by flaming-crystal-star

A collection of 100 word drabbles. Mostly based around Merlin and Arthur. Ch 78- Arthur did not understand yet the evils of sorcery. The intention behind the act did not matter. Who knew that better than he did?

24. Deliberations and Decisions

Author's Note: Here's another part of the series. This is taking on a life of its own! I'm on a roll! Hope everyone's enjoying reading this as much as I'm enjoying writing it! Thank you to everyone who has been reviewing or following the story.

Disclaimer: I obviously do not own Merlin, no matter how much I would want to.

Chapter 24: Deliberations and Decisions (part 5 of 8)

He was tempted to wake Arthur, but Merlin didn't know what to say.

Morgause's follower had taunted that it had been Arthur's fault that Igraine had died, that she would never have wanted him if she had known she would die, that she would be ashamed of Arthur because he was weak.

Seeing Arthur's anger and hurt at those words had infuriated Merlin, and seeing his friend still affected by the cruel words angered him once again.

Witnessing another tear escape Arthur's eyes, Merlin made his decision. Arthur would have to handle the embarrassment. Merlin couldn't let him keep suffering.
