[You know who is already working hard? Yeah. Merlin straightens up and comes over, already holding Arthur's shield.]

Yes, sire?

[he takes his shield and inspects it]

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've been mucking out the stables all morning. I didn't exactly have time to finish everything else yet.

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.

I...i had to clean the leech tank!

[He says this like it's very impressive.]

[and the slow clap]

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

Leeches are vicious, sire.

Do you have any idea what else is vicious? My father's temper, if he finds out I was late for duties.

Did you at least shine my armour, I hope.

Yeah, I got... Oh, no, wait it's...

[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.

Armoury? Well, as long as it's armoury. After all, who needs shine when my armour is armoury.

behindhiswords January 16 2010, 05:45:07 UTC
Well, it's not like it needs to shine, does it? It's just going to get all banged up and dirty.

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.

That someone's stomach possibly just growled.]

[he didn't hear that comment Merlin made, but he did hear Merlin's stomach]

Did I just hear you growl?

Reply

behindhiswords January 16 2010, 06:21:53 UTC
Uh, no, sire... Just didn't get breakfast. [At least he's still polishing while he glances at that food.]

destinedking January 16 2010, 06:48:15 UTC
You're useless enough under normal circumstances, I can't even bear to imagine what new ways you'll find to embarrass me if you're underfed as well.

[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.
