Merlin you've poo on your face
Chapter 2
Geoffrey was reading over some dusty old book in the other dungeon Camelot otherwise calls the library, when out popped Merlin startling him.
"Merlin I've told you before not to go skulking about my library!"
"Oh, I'm terribly sorry Geoffrey I didn't mean to startle you I suppose it's just sort of a habit of mine." Merlin had a sad expression on his face which softened the old librarian's response.
"Well…yes just don't let it happen again."
"I brought you something!"
"Brought me something?" He eyed Merlin with suspicion. Out came a glass bottle filled with wild flowers from its hiding place behind Merlin's back, and he placed it on Geoffrey's desk.
"There!"
"Flowers?"
"Yes I picked them just for you whilst I was out collecting herbs for Gaius this morning. I was enjoying the beautiful weather so much that I couldn't imagine being locked in doors all day and then you came to mind."
"Well they do look nice." Geoffrey said leaning forward to sniff.
"Geoffrey?"
"Yes?"
"Would it be alright to have lunch with you?" Merlin asked as innocent as a child.
"Lunch?"
"yes, see I already packed a basket and everything." He said lifting the basket from the floor wide grin on his face.
"Merlin?"
"Yes?"
"Are you alright?"
"Yes. Why do you ask?"
"Merlin I do hope you haven't forgotten to make all of the arrangements with the kitchens for Guinevere's birthday outing tomorrow?"
Arthur was poring over some papers on his desk wile Merlin was once again enjoying the beautiful weather outside of the royal chambers 's windows. He hadn't heard the king and that earned him a shout.
"Merlin!"
"Yes my lord? Have I done something to displease you my lord?"
"Yes! Your day dreaming again and shirking your chores! Why is it that you are day dreaming out the window instead of doing them?
"Forgive me sire" Merlin said with a bow. "But I have already finished my chores and have no errands to run for Gaius at the moment I am just waiting for the laundry to dry. I thought you might enjoy some company while her majesty is away with her brother."
Arthur stood and slowly walked over to Merlin.
"You aren't up to something are you? Smoking any of that new weed that's been circulating around the lower town?
"No my lord?
"Drunk? Mind you I have never seen you drunk but…"
"No."
"Well then, are you alright? Is Gaius doing well, your mother?"
"Yes, they both are of good health.
"I can't believe I'm even asking you this but, Merlin why do you already have all of your chores done?"
They looked at each other for a second silently.
"Because Arthur I don't have a reason not to have them done."
"Right, well I suppose that makes my day easier I don't have to keep kicking you in the back side throughout the day!" Arthur said with a wide grin. "But you did already make the arrangements with the kitchen right?
"Yes, all set for her birthday tomorrow!"
