Chapter 4
(The morning after the party, Arthur wakes up to find himself alone, he sits up and sees Gwen standing at the window)
Gwen: Morning sleepy head
Arthur: How long have you been awake?
Gwen: About 30 minutes, sorry it's a habit I suppose, getting up early to come into work.
Arthur: You don't have to work anymore
Gwen: I know that, but I've always woken up early and me being Queen now, isn't going to stop that.
(There is a knock on the door)
Arthur: Come in
(Merlin enters with a tray of food)
Merlin: Good morning your majesties, I have your breakfast for you.
Gwen: Merlin, what have I told you about all of that majesty and milady nonsense
Merlin: Sorry, anyway I'll leave you both to your breakfast
Gwen: Thank you Merlin, you may go
(Merlin leaves, Arthur gets changed and the two sit down to breakfast. Merlin is walking through the corridors, on his way to help Gaius when he comes across the knights)
Leon: Oh, Merlin
Merlin: Yes
Leon: Remind me, when are the formal introductions to Knights happening
Merlin: In about an hour's time, then there is the tour of the city after that
Leon: Ok, thank you
Elyan: How does Gwen seem this morning, I assume you've just come from giving the King and Queen their breakfast
Merlin: I have yes, she seems ok, I mean when I walked in there, she was already up and out of bed, while Arthur wasn't even dressed yet
(The knights laugh)
Gwaine: Is everything ready at the cottage?
Merlin: I've still got to move a few things out there; I could do with your help
Percival: You got it
Merlin: Thanks, see you later then, now if you excuse me, I must go and help Gaius.
Gwaine: Ok, see ya
(Merlin leaves, in Gaius's chamber, he is working at a bench when Merlin comes in)
Gaius: How are Arthur and Gwen this morning?
Merlin: They're ok, just tucking into breakfast
Gaius: Good, let's get on with the morning rounds before the formal introductions to the knights, grab that bag will you
(Merlin grabs the bag)
Kilgharrah: Merlin
(Merlin looks at Gaius who is still gathering his things)
Merlin: Kilgharrah, what can I do for you?
Kilgharrah: We must speak
Merlin: This afternoon, I will be free then
Kilgharrah: i look forward to our meeting
Merlin: As do I
Gaius: MERLIN!
Merlin: Sorry, huh
Gaius: Honestly, sometimes I think that something is seriously wrong with you, I said we'd better get going.
Merlin: Yeah, I'm coming
(The two leave and shut the door behind them)
