Room 303, Sunday Morning

[bitchprince]

Arthur did not awake to the feeling of having slept particularly well. His head wasn't pounding, which was a good sign, but his brain felt like it still wanted to seep out of his head into something nice and unconscious of the sweetest kind.

He was usually an early riser. He was trying to remember why he didn't feel inclined to be so right now.

Of course, that's when he opened his eyes and found two very curious blue eyes peering back at him. "You awake yet?" Gawain demanded. Yes, demanded.

Oh, hell. "Go back to sleep," he ordered.

"But sir," Gawain said, plaintatively, "It's time for morning exercise."

Arthur was going to murder the world.

And that made Hunith burst out laughing.

Merlin sighed and reached out to take her arm to bring the girl closer. "Hunith, I'm serious. You could harm someone."

'Like your father over there' he didn't add.

Interesting way to distract them from a serious subject, Leto noted. "Yes, you could." He couldn't keep an eye on her all the time, and here he was responsible. Well, Merlin was too, he expected.

"I know," she said. "I'm careful. It's hard to resist." Then her face lit up again. "But it's the only thing you agree on!"

Merlin shot Leto a look. "I can't say I'd doubt that. But how about if you tone it down for him, we can practice in the preserve?"

[future_sandworm]

"I approve of that suggestion," Leto replied, returning the look. How had they ever managed to... No, better not think about that.

Hunith reached up to give Merlin a hug. "I promise!"

"Be... not horrible for him," Merlin said, giving Hunith a conspiratory smile.

[future_sandworm]

"What do you mean by that?" Leto asked, crossing his arms.

Hunith giggled, and looked from Merlin to Leto and back.

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"I wouldn't have the faintest idea what you're talking about, Lord Leto."

[future_sandworm]

That deserved no further comment. Leto shot Hunith a stern glance. "Don't listen to everything he says."

Hunith just smiled. Everything was clearly as usual.
