A/N: Hello, all. Some more (hopefully hilarious) crack for you. :)
This is set in an AU Golden Age, so if Arthur hadn't died, and Merlin ended up as his resident warlock. They went and pissed off a young Priestess (because I figured one of the things Merlin would be responsible for as Emrys would be reviving the Isle of the Blessed, and the next generation of magic users) with the whole girl's petticoat thing. Mostly, of course, just because that annoyed me. You have no idea how uncomfortable lady's undergarments were, Arthur, so no insulting them. *cackles*
THANKS to smuffly for reviewing last chapter! I'm so glad someone is enjoying this, and I'll keep updating as the muse allows. :D
I like reviews, guys, even just for this little nonsense. :) Have an awesome day!
"What. Is. This."
This disbelieving query came from an astounded King Arthur, staring in disbelief down his front. Merlin sighed, behind him, but it was the young girl outside their cell regarding Arthur with an air of satisfaction, that answered.
"Well, I'm a girl, and that's a petticoat. It belongs to me." She smirked, as both Arthur and Merlin groaned. "I see you understand my train of logic. I noticed you seemed to think the term " girl" was an insult, and for some reason, you brought irritation undergarments into it. It seemed you needed education on both those subjects. Enjoy, my king," she said, with a mocking deep curtsy, and pranced smugly away.
Arthur cursed her for several moments, and then set about trying to pull the wretched thing off of him. The nerve of that young-
"Arthur?" His Court Warlock's tone was that of forced calm. It was a tone that boded no good if attention was not gained, and Arthur instantly stilled.
"Yes?" He asked hesitantly.
"Next time," Merlin suggested in the same tone. "Don't insult a Priestess of the Old Religion in training in the place she has almost unlimited power?"
It sounded like a suggestion. It was clearly anything but.
Arthur sighed. "But I didn't even insult her! I just insulted you in her hearing!"
"Well, she decided to prove that "girl" wasn't an insult by shutting us up in here, and that you should leave he undergarments out of it by wearing them yourself, so clearly wires got crossed somewhere!"
Merlin had begun at a reasonable volume, but was practically shouting when he finished. Arthur struggled a bit more, and then stopped and sighed.
"We'll be stuck here all day, won't we?"
Merlin didn't even bother to take his eyes off the window. "Oh, yeah, definitely."
Arthur sighed again. "Wonderful."
