Author's Note: Just a quick drabble, inspired by a scene in the episode "The Mark of Nimue". Can be read as slash, but wasn't originally intended to be. Enjoy!
They Bear No Sign
I've seen the way the girl works. Her fingers are worn, her nails are broken.
Morgana's words echo through Arthur's mind and in the aftermath of the recent events, he realizes he has never seen the way Merlin works. When he finds his manservant, he purposefully strides towards him and takes his hands. Merlin looks at him with wary eyes and questions what this is about. Arthur can't bring himself to say anything and leaves.
Merlin's hands are soft.
He doesn't want to think about what that means.
Or what it means, that he doesn't want to think about it.
