The onslaught of different smells that hit Arthur’s nostrils and made him want to retch was just as horrifying as the thing he was seeing, making him want to tear out his eyes. He felt his senses overload with everything before him. Guilt. Shame. Hurt. Pain. Panic.
Merlin, small and sick-looking, in the corner of the tiny room, did not move a muscle. It filled Arthur with a sense of dread. He breathed in, seemingly to calm himself, but it made it worse. Calm, he needed to stay calm. Needed to help Merlin.
“YOU!” he yelled at the guard who seemed to be trying to slip away while Arthur wasn’t looking. “Run to the court physician and tell him to prepare for a patient. NOW.”
Arthur scooped Merlin up in his arms and almost toppled over. No, Merlin wasn’t heavy. Arthur overestimated the weight he would have to carry. Merlin looked small and underfed, but he weighed even less. It was as if Arthur wasn’t even carrying him.
He tried to walk as quickly as possible, while not shaking Merlin any further and causing more injuries. In his mind, he chanted a series of words to calm his nerves and to make it all better.
“Ar-” he heard, and stopped dead. “Arthur.”
“Merlin,” he replied, “Merlin, don’t try to talk. I know it hurts. We’ll make it all better. You will be fine. I promise. You will be just fine.”
Merlin didn’t seem to register any of Arthur’s words. Instead, he lifted his hand, slowly moving it towards Arthur’s face. It fell down limply by his side a second later.
“Are you-” Merlin’s question ended in a coughing fit.
“Don’t talk, Merlin.”
“Are you real?”
Arthur closed his eyes briefly. It was such a simple question, but Arthur was hit with the implications. Merlin had probably imagined-he’d- no, he had no time for this. “I am, Merlin. I am real.”
Merlin’s eyes fell shut again and Arthur sped up even faster. Merlin needed Gaius now.
