This was written for the 'Random Episode' drabble challenge on the Heart of Camelot website: Choose a scene from a randomly generated episode. Explore existing events in the episode, add an extra scene, explore what might have happened in the immediate aftermath... whatever inspires you! But it must be based on that episode.
I was given Episode 4x06 "Servant with Two Masters".
A/N I hope the scene I've chosen to expand is pretty obvious. I also blame the Heart of Camelot chatroom for what came out on the page for this one. We were talking about crackfics, and….!

The Other Victim
He snuffled with scorn from the edge of the pen. Looking around him he saw several other pigs at the far corner wallowing in the mud; others were squealing over a manger of slops.
This would not do at all. He could not abide with all of this noise, and he certainly was not going to eat slops. He did not see why he had to stay here with the common town livestock. Surely a more appropriate place could have been found for him while his barn was being repaired.
After all, he was The Pig from the Royal Sty; a Pig Prince, or so he deemed himself. Anyone could see his superiority. His skin was beautiful and unblemished, his ears soft and silky, and his hoofs hadn't a single nick. Not at all like these puny, blotchy and spotted animals milling inelegantly about.
This had to be a mistake. Surely someone would realize that a Pig worthy of being a sacrifice for the Royal Table should be treated with more respect.
Yes, he was right, for Kind-Boy was walking directly towards the pen. But Kind-Boy looked strange today. Instead of smiling or pursing his mouth in deep thought as he usually did, he was scowling. Kind-Boy was obviously angry that a Pig Prince had been left in such a state, and wanted to set things right. That must be it! Sure enough, Kind-Boy was carrying a plate full of interesting looking foods, and was throwing it right in the pen.
Certain this fine meal was meant for him alone, The Pig Prince trotted over towards the fallen plate, grunting and baring teeth at any of the lesser pen-denizens that dared to get too close. He had no intention of sharing.
Finally, he would get what he deserved!
Yes. Yes, he did!
A/N Okay, so don't expect any more crackfic from me, but this had to be tried, right?
A/N Just in case you don't remember this episode, this is the scene where Merlin dumps a poisoned meal he'd intended for Arthur into the pigpen. The pig dies. No (real) pigs were harmed during the writing of this story though.
