Merlin's eyes flashed amber as he struggled to hold back the threats Arthur seemed blissfully unaware about. Carefully glancing over his shoulder the young warlock's eyes met Arthur quickly he turned away praying that Arthur didn't realise what he just saw was. Magic. He knew he must be careful but this was a careless mistake. How could he be so foolish he thought mentally kicking himself inside.
"Arthur you may want to get your sword out now" Merlin causation
"what is it ," Arthur replied sarcasm dripping from his tone , although he obediently fingered the hilt of his sword and scanned the breathing forest for the threat Merlin was referring to .It took but 1 word to alert the prince of the danger
"Nimway" he whispered.
"Merlin I know your half blind, I figured that out when I met you but really, this isn't a time for joking" Arthur said shaking his head in disbelief at the stupidity of his man servant.
"behind the tree "Merlin simply said he was used to being the but of Arthur jokes by now, he always had been and probably always will be until... it was revealed
Arthur crept froward signalling to merlin to follow him. As he perked around the large trunk of the tree in question the tension built until it was almost unbearable. As the prince's gaze was able to penetrate around the obstruction his face melted into relief before soon turning sower once more.
"Merlin , you useless lump of a idiotic uselessness what do you think you playing at" Arthur screeched his face flushing fuchsia .
"she was here" Merlin protested
"just go and do something useful and get some water" Arthur said rolling his eyes dramaticly, hoping Merlin would see. Merlin did nothing just retreated silently to the gushing lake behind him.
