Four days. What facts have you gathered, Arthur? One: in all likelihood, Dinah couldn't permanently maim a fly. Two: her powers are dangerous. Three: Your father doesn't believe in negotiating with sorcerers, let alone being friendly with them, and you are bound to the laws of Camelot. Four: You have a longstanding relationship with the idea that ( Read more... )

Coming in with clean clothing in hand, Merlin didn't give him a funny look for reading. Really. It was for the calm.

"Did you visit the library then?"

"It would appear that I did," Arthur said, dryly. He looked up over his book. "Do I even need to mention knocking?"

Still in that mood then. Merlin just went to work, putting the clothes away. "I'll keep it in mind next time, sire."

"I'm sure you will."

No, he wouldn't.

He put down the book.

"Merlin."

"Yes, Arthur?" He asked, not turning from his work.

"You also realise it's a very small castle," he started.

His conscience was hurting in bad places, and Arthur wasn't wanting to aggravate that any worse if he could help it. Small favours.

It may have been a small favour if Merlin had any idea just what he meant by that comment.

"...I noticed as such," Merlin replied slowly.

"So I can hardly blame you," he continued, idly picking through pages of his book, "if you happen to run into people from time to time."

Well, here was to hoping Merlin wasn't too slow-witted to get that.

What-- Oh!

Merlin gave him a concerned look for a moment. "Are you certain?"

"No, Merlin," he said, shooting him an annoyed look, "I'm just talking into thin air for no reason."

Pardon him for trying to remain loyal to his prince.

Merlin rolled his eyes and turned away to hang up a jacket so it wouldn't wrinkle. "Of course, my lord."

Dealing with Arthur was like dealing with a five year old sometimes.

"Unless you want me to simply throw your clothing into the cupboard and hope for the best..."

Arthur sighed. "Merlin," he said, "It's Albion." He tossed the book onto the sheets.

That got Merlin to glance over at him and the book. "Are you sure?"

"Unless you know anywhere else with hills like that," he said, poking one of the pages.
