I'm going to thank all of you again for following, reviewing etc. I'm updating as fast as I can but unfortunately I'm not the flash nor Wonder Women nor Merlin. And even worse news: I don't own anything.
Merlin decided she absolutely positively hated the dungeons. Okay they kept the bad guys locked up (most of the time) but that didn't mean she had to like them, right? Her own experience in those filthy, wet cells didn't really help. But still, here she was, again, waiting for the assassin-wannabe to wake up. (Turns out she was pretty strong when she wanted to be, she hoped Arthur noticed and saw it as a "warning".)
She was still angry, mind you, she couldn't let Arthur get away with insulting her so easily, now could she? When she'd confronted Arthur she didn't get the reaction she wanted, on the contrary, he just froze. And after a few minutes being a statue he just started stuttering! He was so infuriating!
Let us take a little trip to the past (= FLASHBACK!):
'I-I, euhm, I d-d-di-didn't, I d-didn't m-mean t-to, I-I...' Well, look at that, she got the king speechless, great so much for an explanation.
Arthur didn't know what to say or how to act, his hart told him to come clean and to tell her how he felt. His brain on the other hand told him to start project "damage control". He obviously did the most logical thing, he started to stutter out an excuse. And of course that didn't work so he went to the second possible option: he acted like nothing had happened.
'Euhm, ' He asked 'shouldn't we call the guards and get this thug to the dungeons for questioning?' Way to go Arthur he scolded himself when he noticed that Merlin was on the verge of tears.
'Sure I'll go get them my lord.' Her voice was merely a whisper and lacked its usual amount of sarcasm. She slid out of the room leaving Arthur alone to his thoughts. Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid…
And back to the "future" (= end FLASHBACK!):
Arthur didn't like the dungeons, he'd been in there far too many times when his father had been king. But the cells had their advantages when you were king, you could (for example :) lock up some criminals and stuff. They (Merlin, Arthur and 2 guards) were currently waiting for that piece of filth to wake up. Quite literally, he could understand that the guards hadn't seen him but how could they have missed his smell? Seriously, he smelled worse than a pig! He wasn't able to keep his mind of Merlin, he had hurt her and was only making things worse. She still looked crestfallen and he hated it. Merlin was supposed to be happy and clumsy, not serious and sad. Oh, what to do now?
Liked it, hated it? Let me know please!
