"A Day in the Life of Merlin" (Rose)
I wake bright and early- a bit too early perhaps. Merlin isn't even up. "Hey, sleepyhead, wake up!" I tug lightly on his arm. He mumbles and turns over on his other side, pulling me off the bed since he was still holding my hand. I hit the floor with a hard clunk. "Oww," I whine.
I grab my pillow and smack him on the head with it. "Hey!" he exclaims, then does a double take, "Did I..?" He looks at me, and then at the floor.
"Yes," I lifted our hands, still clamped together. "You sure did," I laugh.
He laughs as well, "I am so sorry."
"It's fine, Merlin," I sit up.
"Do you want some breakfast?" he asks, joining me in an upright position, and he still looks half-asleep.
I peer outside at the ever-rising sun, "To be honest, I'm not sure we have time."
His eyes follow my gaze, "Oh, no, you're right." He stands quickly, and walks to his wardrobe with his socked feet. I can't help but giggle when he gets frazzled. "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything," he assures me, pulling out a red shirt and a blue neckerchief, and then proceeds in a search for his jacket.
I toss it to him, having found it on the little table in the room with the candle on it and a few other random items. "Right," I nod, taking my plainclothes in hand, "I'll leave you to it then."
He smiles at me, while I creep out through the door. I find my way behind the screen Gaius set up for us, in the event that we needed private changing spaces simultaneously. I change out of my nightgown and into my pink dress. I smiled to myself, thinking of what the day would be like, and of all the events that would arise, living a day in the life of Merlin.
"Breakfast on the Go" (Merlin)
I slip into my clothes and pop out my door. Gaius seems to have already started his day. His medicine bag is gone, along with him. I do a quick search around the room with my peepers and spot some food left out and at the ready for us. "Thank you," I mutter to an invisible Gaius.
"What was that?" Rose steps out from behind the changing screen, nightgown folded and in hand.
"Breakfast," I hoist the bread up in my hands.
"Merlin, we are still short of time," she gently reminds me in a somewhat motherly voice.
"Ah, yes," I nod, "That's why this will be breakfast on the go."
She walks up to me, with a curious look on her face, "Why do I get the feeling that you running with food in your mouth is not going to end well."
I laugh, "Probably because it most likely won't." I shove one of the pieces in my mouth and hold it there between my teeth. I mumble through my bread for her to follow me and I shoot through the door with her close behind.
