Prompt #7 "why are your hands purple?" "That is a very good question."

Arthur walked into the physician's chamber, and see Mae standing next to Merlin and across from her is Gaius. They all jump and turn toward Arthur, Mae seemed to hide her hands behind her back. Arthur looked at them with a curious glare, "What in the heavens are you all doing?" Merlin talked first, "Nothing sire, just talking about various things. You know like remedies and such, you know medical things." Arthur seemed a little wary, "You're all brewing potions again aren't you?" They all shook their heads quickly. Arthur scoffed, "Mae, may I see your hands?" Mae gulps loudly, "Why would you want to see my hands?" Arthur waited patiently, tapping his foot against the stone floor. Mae sighed and rolled her eyes, she stuck her hands out from behind her back, her hands were a dark purple. "Why are your hands purple?" Mae shrugged, Gaius spoke up, "That is a very good question sire, you see we wer-" Arthur stepped forward grabbing Maes hands, "See I KNEW you were brewing potions again. How many times do I have to tell you! You all 3 should not do it during the day, or at the very least do it where you won't get caught! I don't need all 3 of you executed if someone saw you guys doing such things!" Merlin scoffed, "Arthur, Listen, we weren't doing magic. Mae had a rash on her hands and we thought of this different remedy that might help it go away, and well it did work...it just turned her hands a bit of purple." Arthur glared at his servant, "A bit!? Her entire hands are purple and it seems to be traveling up her arm!" The 2 Sorceress and Mae looked down at her hands, "Oh my heavens it is!" Arthur dropped her hands and made his way toward the door, "Just fix it, soon. Father wants her for dinner tonight!" The door slams behind Arthur as he grumbled his way down the steps.
