Hello! Firstly; huge apologies for the delay! I did intend to update this once a day, however this week at work has been nuts!
It's also been such a week that I can't remember if I review replied or not... so thank you so much to all of you have reviewed if I haven't replied! And thanks to those who have favourited (that is a new word as of... now) this story and put it on your alerts!
Anyway, I digress... this drabble is, if you will, a companion piece to chapter 4 of my other Merlin fic, Something Beautiful. If you remember, Merlin became angry and proceeded to let his anger out on the stones and pebbles, resulting in him cutting his cheek and injuring his knuckles... this is the conversation after between Arthur and Merlin!
Wow, that was a bit of a self promotion of my own story... lol. Anywho, enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Merlin, else I would be happy. Very happy.
White Lies
Arthur frowned as he scrutinised his manservant who was currently collecting the remains of his breakfast. Merlin, however, was oblivious until he looked up; jumping at the way Arthur was closely watching him.
"Merlin," Arthur began, indicating to Merlin's hands and face. "Have you been in a fight?"
"What?" Merlin raised an eyebrow before looking down at his hands. "Oh, that. Well, I was... cleaning the weaponry?"
Arthur nodded slowly, still frowning. "Right, and those blades just happened to turn on you, cutting your cheek and knuckles?"
Merlin laughed nervously. "You could say that..."
"Merlin, don't play with blades."
Please review!
