(A/N) This was inspired by Shadowdragon1317's review... A little drabble, you could say.

The exact quote? A review from Merlin's Merlin!- "A pocket full of bird... Oh my gosh XD That just gets me laughing so hard! I just imagine Merlin pulling birds out of his pocket and just going up to Gaius saying, 'I just HAD to teach them how to fly.' Now I imagine him leading a falcon army..."

This is just a one-shot at the moment, but if you want to see more, review or give me a prompt.


"Merlin!" Gaius exclaimed, "Where on earth have you been all day?!" He looked his ward up and down.

Merlin was sporting a very rumpled hairdo, panting slightly, and had a large bulge in his front pocket. The young man looked up, "I was in the forest... helping-"

"Helping what exactly? And turn out your pockets, now!" Seeing the look on Gaius' face, Merlin complied.

Reaching up, he stuck his hands in his pocket to bring out... what?!

One, two, three...

A total of five. Five birds.

Merlin had brought a bloody platoon of birds back... Gaius's eyes were fairly popping out.

His ward grinned, "Yeah... I had to teach them how to fly..."

Behind him on the table, the hatchlings were all smoothing their rumpled feathers, almost as if nothing had happened.
