Something In The Air
It had been a cold winter but nothing out of the ordinary for Camelot. The smell of spring was in the air and the warm breeze carried it throughout the kingdom.
There seemed to be more than a breeze blowing through the kingdom. The knights were distracted at training. Arthur called it a day after only half of the regular session. He couldn't get them to concentrate.
He came back into his shared chambers and Gwen looked up from the correspondence she was going through. "You're early. Is there something wrong? I didn't hear the warning bell."
Arthur threw his gloves down on the table. "The knights are all scatter brained. I couldn't get them to concentrate. Maybe there is some sort of enchantment at work."
Gwen laughed "Arthur, its spring."
"What has that got to do with anything?" Arthur was confused.
"Love Arthur. They are falling in love." Gwen laughed. "We fell in love in the spring, remember."
"Are you sure it's not sorcery because I don't remember being a complete idiot when we fell in love." Arthur said.
Gwen laughed.
Merlin walked in with an arm load of sheets.
"Merlin, are you in love?" Arthur asked.
Merlin looked at Arthur. "No and I wouldn't tell you any way."
"Why not?" Arthur was offended.
"Knowing you, she would be banished for distracting me from my duties." Merlin said as he started to strip the bed and change it.
"I would not!" Arthur said. "But if a girl was in love with you it would have to be an enchantment."
Arthur! Gwen admonished him.
Merlin smoothed the sheet on the bed and thought of all the women he had loved and lost. He sighed and went back to his duties.
