Thanks for all the reviews guys... you keep making my day ;D
Merlin was stunned. Not at the fact that Cundrie was a magic user, he had sensed that the moment he had walked into the room, but at the fact that both Gwen and Arthur knew and still had protected her. Gwen was waiting for Merlin's response still, so Merlin tried to keep his face neutral, even though inside he was whirling in both pride and wonder.
"It doesn't matter," Merlin started. "I don't care that she has magic, Gaius and I will do what we can to help her. "
Gwen sighed in relief, glad that she had Gaius and Merlin on her side at least. Somewhere in the back of her mind she wondered why Merlin was so accepting of magic, despite what it had done to Camelot over the years, but she ignored it in the hope that it was nothing.
Gaius broke the companionable silence. "What did Arthur think of all this?"
"I don't know," replied Gwen, "He only sent me to get their wounds seen to."
"Well," Gaius said, looking over the two sleeping children, "We can only hope he is not as bad as his father."
Arthur froze outside the door he had about to knock on, Gaius' words just reaching him. "We can only hope he is not as bad as his father."
What did that mean? Surely they didn't think he was going to mindlessly kill them, the way his father would have. He was not angry at the comment, only hurt. He turned away walking back to his room, not noticing the door opening slightly and Merlin's sorrowful eyes glancing back at him.
Merlin had noticed through one of the cracks in the door a glint of gold. Arthur. He was about to mention it when Gaius mentioned about Uther. Oh no, he thought, dashing to the door to try and prevent Arthur from moving. But it was too late, he watched as Arthur stormed down the corridor.
"Oh dear," Gaius said, all of them knowing how much his previous comment would have affected Arthur. Merlin sighed, and then started walking to the King's chambers, knowing that Arthur would need an apology if they had any chance of protecting the magic users.
