Griffinesque sent me this quote: "The man who smiles when things go wrong has thought of someone to blame it on!" -Robert Bloch. And here is where I went with it...

"Merlin!"

"Yes sire?"

"We have been tied up. We are being dangled over a ravine. We little to no hope of escaping with our lives as the only people who know to look for us were unconscious the last time we saw them. Why are you grinning like an idiot?"

"Well, sire… you know about Kilgharrah now."

"So?"

"He was the one who said we should check this out. You can't blame me this time."

"Actually, Merlin, you're the one who convinced me to listen to him in the first place. I still hold you responsible."

Merlin's grin suddenly vanished.
