[Merlin is already there, and he closes the door quietly behind Elyan so they don't disturb Gaius. He's been having doubts about this since he left the blacksmith's shop this afternoon, and he bites his lip nervously,] I was starting to think you weren't coming...

[young_merlin]

Oh. [Well that's a relief. He looks rather relieved as well.] I'm sorry that happened... I should have guessed, though. You were acting rather strangely.

[thickerthan]

[-orbs in-] Waitin' for me?

[young_merlin]

[Surprised!] OH! Well, maybe? [He still finds it strange that Bradley looks just like Arthur.]

[thickerthan]

[-grins at him and stretches out on his bed-] Still not used to Arthur's face doin' magic, yeah?

[young_merlin]

No, not at all. Or that Arthur's face knows that I have magic. [Or that he's making himself comfortable in my bed without complaining. That's the real surprise!]

[knocks on his door]

[young_merlin]

[He opens the door with a smile and ushers her in so as not to disturb Gaius.] I apologize, my lady... the heightened security made it impossible to return to your chambers this evening.

[theladyartis]

[very quietly] You need to pack your things. We'll gather horses. [she looks like she's been crying]

[young_merlin]

Artis? [He looks distressed and takes her in his arms,] What is it?
