Excuses

Arthur had decided he didn't care what weird relationship Merlin was in with his scarf thing. He was fine with it, really. Except that Merlin wasn't: he kept coming up with the most ridiculous excuses:

"I wasn't talking to my neckerchief; I was talking to myself and, while I was talking, it came undone at the back and fell into my hands... how did it come undone? I don't know, sire... it must have been an insect.

Yes, an insect with fingers that can undo knots.

Stop looking at me like that! I'm not lying! I DON'T LOVE MY NECKERCHIEF"
