Chapter 10
(In the room Gaius has turned into a medical bay, he is treating Gwen, who is now awake)
Gwen: What happened?
Elyan: Morgana took you out using magic
Gaius: And powerful magic at that
Gwen: Where's Arthur?
Elyan: Still out there.
(A little while later the other knights come in carrying Arthur with Merlin behind them)
Gaius: Put him down here, quickly
(Gaius starts examining him)
Gwen: What happened?
Leon: Morgana got him
Gwen: Oh my
Gwaine: Its ok though, Merlin saved him
Gwen: Then why isn't he awake?
Merlin: Because for the healing spell to work, he has to be asleep.
(Gaius finishes his examination)
Gaius: He will be fine, take him to his room
Percival: Sure
(The next day, Gwen is sat at the table when Arthur wakes up)
Arthur: What happened, why does my chest hurt?
Gwen: Because Arthur, Morgana hit you.
Arthur: She hit you too, are you ok?
Gwen: Yes, it was a minor injury, Gaius patched me up.
Arthur: I assume he did the same to me then, I must thank him.
Gwen: I will thank him, you will thank someone else.
Arthur: I do not understand.
Gwen: Your injuries were severe, so much so that if you had been moved you could have died, so Merlin made a split second decision to heal u=you using magic.
Arthur: He used magic on me.
Gwen: Yes and if he hadn't you would be dead right now, so when he comes in a few minutes with breakfast you will thank him.
(5 minutes later Merlin comes in with a tray of food and lays it on the table)
Merlin: Breakfast for the King and Queen
Gwen: Thank you Merlin
(Merlin turns to leave and Gwen glares at Arthur)
Arthur: Merlin before you go, there's something I'd like to say.
Merlin: Yes Arthur what is it?
Arthur: Thank you.
Merlin: Huh!
Arthur: You saved my life, for that I will always be grateful.
Merlin: You're welcome, now if you excuse me those stables won't clean themselves.
(Merlin leaves)
Arthur: A simple thank you does not seem sufficient does it?
Gwen: What are you going to do?
Arthur: Something my father wouldn't have done in a million years.
