Optimism
"That went well!" Merlin chirped as he bobbled behind a stomping Arthur. Trudging out of the forest in the middle of the night had never agreed with Merlin as much as it did now; he was positively glowing.
Arthur's eye twitched.
"You call that well?" he hissed, facing his manservant's barely concealed grin. "You think nearly getting our heads bitten off by a cinema-"
"Chimera!" Merlin beamed.
A vein pulsed in Arthur's temple threateningly. "By a bloody two headed, fire breathing, snake tailed, lion bodied extra goat headed chimera – you think that went well?"
"Well we're alive aren't we?"
He had a point.
