Merlin froze, his eyes widening comically. Outside Lady Evelyn’s chamber, Gwaine and Elyan struggled to laugh silently.
“Um - actually - I’m… ill -” Merlin stuttered, feeling his ears go pink as Lady Evelyn smiled at him invitingly. “Well - I’ll just be… going -”
He fled the room, clutching the laundry he’d been sent to fetch. Gwaine and Elyan ran after him, still laughing.

Gwaine and Elyan’s laughter echoed down the corridor.
Reviews make me happy. :)
