Let's Go On An Adventure

When they were back in the camp, Arthur put his foot down. "All right Merlin, this fear of dogs has to stop. You can't keep cowering every time one comes near you."

"Watch me!" Merlin hissed, his voice lacking the usual playfulness.

"No, I will not." Arthur stuck his sword inside of the dirt. "We are not leaving this campsite until you are completely cured."

"But Sire-" Leon protested.

"Completely cured, Sir Leon. Long-term exposure will do the idiot some good."

The Regent stomped off, leaving everyone in shock.

"Okay, what just happened?" Elyan asked with no response.

That's a good question, Elyan.

I imagine that it's difficult to get Arthur to change his mind about things. Once it's set, it's set.
