"Where is he?" "My lady…" "Answer me"
Mae rushes down the corridor, no sounds are heard beside the fast clicking of her shoes. Walking up to the healers tower, swinging the door open she sees Gaius standing in front of a table with a book open his reading glasses on. Gaius raises his head and with a grim expression he began to speak, Mae cuts him off clenching her jaw she goes on to say, "Where is he? Where is Merlin?" Gaius take his glasses off and walks up to her and grabs her hand. "My lady…" Mae rips her hand from his and with a assertive tone,"Answer me!" Gaius motions to the boy laying in a cot in the corner, Maes face drains turning white as she see Merlin unconscious and unmoving besides the slight rise and fall of his chest, bruises lining his face. Sitting in a chair beside him, tears forming "Gaius what happened?" with a grim face and a exhale, "Morgana threw him against a rock and he hit his face against it. He had gone ahead of the trail to look around and when we got up to him, we saw morgana a few paces in front and Merlin on the ground near a rock" A voice heard from the door, turning around she sees Arthur in his armour and a few other knights standing behind him, Mae stands quickly a knot forming in her chest and stomach and walks up to Arthur and a loud crack is heard as she slaps him. The knights and Gaius all gasp in surprise and Arthur is silent. "He is a but a servant Arthur, he should have never done that! He can't defend himself like you all can!" Mae's snapped. The knights all flinch and hang their heads low and Arthur flicks his eyes back and forth between Merlin and his sister. With a desperate voice, "I'm sorry Mae." Mae scoffs and turns back to sit next to Merlin again and grabs a hold of his hand and presses it against her forehead. "Gaius, please let me know when he wakes" Gaius must have nodded toward the king because he did not speak. Hearing the door close Mae lifts her head and with tears in her eyes looks to Gaius. "Is there anything I can do for him?" Gaius gives her a soft smile, "Just be there for him my dear. I'm not sure magic could help much, but maybe you could say a spell since you are better at healing magic then Merlin and I could ever be." Mae nods and closes her eyes, whispers "batian"opening the up her blue orbs flashing gold for a moment. Merlin groans and his eyes flutter, Mae grips his hand a bit tighter, "Ugh" Merlin clutches his head with his other hand and opens his eyes fully "Mae? What happened?" Mae smiles through her tears, "Arthur said that Morgana threw you against a rock and made you unconscious." Merlin tries to sit up and Mae glares, Merlin lays back down and chuckles, "Yes I did see Morgana, before I could do anything she threw me." nodding Mae lets out a shaky breath, "I'm just glad it wasn't more serious or I might not have been able to heal you." Merlin squeezes her hand, "Thank you Mae" Mae blushes and looks away and lets go of his hand and waves it "It's no big deal" Standing up and walking to the door, "Just stay down and don't do anything stupid. I'll go let Arthur know about Merlin." Gaius adds, "Mae you should also apologize to him." Mae bites her lip and give Gaius a slight nod. "Good Girl" Gaius smiles and watches her leave.
