonna give you one raw, whole egg and call that breakfast." She teased, leaning against him slightly. She took her usual opportunity to turn anything into a joke, as per usual, instead of mentioning what was bothering her. "Yeah, your kisses are just that bad." She said sarcastically, fully teasing.

"Well I am fully surprised, just give it a moment to reach my still-asleep brain." Ajax made a face, then looked thoroughly surprised. "Oh! Breakfast! Yeah, thanks Mercy!" He said in a shocked tone, his eyes twinkling. "See? That's why I specified." He pointed out with a serious tone, chuckling a little. "Eh, huh? I think my brain fell asleep again... yeh I definitely did not hear your last comment. Now what were you going to tell me again? Oh yeah... if you were alright." Ajax rolled his head slightly and shifted to face her. "Stop deflecting with jokes, that's my area. You can't fool a trickster with his own tricks." Ajax pointed out with a small smile, but he looked concerned.

Mercy couldn't help but chuckle at his antics, leaning her head against his shoulder. "No problem, anything for my love." She teased back, giggling slightly. She shook her head and looked up at him when he spoke, her tone turning serious. "I'm not deflecting, I'm being serious. I think you need to practice on a pillow or something. Now, how do you like your eggs?" She asked lightly, walking back into the kitchen and grabbing a frying pan.

"Ohhh, anything. Ok then I want a medium rare cooked sirloin." Ajax snorted jokingly, raising his eyebrows as she spoke again. "Fine then." He sighed, taking a step towards the kitchen and trying not to sway like a skyscraper in a hurricane. -Still haven't fully woken up- He thought, walking to the wall near the kitchen so he could lean against something without getting in the way. "You don't have to make breakfast, you know." Ajax pointed out. "And I really do not care. Scrambled? I never think about HOW I like the eggs, just that they give me enough protein to move." He snorted with a grin, refusing another yawn and wishing he could, like, fully function a little earlier.

"Ha-ha. Hilarious. Top tier comedy. Might've been your best yet." Mercy said sarcastically, turning on the stove and grabbing another frying pan, setting them both on burners and waiting for them to warm up. "I know. But I want to." She said simply, walking back to him and wrapping her arms around him in a tight hug.

"Well in that case I deserve a medal, yay me! Best comedy ever! Woop woop!" Ajax answered just as sarcastically, rolling his eyes a little at her joke. "Aw, you do? How sweet. Still, what happens when I say I *just want* to cut down more than one tree today!" Ajax smiled sweetly, his eyebrows raised expectantly. "Now does this mean I get to cut down more trees?" He hinted hopefully

Mercy let out the slightest of scoffs at him, reaching up to toy with his hair, braiding the longest piece she could find. "Oh, that's cute. I'm making you food and you still find a way to turn it against me." She huffed playfully. She took a breath at his question, tilting her head in thought and staying quiet for a long while. "...no." she huffed.
