Tell me Merlin, what is it you do all day? Sometimes I fool myself into believing you might have half a brain, so I can't imagine why it takes you this long to do one simple task.
I'm so sorry Merlin, you're absolutely right. Why don't you take a seat and relax. Here, have some of my breakfast even. I'm sure you've had a very exhausting morning. I don't know what I was thinking, demanding so much of you.
[Merlin scrambles as he goes to the table and looks over the armour.] Well, it's not...bad. I mean, look. It's very...armoury. Very strong and good for defending.
No, no, of course. You're only too right. I don't know what I was thinking. It's not as if there is some ideal or example knights are meant to set. Forget a knight in shining armour, they get a knight in armoury armour.
[and he gives Merlin a look. He picks up the armour, pushing it into Merlin's arms]
Pretend you're not completely useless and shine my armour. Have it done by the time I'm done eating.
[and Arthur sits down to nom nom nom on delicious breakfast]
[Softly to himself.] I think the dinted look would be tougher like anyway.
[But he obeys and sighs as he sits at the polishing table to scrub down the armour. He can't help but glance up with some longing at the food. Someone was too busy cleaning to eat breakfast.
Yes, sire?

Bravo, Merlin. I'll have to speak to my father immediately about giving you a commendation of some sort.

Did you at least shine my armour, I hope.

That someone's stomach possibly just growled.]

Did I just hear you growl?

[and he throws a piece of bread at Merlin's head. While that is an invitation to eat, it's not permission to stop polishing that armour, Merlin]
I'm afraid to ask if you're capable of doing two things at once.
