The person who gave me this prompt wished to remain anonymous. For the actual prompt, I just summarized the entirety of what they gave me, but just assume that the majority of the events in this drabble series came from him/her.

Disclaimer: *incessant barking that no one can make out* What's that? Are they saying that BBC has relented to sell me Merlin? *barking continues*

Let's Go On An Adventure

Sir Malory intercepted the Regent as he prepared to leave for his hunt. "My Lord, may I have a word?"

Arthur threw an impatient look at Merlin, who was even more sluggish than usual. "Make it quick."

The older knight hesitated. "In private, My Lord?"

Arthur was getting tired of all of these titles.

"All right. Merlin, make sure that the dogs are watered." Merlin squeaked but did not argue.

Arthur followed Sir Malory off to the side. "What can I do for you?"

"It's about Merlin, My Lord. I'm afraid that he has a fear of dogs."

Sir Malory is my own character. I named him for Sir Thomas Malory, who wrote "Le Morte d'Arthur."

The proper term for the fear of dogs is cynophobia.
