Do you know how hard it is to deal with three cats? Yes, there's a third one now. His name is Sam, and he belongs to those living in our camper. Anyway, he is LOUD. As in, he sounds like a foghorn or something like that. Then there's Rose, who has made it her personal mission to lose weight by eating vegetables. AKA, the flowers. Then there is Annie, who is always nuts. She is also trying to eat the flowers AND she has taken over as the Snake Stalker.

I meant to say this yesterday, but my heart goes out to those in Manchester. I hope that it didn't personally affect any of you, but that is just horrible, ESPECIALLY since it was pretty much targeting the young. I've not felt this horrible about an attack since Sandy Hook.

Disclaimer: Because of Merlin, I don't own Merlin...yeah, I know that makes perfect sense.

Prompt: From me: Arthur, with his new magic talents, frees Freya.

Rating: T

Genre: Hurt/Comfort

Characters: Arthur, Freya, mentions of Merlin

Time Frame: Post "Like Glass" and "Glass Shards"; during "The Lady of the Lake"

Summary: Arthur can't sleep without getting another nightmare, so he takes a walk in the Lower Town. That's when he sees the cart.

Let's Go On An Adventure

Their eyes met. In the dark, it was hard to shake that look of glass-like hopelessness from his memory. As Arthur watched the girl through the bars of her cage, he felt a sudden warmth. A rush of golden power crept from his fingertips, snaking its way towards the lock. There was a barely audible click, and the door swung open.

The Prince found himself stumbling forward to help her. He grabbed her thin wrists, almost involuntarily. "What is your name?"

"Freya," she answered softly.

"Well, then, come on."

Freya stared. "Why are you helping me?"

"Because of Merlin."

Keep in mind that Arthur had almost no control over his magic. No one even knows about it (or at least he hasn't intentionally told anyone about it) until now.

However, this means that Arthur is no longer alone. No, I am not suggesting that this is Arthur/Freya (is that even a ship on this site?). Arthur can just recognize her as the kind of person Merlin would like.
