The Knights.
A guilty looking group hovered awkwardly in front of the bemused Merlin. They were shuffling and neither one of them looked like they were going to speak anytime soon.
Merlin didn't break the silence instead letting them suffer.
"Look Merlin." Leon finally said gruffly avoiding Merlin's eyes "I- we just wanted to say that our-"
"He's trying to say we're sorry." Gwaine interrupted. Gwaine didn't look as guilty as the rest and instead was smirking slightly.
"Our actions were not that of our own and we would never have acted such a way if we were in our right minds." Percival said in his deep voice- his muscles flexing slightly as he gestured as he spoke.
"I was unconscious for most of it- but I am still sorry." Elyan said.
Merlin burst out laughing.
"You think I'm mad?"
"I didn't" A peeved Gwaine said.
"Arthur told us too, said you were insulted. Said our actions were awful." Leon said his voice stilted.
"Well you weren't nice, but it wasn't your fault. She made you do it." Merlin shrugged.
"We are sorry anyway, for any hurt we caused." Elyan said determinedly.
"Quite alright." Merlin said cheerfully "Don't you have knight type things to get back to?"
"Arthur has us running drills, no idea why." Gwaine was frowning.
"Off you go then." Merlin shooed the Knights away.
Arthur was so firmly under Gwen's thumb it was unbelieveable, she had obviously been talking in his ear. Well, good advice was always welcomed Merlin thought staring thoughtfully at the retreating knights.
It was nice to see the knights get pummelled after such a week.
A/N Happy Merlin day! Thanks for all the reviews and alerts, you make me very happy! The Adventure Continues next week...
