Drabble 10: Wonders of the Younger
Gaius watched Merlin storm up to his room, no doubt coming from a heated situation with Arthur. Something had really set those boys on edge as of late. Maybe it was the sudden rise in temperature around the kingdom?
All Gaius could think about then, however, was how he had watched his young charge grow from a boy to a man in the years he'd known him… and maybe someday, he'd be a great warlock.
Perhaps Gaius would need to talk to Merlin tonight, over a bowl of hot soup. Merlin would bounce back from this, surely.
He always did.
