Merlin knocked on Arthur’s office door. “Come in!” he heard from inside. Merlin entered and closed the door behind him.

“So what can I do for you, Merlin?”

Merlin took a seat across the desk from Arthur. “Well, Arthur, I might be able to do something for you.”

“What’s that?”

“I’m here to ask you what’s on your Christmas wishlist.”

“You know I don’t keep a list of Christmas wishes.”

Merlin just stared him down. “You’re a terrible liar.”

“Oh fine. I suppose continued health for my father and your unborn little one top the list.”

“I appreciate that. I’m sure your father does too.”

“That man will life forever, I’m sure.”

“Yeah, probably,” Merlin agreed. “What else?”

“A girlfriend who isn’t an empty-headed bimbo.”

“Ooh, does that mean you’re ready to settle down?”

“I think so. The single life is getting old.” Arthur sighed. “Really old.”

“Wow, I can’t believe you just said that.”

“Me, either.”

“Is there anything more materialistic you’d like?”

Arthur tamped his fingers on his desk. “No, I don’t think so. I have everything I need.”

“Okay.” Merlin stood. “I’m not sure about the girlfriend, but I’ll see what I can do.”

“Merlin! Do not set me-” But it was too late. Merlin had already left the room.

“Great, just great,” Arthur mused. He thought about his ill fortune for a minute before sighing and getting back to work. If Merlin did find him a solid girlfriend, well, that was more than he’d done for himself. He’d just see what the imp could do.
