Arthur knew it was pointless fighting with Morgana, especially when he couldn't even convince himself with his argument, but he carried on regardless. After an hour of solid arguing Morgana finally gave up and stormed out of the room in a huff, slamming the door.
Arthur sank into his chair with a sigh. He wanted to believe, and how he wished he could, but something kept him from hoping. Merlin was dead, Arthur had seen him die... Hadn't he?
Arthur sighed again sinking into his thoughts only to be jerked out of them by a soft knock on the door.

"Come in."
At the resigned words, Merlin opened the door slowly and stepped inside. The window was open, though the lone figure in the chair by the empty fireplace didn't seem to notice the cold.
"Arthur?" Merlin asked quietly, causing the man in the chair to look up, turning dead eyes to look at Merlin, breaking Merlin's heart a little.
"Arthur?" Merlin whispered again, the name catching slightly in his throat, he couldn't handle Arthur looking so defeated. He took a cautious step forward, then another before he reached Arthur, threw away any doubts and hugged him.
"I'm so sorry."
