    Summary

    “What’s wrong with you Merlin? You haven’t said a word all day. There’s something disconcerting about the absence of your incessant prattle.” Arthur’s voice had that funny little whine to it that showed up when he was trying to hide his care beneath a barb or a prod.

    “I would have thought you’d be grateful for the reprieve, Sire” Merlin’s voice had been listless barely able to muster the energy to answer his King. His heart ached in his chest with the effort of showing up when all he wanted to do was hide himself away.
