Chapter One
"Arthur,"
"Yes Merlin?"
"It's dark."
"Idiot."
"Ouch! What did you do that for?"
"For stating the obvious."
"You didn't have to hit me round the head though."
"I really- really- did."
"You're such a... a..."
"A what, Merlin? Spit it out."
"Clotpole!"
"You're just asking for trouble now. The only reason I'm not hitting you around the head again is that it's too much like hard work to raise my arm again."
"..."
"Merlin?"
"I'm here."
"Are you alright?"
"I was going to ask you the same question."
"Well, we're still stuck in a pitch black cell chained to the wall, and I still have to listen to you."
"..."
"..."
"Does your leg still hurt?"
"No Merlin, a sword wound to the leg is like a picnic on a summer's day."
"Seriously Arthur."
"Merlin, I-"
"Arthur!"
"... yes. And it's started itching and it feels hot."
"I'll get us out of here."
"Merlin, you couldn't find your way out of a stable if the horse showed you."
"Idiot. I'll think of something."
"As much as I hate to admit it, I think you're going to have to. I'm feeling... almost drunk. It's hard to think like this."
"That'll be when you hit your head on that rock. Gauis will fix that for you."
"..."
"Arthur?"
"..."
"Arthur?"
"...I'm still here..."
"I'd prefer it if you kept talking so that I knew you were alright."
"I am the Crown Prince of Camelot and I'll have you know tha' I can sleep whenever I damn well please."
"No Arthur, you have to stay awake."
"G'nigh' Merlin..."
"Arthur! Arthur stay awake!"
