    Summary

    Arthur watched, unable to fully comprehend the events that had seemingly just crashed and burned in front of him rather than calmly unfold. He turned to look at the other knights who only shrugged as Mordred sank lower into his seat, lips pressed into a pout as he picked at his food.

    “I…” He started and paused, taking a moment to gather his thoughts “Why do you want Merlin to like you so badly?” He finally sighed. Mordred stopped playing with his food, glancing up before looking at the door the servant in question had exited through

    “Because he’s Merlin.” He said as if that provided any sort of answer.

    Arthur didn’t deserve this. He did his best to be a good person. Maybe this was some kind of divine intervention saying he needed to up his charity game. He needed to give the lower town a bigger tax break or something. Perhaps ride out and save three more damsels than usual.

    "He has a point," Gwaine piped up as he inhaled another mead "He is Merlin."

    Or
     
    Merlin hates Mordred and Mordred is determined to put an end to that. Arthur is convinced that this child is after his man.

    Summary

    Lionel is the first, approaching Merlin one late summer afternoon as the sun slants through the dust in the stables and turns the air into heavy fire.

    I mourn, now that your house contains
    such fractured shadows.
    This wine you’ve handed me
    tastes sour. I joke and you do not laugh.
    When you speak, assuming my approval,
    I stare into discoloured
    depths of my glass, longing
    to get away...
    (Harry Guest, "Death of a Friendship")

    Summary

    Occasional shinobi wars and giant demon attacks aside, living in Konoha relatively peacefully as a civilian isn’t too hard.

    Until a shinobi who is debatably more of a feral dog than a human takes a liking to you.
