Humor 8: Tongue of an Ass

The atmosphere in the castle, if Merlin could sum it up in one word, was awkward. Nobody wanted to remember the events of the Goblin attack and yet the embarrassing memories were fresh in their minds. The servant's didn't dare look the Pendragon family in the eyes, and the Pendragon's seemed to dismiss their servants more easily (Except for Merlin, no, Arthur was too much of a prat for that).

Merlin was neutral to it all of course. For once, he had not been the subject of utter humiliation. And to his utter delight, Arthur was still suffering his.

While the donkey ears were gone, Arthur's voice was going to have to heal naturally. Despite the embarrassment, Arthur had not been excused from his duties. To Arthur's dismay, Merlin seemed to be the only one who could understand his braying.

"Ee-haaa, eehaa!" Arthur ordered Merlin.

"Yes sire, right away sire," Merlin cheerily replied and passed the instructions to the guards.

"EEHAA!"

"But I already mucked out the stables yesterday!"

"Ee-haa!"

"I did that too you clotpole! But unfortunately I had to burn your socks. They were attracting too many scavengers."

"Ee-Haa"

"But Arthur….if I shut up, you'll have no one left to translate…"

"Ee-haa, Ee-haa, Ee-haa!"

"Arthur, if you use that tone on me one more time, I swear I'll misinterpret everything you say!" Merlin threatened with a smug smile on his face. Arthur glared as if to say: try me! Merlin then realized he had an audience. Arthur's knights pretend not to be interested, but they were all secretly laughing under poorly disguised coughs. Arthur tried to increase the training to get back at them but damn him, Mer-lin wouldn't properly translate him!

"Oh, hello, Gwen," Merlin greet the maid servant cheerily. Arthur's eyes widened and he quickly threw himself into training. He was NOT avoiding her!

"How do you understand him Merlin?" She asked curiously. Merlin frowned in response.

"Hasn't Arthur always been an ass?" was his response.

"EE-HAA EE-HAA!" Arthur screeched at him. Merlin glared in response but quickly covered it up with a feigned gasp of surprise!

"Arthur! How could you say that about Guinevere when she's standing right here!" Merlin gasped in shock. Gwen looked at him with eyes full of terror and made a run for the castle.

"MERLIN!"
