Accidental
Merlin slowly turned to look at Arthur, hoping beyond everything that he hadn't seen it.
He really hoped so...
Merlin had used magic... he'd used magic to protect them. That had to count for something didn't it? But in the back of his mind he knew that this accident could be his downfall.
As the fighting receded Merlin turned to Arthur. "Your secrets safe with me, Merlin," Arthur whispered before turning back to the others.
So maybe, maybe this accident wasn't such a big deal anyway. He hoped so.
He really didn't like the thought of dying.
