A.N This just up and came to me. The greeting that Merlin uses in the morning represents what he thinks the day will bring.

Rise and Shine.

''Rise and Shine'' called an over cheerful voice as the curtains were pulled back.

Arthur groaned. A long day of council meetings loomed and he just couldn't face it.

''Go away Merlin'' he grumbled, pulling the sheets over his head, ''I am not getting up today.''

''Well then'' the manservant responded ''If you won't get up, I shall just have to tell all the lords that their king is too lazy to get out of bed and that the council will be tacking place in his chambers''

''Merlin''

Soon after that Arthur was down in the council chambers, horrendously board but happy that Merlin had got him up that morning. Even if he had to sit through hours upon hour of reports.

A.N i am rubbish at dialogue so if it sucks then tell me. I will probably do another couple of chapters so please review.
