Yuletide visits! [will handwave it to the right time after the finale >>]
Merlin hummed as he cleaned up Gaius' chambers and his own room to the best of his abilities. He had let the older man know that he had a special guest coming. He even made sure he put on his best tunic, best jacket, made sure his fingernails were clean and everything.
He also made sure that the gift he had forged for Ariadne was hidden away out of sight. It was the smaller bundle that he was going to give her at her birthday but seeing her reaction to the book, he had decided to save it for Yule. Perhaps she would like it. Maybe. He wasn't sure. He had asked Leon about it, if women liked that sort of thing. Asked Gwen. They said that it would be lovely.
