What Happened To Merlin And Gwen

By waterrain

"Being saved by a woman can't feel good." Arthur commented to me and he has been teasing me for the last couple of days. I have said the same sentence several times him such as 'It is better than being dead'. I'm half-tempted to tell Gwen for Arthur has been going on and on as if it is disgraceful to be saved by a woman.

"Gwen stabbed the creature and you finished it by throwing a spear at its back. First I was saved by Gwen, but then we were both saved by you." I decided to change this up by saying something different and of course I didn't mention that I made said creature stop moving before he arrived to finish it off. If Arthur didn't show up then I would have used magic since I didn't want to die nor did I want Gwen to die. Of course Gwen would that I used magic and I'm not one hundred percent sure how she would react about me having magic, but I believe that she would be happy to be alive.

"I was pretty heroic saving you and Gwen from that creature. I made it in time and saved damsels in distress." Arthur informed me and I believe his ego has become larger than life.

"I'm not going to feed your ego, Sire. I was not a damsel in distress for I'm not a girl." I commented simply and I'm tempted to make his bath water cold as ice.

"Merlin, You act like such a girl being so sensitive."

"Well, Sire. I can't help the fact that I'm not an insensitive cabbage head."

"Merlin, Are you saying that I'm a cabbage head?" Arthur asked me, his right eyebrow raised, and arms still crossed.

"So how are the Knights?" I asked in an off-hand manner. I have not seen any of them ever since we made it back to Camelot and Gwen has not seen them either. Of course she has seen her brother, but none of the other Knights have shown their faces to her or to me.

"Don't change the topic." Arthur stated and he looks a bit annoyed. He can change the topic, but gets all hissy when someone else tries to change it.

"Did you ask how they treated Gwen and me while under Lamia's spell?"

"No."

"Of course can't blame them since they were under a spell. Your bath is ready, Sire."

"Wait, What did my Knights do?" Arthur asked me and he looks confused.

"It doesn't matter." I informed him. It doesn't matter for what has been done has been done, it is not worth mentioning, and the Knights had no idea what they were doing or saying.

"Merlin." Arthur said my name in that tone that says 'Tell me now before I put you in the stocks'.

"Everything was mainly directed towards me since I couldn't keep my mouth shut at all." I told him calmly and maybe he will drop it since Gwen did not really get the burnt end of the stick.

"Merlin, I want you to tell me everything that happened to Gwen and you while my Knights were under Lamia's spell."

"You can ask Gwen." I suggested, but he gave me a serious expression and I can tell he will not let the subject go.

"I'm planning to ask Gwen about my Knights behavior towards her and you after you tell me. From there I will talk one on one with my Knights, ask what they can recall, and-"

"It's not their fault, Arthur. They were under a spell and-"

"So? If they can recall their actions and if they feel regret then they should say sorry to you along with to Gwen." Arthur said firmly and his arms are crossed. "Now tell me what happened while my Knights were under Lamia's spell."

"Your bath water is getting cold." I commented while hoping that he will get off that subject, get into the tub, and let me leave. However he is going to press it since it deals with his Knights, Gwen, and me.

"I don't care, Merlin." Arthur informed me and he looks a bit silly standing there naked as the day he was born.

"You are completely naked, Sire."

"So what Merlin?" Arthur asked slowly and I had figured that my comment would get a 'So What', but it was worth a try.

"Are you going to stand there naked?" I asked calmly and he just gave me that irritated expression for I'm trying to get out of his question on what had happened when the Knights were under a spell.

"Yes, I will stand here naked until you tell me what I want to know."

"What if Gwen decides to walks in and sees you naked?" I asked causally and he goes into the tub. I felt a small victory for Arthur is in the tub. Maybe he will stop bugging me for details, but sadly that is doubtful for when he really wants to know something he will not stop pressing.

"I will be in this tub until you inform me what occurred and do not lie to me, Merlin." Arthur replied calmly, he looked at me, and he can be stubborn like a horse at times. "If I get all wrinkly then you will get to know the stocks a bit more intimately."
