"Hello again!"
Merlin hunched as the barmaid greeted them. She smiled winningly at Merlin. Arthur looked put out, and glared. Merlin gave the barmaid a wan smile.
"Mead again?"
"Yes, how did you remember?" Arthur asked mildly sarcastic.
"You're the prince, how could I forget? We don't have to worry about bandits now. It's just a shame you haven't been back since."
She smiled at Merlin again and waved her hand at the man behind the bar.
"Two tankards of mead for the Prince and his friend!"
"Servant," Arthur corrected loudly.
"On the house," she said still grinning at Merlin. Merlin sighed.
"Thanks."
