Chapter 2

(After the party has finished Merlin is stood at the top of the Castle, watching over Camelot when Arthur comes up to stand at his side)

Arthur: How are you coping?

Merlin: A few hours ago, I was a nobody, a servant of the King, now I'm a Lord in the Camelot Council.

Arthur: I can identify.

Merlin: How can you identify with being a nobody and then a somebody, even before you were King, you were the Prince.

Arthur: I was talking about Gwen, she has made a very similar leap.

Merlin: Oh right, how is she by the way.

Arthur: Nervous about her first council meeting next week, which is also yours by the way.

Merlin: I forgot about that, I can finally contribute to those meetings and not have to just top up someone's drink.

Arthur: Speaking of which, I would like you to help me choose a new man servant.

Merlin: Really?

Arthur: Yes, believe it or not Merlin you were the best one I've had.

Merlin: Thank you.

Arthur: I still think you're an idiot though.

Merlin: That's alright I still think you're a clotpole.

(Arthur slaps him over the head)

End of Chapter
