The Stables, Thursday Morning

[bitchprince]

So, there had been... talking, all around. This week.

And then there had been thinking.

Some would say that Arthur thinking quite like that would be a stellarly bad idea.

Either way, it led to him, in the stables, with a puppy and a few horses. And a manservant. "We need to talk," he said.

Arthur did not know the significance of that line in this time and culture, no.

[[ thread with Arthur locked to that guy, but open if anyone needs to use the stables for something else. the fact that they had a Conversation and Arthur passed out is FB; the rest is NFB ]]

Yes. Very helpful.

As it laid to Arthur detaching somewhat suddenly. Sort of. There was still a lot of touching involved. "I was aware of that," he muttered, still not up to his usual level of insult.

"You passed out again." Stern Gaius look for you, Arthur.

"I noticed that," Arthur shot back. He'd finally acquired enough sanity and shaken off enough-- despair was the best word for it-- to start attempting to get up.

Merlin held out a hand for him, still giving him a look. "now will you go to the clinic?"

[bitchprince]

"Sir Minsc can't teach class tomorrow," Arthur answered. Yes, that was an answer. "I have to be there."

He struggled up onto his feet.

"No, you don't."

[bitchprince]

"I do," he returned. See? He was getting up off his own strength. He could do that.

"Arthur."

[bitchprince]

Arthur rolled his eyes. "Tag along, will you?"

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"You shouldn't go."

[bitchprince]

"I'll do this," Arthur repeated, glancing at him, "And then I'll go to the clinic. How's that?"

Merlin made a frustrated noise. "You need to go now. This is the second time it's happened."

[bitchprince]

"I'll just stay in bed until it's time," Arthur said, brushing past him. Not that he was eager for something to do. Really.

Merlin watched him go, not about to be happy with this. "As you wish, sire."

[bitchprince]

Arthur came to a pause a few steps further down the line, and cast a look over his shoulder. "In your room," he said, "Might as well take the chance to get away from Leto."

Which had nothing to do with staying close to Merlin. Noooothing.

"I'll air out Cal's bed," Merlin replied, picking up the horse comb.
