"Merlin, right?"
The young man nodded, grinning.
"Are you new? I'd be happy to—"
"No. I mean, yes, but… I just wanted to ask: is Prince Arthur really as prattish as they say?"
Merlin narrowed his eyes.
"His majesty is a good man. He's brave, loyal, and will do anything for his people."
The new servant gulped. Clearly this was not the right question.
Merlin grinned a little before adding, "But… he does have his moments. Just try to avoid him when he's hungry."
The new man gaped as Merlin turned to go. He thought he'd never understand Camelot.
