But they dont count on Arthur following them!

3. Face to face with the green eyed monster

Arthur happened to be over looking the town from his window. He happened to glance down at the courtyard. Something happened to catch his eye.

Arthur watched his idiot manservant running of with one of his knights. He didn't blink for almost a minute as he made plans to run out after them.

Arthur found himself face to face with a green eyed monster.

Calmly Arthur walked out of his quarters and out into town. From there he ran down after the pair running through town.

At one point he almost lost them. Then he heard Merlin complaining about his feet. He chuckled shaking his head. All Arthur could think of was when merlin complained about long days spent traveling!

He peeped up through the bushes to look over at where his servant and his knight sat. He smacked his lips as he watched the water drops curl a path down Merlin's soft pasty skin.

Arthur wasn't sure if he was just thirsty, or if something else was going on here. Nonetheless he stopped to drink before he followed them on again.

Arthur had to hide behind some trees to watch Gwaine try and figure out a way through the bushes. He watched in wonder as Gwaine seemed to just vanish into the bush! Then Merlin looked in his direction and Arthur lept back.

Arthur peeked around just in time to see Merlin follow Gwaine over the log. He saw them fall and roll over. Then he saw them run. He had to run over the log and after them if he wanted the chance to catch them out!
