See Your Smile

He can't recall when he last saw Gwen smile and that bothers Merlin. Gaius sent him into the forest to collect some roots and plants, which took him almost all afternoon because he kept worrying. He spots some small purple flowers and suddenly Merlin remembers when she was happier.

She's still sitting on his bed when he gets back, mourning her father and worrying for Morgana. It feels awkward as he hands her a single small flower and he can't think of anything to say.

Gwen thanks him and smiles. It's quick and sad. But a smile all the same.
