Hi again! Today's word: Coxcomb (Cockscomb) – the cap of a jester, decorated to resemble the comb of a rooster.

Still no Merlin owning.


"Arthur," Merlin growled, "I will never forgive you for this."

"That's fine Merlin. I wasn't expecting you to." Arthur patted his shoulder then led the way into the banquet hall.

"I present," he called in his most kingly voice, "our new court jester!"

All eyes turned to Merlin standing just behind the king in ridiculaous red, green, and blue, garb with dozens of tiny bells and a chicken-like hat. Everyone burst into cheers and laughter, Gwaine being the loudest.

Merlin gritted his teeth and smiled.

The next morning Arthur awoke with the chicken hat on and couldn't get it off.
