Chapter Two
Merlin
Merlin was silent for a moment. Arthur was drumming his fingers across the table impatiently. Merlin gulped.
"Come on then, Merlin." Arthur said.
"I may lie a bit." Merlin said quietly.
"Lie about what?" Arthur asked.
"What could you have to lie about?" Gwaine asked laughing. Merlin and Lancelot both got an uncomfortable look about them.
"I lie about going to the tavern." Merlin said.
"You seem to spend the better part of your life in the tavern." Arthur said.
"I've never seen you there Merlin." Gwaine said.
"That's because…..I'm never there when you're there. One of us has to be sober." Merlin said weaving his web of deceit.
"Right." Lancelot said. "Who's next?"
