Man, I wish that I had some water. All of this fanfictioning has left me with a dry cough.

Summary: They are about to leave for a hunting trip, and Arthur has decided for whatever reason to bring the dogs this time around. 9 parts!
Let's Go On An Adventure
"What are you playing at, Princess?" Gwaine urged as they chased after Merlin.
"I was trying to help!" Arthur retorted, running as fast as his legs would carry him. "I thought that maybe if he spent some time with the dogs and saw that they were perfectly harmless, he'd stop being scared of them."
Gwaine wanted to slap him. "You called them beasts! How does that help?"
"It slipped out!"
"Whatever you say, Pr- Merlin!" Gwaine sprinted forward to where his friend was being assaulted by the overly playful, absolutely lovable hunting dogs.
Merlin was screaming in pure terror.
My mom used to have a phobia of snakes, so her doctor told her to get a pet snake and the phobia would go away. At first, she didn't believe him. Then she got Salazar one fateful July 4. Now she's the crazy snake lady. Arthur was trying something similar (called flooding or something), but it looks like it's failing.
Here's a thought: do animals consider it to be assault when we are petting them all over their bodies? Imagine how humans would react.
