Some Fill

[anonymous]

By the time he gets word of Ealdor's fate, it's been several weeks and they're on the verge of winter. Even so, Arthur is off with a dozen men and carts of grain, linen, and preserved meats. It's not much - just what he could take safely from the palace stores without upsetting Uther - but it will get them through the cold season, and for that reason, the peasantry greets him with cheers of joy. Parents will not worry for their offspring, the elderly will not go without in favor of the young.

Merlin, however, is not there to meet him and when he asks after his lover, he is told news most distressing.

"We've tried, sire, to get him to eat, but he is insistent," the man escorting him explains. He smiles softly and adds, "Perhaps now that you're here," as he draws the hovel's door open, revealing the tiny accommodations Merlin's been given.

It's a simple one room structure with a bed, a table, and a few chairs and some half-filled shelves. Nothing extravagant; Arthur knows he should feel out of place, but he really doesn't and he's sure that has everything to do with the too-skinny man kneeling before the tiny fireplace. His kerchief is still set around his neck, as it had the day he'd dressed and left, but it's looser than it ever was and though Merlin'd never been a particularly large man, he had at least filled out his shift well enough. Now, he swam in the fabric.

Arthur sighed, shoulders slumping at the sight - damn his self-sacrificing servant, damn him.

A little something to tide you over until someone writes something a bit longer. :)

Ooh, thanks! Sorry for the late response. I didn't have internet access for a while. This is a great start and I'd love it if you continued!

Oh, that is so like Merlin.. ;___;

Awww, that makes sense.

Would like to see this continued, but it being nearly a year now I understand if it's better to leave it as is.
