Camelot, Sunday

[bitchprince]

Matters were not exactly improving any.

After tossing and turning a bit last night trying to figure out how the bloody hell they were getting out of this predicament, Arthur looked a bit the worse for wear. Not that he'd admit to it, or do anything but keep his back straight.

He'd told Katchoo and Francine to use the servants' quarters closer to his chambers this time, as a precaution. Now he was up, though, and getting ready to meet with his father for the morning's briefing.

Oddly enough, he felt less than eager about it.

Gaius's Chambers, Sunday Afternoon

As soon as Gaius heard the door closing behind him, he turned. "Merlin!" he said. "What have you found?"

It was surprisingly easy to spy on someone when they thought you fled for parts unknown, you know.

Which would be why Merlin was able to notice that Lady Catrina took a potion in order to keep from turning back into a troll. And, through some random flash of intelligence not to be seen by anyone in Camelot ever again because it would ruin so many story lines...

Stole one of the potions.

"Can you make something that tastes and looks like this?" Merlin asked, holding out the small vial.

"I don't know," Gaius said, frowning. He took the potion, and held it up to the light. "I suppose so. Without the troll's magic, it wouldn't have the same effect..."

Because apparently these things needed to be spelled out, like Merlin was a particularly slow child.

HE WAS, OKAY? GOD, GAIUS. GOD.

"Exactly!"

He knew Merlin well.

"So... Catrina will keep taking it," Gaius said, his entire face lighting up, "But it will no longer work!"

THEY WERE BRILLIANT.

"And then she'll turn into a troll in front of everyone!" You know. In case the audience was that dumb as well.

Gaius nodded, and set the potion down. "Well, we'll have to get started quickly, then," he said. "There's no time to waste."

And thus... a potion brewing montage was started. And random fangirl enabling clips of Merlin tasting the potion. With tongue.

God help you all.
