AN: Set after Camlann, Arthur is alive, so is Gwaine but Morgana is dead.
This came to me today as it is snowing so that's where I got the inspiration from but I've had this idea for ages. I chose this quote because i thought that is so Merlin and because that it's funny. So, on with the story and as always R&R please!
Disclaimer: I still don't own Merlin
"It's too bad that stupidity isn't painfull"
-Anton Lavey quotes
It had been six months since it had all kicked off at Camlann, this is where Morgana had met her maker and Merlin's true identity and worth was revealed. It was and still is the main topic of any social gathering for many of Camelot's inhabitants, seen as they don't have Morgana's latest plan to overthrow the king to talk about.
Since then Camelot had prospered with a new golden age upon them. Albion had still not come about, but they were working on it. The people had been sceptical about magic returning to the land; after all Uther had drummed it into their heads that magic was evil. Arthur had explained that the rule would be the same for everyone; if you did unthinkable, horrendous things then you would be executed.
So now winter was approaching with a vengeance, it was bitterly cold and weird bits of white was falling through the sky, Arthur wondered if the sky was slowly collapsing or if someone was launching an ice attack at them. Merlin had had to stifle a laugh at this comment before replying "it's snow," Arthur wore a dumbstruck look so he continued to explain ", when it is winter, our magic is at its strongest , it mingles in the skies for miles round and then it erupts into this white stuff. Snow." Arthur was perplexed but decided to try. It was cold and frankly he couldn't be bothered to argue with Merlin. "So what is it for?" he asked, he knew he sounded dumb right now. "Its not what is does for us, but it's what we do with it!" Merlin exclaimed. Arthur still looked dumbstruck. Merlin ran his hand across a wall which held some of this white stuff up, he scrunched it together in his hand and turned back to Arthur, smiling. "This is just for educational purposes; remember that Arthur, you asked for it." Merlin reasoned as he lobbed this round white thing at Arthur. It hit him bang in the face. Arthur spluttered as this stuff got into his mouth before starting to lick his lips. "Actually it's a good source of food isn't it?" Merlin whacked himself upside the face; there really were no limits to his stupidity.
And the fact that Gwaine had just slapped him in the face with another white ball, and with his standing and licking his lips again only further fuelled that fact.
