(4) 'Do you think the villagers believed him?' 'No. He's always been a troublemaker. They're used to ignoring him'

"WILLIAM!"

At his mother's shout, Will reluctantly rose. He had been lying dejectedly on the edge of the field, squinting against the too-bright sun.

"It's not going to rain anyways," he muttered, making his way through the crops. "I don't even know why we bother. It hasn't rained for weeks… what does it matter if there are weeds?" He exhaled loudly and surveyed the field. "We're all going to starve."

"We certainly will if you keep this up," Merlin said, grinning at him.

Will glanced at his friend hesitantly. "I bet you could—"

Merlin grin vanished. "Will. Please don't."

AN: Next quote: "I'm not a monster, am I?"

Somehow "troublemaker" was interpreted as "extreme pessimist" and "they're used to ignoring him" as "I'm used to ignoring him." Which is kind of how it felt to me in "Moment of Truth."

Hope everyone is enjoying series four :)

'Tis the season to give… reviews!
