Just Outside The Main Gate, Saturday Morning

[bitchprince]

Much like the previous day, Saturday found Arthur venturing back down to the barricade. It was early, the sunlight was yet shallow and leaning towards overcast, and only the first warbles of birds became evident as he slogged at the thing.

At least it had remained intact overnight. He was in full armor yet again, with shamelessly modded Merlin at his side. He'd stayed quiet opposite the boy most of the time, barring talk of strategy. The magic was something that'd have to be discussed again if they managed to survive this whole mess.

He climbed up so he could take a quick survey of the town. Watching the still forms lumber about, he felt a chill settling in his bones. There was only one word he could use to describe it.

"Bugger," he muttered, succinctly, and ran a hand through his hair. Sometimes, he had a knack for brevity.

Merlin eyed the... thing she had with her. He simply was not going to ask. Nodding from his position next to Arthur, he greeted her with a quiet 'Hullo'.

She gave a tiny smile. "Hi."

"Are you alright?" Merlin asked, ducking his head to catch her eyes.

She shook her head slightly. "Not really. They got my brother."

That got a wince on his part. "I'm sorry. We'll find a way to stop them, I promise."
