Captain Obvious and Captain Oblivious
Or a very unintelligent conversation between two characters of legend.
The Great king Arthur was doing kingly stuff in his chamber. Suddenly he shouted:
'Stop! Merlin. Can't you see that? '
'See what? The servant paled, looking very much like a culprit caught in the act.
'The silvery- glowy- circle-ly thing above my bed!' Unfortunately, the king's vocabulary suffered in his panic.
'Argh…'
The king and his servant met each other's eyes in awkward silence. And if Merlin was shaking more violently than a Gwaine in alcohol withdrawal, Arthur didn't notice.
'It wasn't there in the morning.' Arthur observed.
'No, it wasn't.' Merlin agreed.
'Looks like magic to me.' Arthur deduced.
'Which comes from a sorcerer, I suppose.' Merlin supplemented with wisdom.
'Ohh why, thank you Captain Obvious.'
…
But, the prince thought diligently, there were just two people in the chamber! – himself and his manservant. And it couldn't have been himself…right?
Several minutes later, a very baffled king returned to …whatever he had been doing before.
And Merlin muttered a prayer of thanks to Captain Oblivious.
