"Merlin sit down!" The warlock in question looked at the empty seat at the circular table. And shook his head "no, no I think not sire these seats were meant for specific people hundreds of years ago I wouldn't want to cause offence what with me being" he was cut off with just glare Arthur was giving him. "Merlin you idiot just, sit, down." Gaius looked at Merlin subtly telling him not to make more of a scene.

Merlin sat next to Arthur and looked at the others gathered at the round table. He tried not to smile as he read the old English inscriptions in front of each of them he had to hold in the laugh as he looked across at Gwen's. 'Love' it seamed fitting seeing as she was sat next to Arthur. His thought process was interrupted as he realised Arthur had been explaining the significance of the table and had reached him.

"magic had a seat at my ancestors table, as Emrys here will at mine" all eyes were focused on Merlin as he yelped rather pathetically his eyes glowing gold lighting all the candles in the chamber "what-no-what-are-you-talking-about-you-must-have hit your head Arthur" Merlin spoke so fast it's a wonder a word was heard. Arthur wasn't fazed. "Merlin I know about your magic. Have for some time just never found an appropriate time but seeing as you are now sat in magic's seat" he shrugged and looked across at Gawain who was trying hard not to laugh.

It was Percival who broke the silence by just uttering one word "awkward" Sir Leon was the first to laugh soon all around the table were laughing. Including Merlin, who in between coughs managed to hide a spell. It was Arthur's time to yelp as he felt his ears grow into those of a donkey. Merlin smiled good naturedly at his friend as Arthur thwacked him round the back of the head. "Prat" Arthur looked from ear to ear said "idiot" then continued speaking.

He announced his intentions to knight those who weren't knights. As sir Gawain stood up he looked at Arthur's donkey ears and whispered "I think your new ears are very fetching sire". He went and stood next to Leon and was joined by the others when they were all standing there Merlin pointed at his own head and muttered another spell.

Suddenly all of them. Gaius, Gwen, Elyan, Leon, Merlin, Percival, Lancelot, and Gawain also had donkey ears. At Arthur's unasked question Merlin replied "we are all equals. Here and we are about to go up against your crazy with power half sister, and her rather powerful evil sister so, I just thought a little light relief was called for. Which I just completely undid by bringing up Morganna but seriously it was going to come up. oh I know how to defeat the army but I'll need help ok good yup." He saluted to Arthur and the knights and walked off.
