I'm obviously totally for another Merry interaction before the end game but I think the college/long distance relationship convo might be better suited for a quieter setting? Not that Dick's or The Bar on St. Paddy's day doesn't have it's charm but I think with this sort of discussion it might be easier to talk about in a more intimate scene? I was thinking of moving Max into his new place at the beginning of April, maybe Cherry comes over and they talk about it then? If that doesn't work for you, wherever/whenever you'd like to have it take place is cool with me :-)
