AN - Just because this Merlin scene really annoyed me!
A Score to Settle
"Gaius, you have to do something." Uther pleaded loudly from inside Merlin's room. The two of them were discussing Morgana's status, both blind to the fact that Merlin was listening with his ear pressed up against the wood of the door. He could hear Gaius sigh.
"Sire, I cannot. There is nothing left to be done."
"Surely, Gaius," Uther pressed on. "there must be something you can do."
"Sire, I-"
"Whatever you need to do. I'm confident you understand what I'm saying to you. Whatever processes you require." the king urged.
"Are you suggesting I use magic to heal her?" Gaius exclaimed in whispered tones. Uther did not hesitate. "Yes. You know where to find me." The conversation was obviously ended. Merlin had seconds to jump back before the door flew open. The young wizard was in a state of shock. Uther wasn't just an ignorant ruler, he was also a hypocrite.
