Arthur was hearing his internal battle, as Merlin pushed himself up the wall and tried to seem as normal as possible. Both Merlin and Arthur knew that Merlin wasn't going to stand on his own two feet for much longer. Arthur grabbed him just in time to catch him falling. Arthur tried to ignore the sparks he felt at the skin to skin contact as he pulled Merlin back to his feet. Arthur growled under his breath and spat at Merlin

"You know better than to try and fool us. If you do try that again I will fire you!" Merlin laughed a little, as he held onto Arthur's shoulder for support as he waited for the pain to subside. Merlin knew Arthur'd never fire him, he was the best servant Arthur had ever had, made him a better person, or so Arthur unwillingly believed. Merlin joked

"Again Sire?" Arthur couldn't help but smile as he said

"Yes Merlin again... just to make you care enough about yourself to tell people you are hurting" a certain seriousness in his voice. But his thoughts echoing wht he was really trying to say

I care about you bumbling idiot and if I ever have to read your thoughts to know you are hurting again. God help me I'll—

"You'll what sire?" Gwen looks at from one to the other and knew they were sharing a private convocation she wondered if magic was involved. She decided that Merlin was in Arthur's capable hands and they wanted got up to leave. Arthur remembered just as Gwen picked up her basket that on his search for Merlin, he had bumped into the nice lady Elena, Gwen's new master and she asked that if Arthur saw her before she went out for her afternoon ride, could he sent Gwen her way.

Arthur always got on with Elena, normally Arthur only spoke to nobles out of necessity not out of free will, but Elena and Lord Damon (Elena's husband) plus one or two other nobles, were the exceptions, Arthur found himself constantly turned to Damon and Elena for help, about not only his feeling for Merlin, which he had trouble coming to terms with about a year ago.

But also about any problem magically or otherwise, in a way they were the Aunt and Uncle Arthur never had and even Merlin knew just how nice they were. Merlin had come to them, as he feared for his life and mostly for Arthur's. Although he never actually admitted to them his magic, Merlin knew that no matter his worry, he could just turn to them.

"Gwen... Elena and Damon wishes to see you before they go on their afternoon ride" Gwen bows in thanks and rushes of to assist her lady. Arthur helped Merlin and lead him to his chambers

Merlin rested in Arthur room for a couple of hours. Merlin and Arthur spent the afternoon just talking, explaining their feeling one another, in words. Both had decided to not change their relationship too much, they knew how they felt and that was enough, they could take their time.

Arthur looked out his window and saw the sun beginning to set, so he told Merlin he'd take him home, considering he was still feeling dizzy and couldn't stand straight. Arthur wrapped his arm around Merlin's waist as they slowly walked to Gaius's chamber. They were having one of those speaking in the mind arguments. Merlin wondered if anyone had come to realize just how quiet they had both been all day and if they started having more silent battles, would anyone start to wonder if their relationship had changed.

When they got to Gaius's, Arthur pushed in the door. Guises snoozing shook the place, which surprised Arthur. Arthur had known Gaius since he can remember and the amount of times he turned to Gaius when his father wouldn't listen, even at the most ungodly hour, Arthur hadn't realized just how loud Gaius's snoozing really way. Arthur asked in thought

How do you live with that snoozing?

With a spell... no moral person can bare it! Arthur laughed at Merlin's plain answer, he made sense. Arthur would have never gotten to sleep with that noise so close.

"Explains a lot..." Arthur placed Merlin down on a chair, taking a seat next to him. Talking in silence again. But Merlin was worried, about what he had to protect Arthur from, considering how serious the Dragon's warning had been. He also wondered why he kept getting headache he only hoped that with practice and time he could just consider mind reading as a normal thing. Though he doubted it very much.

Weeks later Merlin, Arthur and Uther were in the throne room, the royals eating breakfast, Merlin had left the room, to get another bottle of wine at the request of the king. Merlin's headache has completely gone as long as Arthur didn't think too loudly in Merlin head. Merlin asked Arthur in thought

Any particular wine your father would like Arthur?

The chef will know, ask her.

Okay thanks, so what you and Uther talking about now?

Well, let's just say father is babbling about how Kirsty will come back.

Oh come on Arthur... How long till he gives up?

I don't know Merlin, I don't know. Though I do worry that she isn't safe, why did she just disappear?

Arthur... I... she... You know what I had to do to Morgana last year right? Poison her? Well Gaius thinks I did the same to Kirsty when she tried to kill the king, so I did what any person would do. I went to talk to her, after much persuading talked sense into her and sent her to my mother for safety... and I found out only a while after that, that she's my biological twin sister.
