Merlin did sleep on it, or rather he led in bed thinking. He did what he always did when he had a discussion to make. He made two lists in his head, for and against. The first list he made was about work and by the time he finished he had that one solved.
FOR working abroad….. Against
It helped people who really needed it….. Recent health problems
He loved it….Getting to know dad
Job satisfaction…Getting older wanted to settle

… Update Skills.

At three am Merlin finally fell asleep. Nine am Merlin rang Arthur and asked him out on a date that night.
