Frater Meus Parvus pt.4

Hello, hope you are having a good day.

"Who are you?" Arthur asked.

"I'm Freya. I'm Freya's girlfriend. You must be Arthur." Freya answered. Then Merlin woke up. Merlin smiled when he saw Freya.

"Salve domina lacus." Merlin whispered.

"Salve mea accipitris." Freya replied. "How do you feel?"

"Weak."

"I'll make you some tea."

"Ok."

Freya and Merlin kissed. Then Freya went to go make Merlin some tea.

"She's really nice." Arthur said.

"Yeah. She is. I've known her since I was 19. We met and then she died. She came back a couple years ago. She's tried to help me but it hasn't worked. We're going to get married in a few weeks." Merlin explained. Arthur and Merlin talked about Freya. Merlin sat up and was leaning against the pillows. Several minutes later, Freya came in. She carefully handed Merlin the cup of tea.

"Careful, it's hot." Freya warned. Merlin nodded and carefully drank his tea. Freya sat down next to Merlin. They talked for a while. It was evening when Freya left. She kissed Merlin who was almost asleep. Merlin fell asleep a couple minutes later. She kissed Merlin who was almost asleep. The next day, Merlin slept. Freya came around noon to see Merlin. She saw Arthur watching over Merlin.

"How is he?" Freya asked.

"He had a fever after you left. All night, he was in and out of consciousness." Arthur answered sadly.

"At least he's sleeping through."

"Yeah."

"I'll watch over him now."

Arthur went to get some rest. Freya watched over Merlin. A few hours later, Merlin woke up. Merlin panicked and tried to get away.

"My accipitris. Tu ok." Freya said. Merlin gasped and calmed down.

"Me paenitet." Merlin gasped.

"You're fine."

"Can you help me out of bed?"

"Sure."

Freya helped Merlin get out of bed. She helped Merlin walk to the living room. Merlin and Freya were about to sit down when someone knocked on the door. Freya opened the door and saw Balinor.

"Father?" Merlin breathed. Merlin stumbled to Balinor.

"Merlin." Balinor happily said. Merlin almost collapsed but was caught by Balinor. Balinor hugged Merlin tight. Then Balinor realized that Merlin was warm. "You're so warm." Balinor put a hand on Merlin's forehead. "You have a high fever."

"I know." Merlin panted.

"You should sit down."

Balinor helped Merlin sit down on the couch. Freya got Merlin a cup of water. She handed the cup to Balinor who helped Merlin drink the water.

"How do you feel?" Balinor asked.

"Fine." Merlin replied.
