Chapter Nine (III)

He glanced down at the body as Gwen went to lift the cloth. Quickly Merlin grabbed her hand electricity running through him. "Er... just moving something." Merlin said nervously. He looked down at her hand in his before letting go slowly unsure what speed to go that wouldn't come across harsh or creepy.

Oblivious to Merlin's small action she turned Merlin's attention back to the wagon. "Looks heavy."

"Earm, it's nothing really. Erm... did someone got you flowers?" Merlin replied wanting to draw the conversation away from the dead body.

Gwen looked down at flower giggling. She shook her head. "Oh! No. Would you like one? A purple one. Purple suits you. Not that I'm saying red doesn't suit you." Gwen ranted pushing a piece of hair out of her face.

Merlin's face brightened softly. Gwen pulls out ad power handing it to Merlin. Once again as their hands touch it made Merlin shiver a little.

"Thanks. Well, er..." Merlin said searching for a place to put the flower so it wouldn't get ruined or lost. He looked a the ground frustrated, suddenly he noticed his favorite scarf around his neck and he carefully placed the steam inside the scarf securing it.

He looks up to see Gwen smiling. He gives her big smile back. He gestured towards the flower and she giggled to herself.

They stood there for a minute just staring into each others eyes. Gaius bumped Merlin with the back of his wagon.

Breaking eye contact he turns to the wagon eyes widening. He turns back to Gwen waving at the wagon. "Er... see you."

"Bye." Gwen says swaying last them. Merlin followed her until she was out of sight. Finally he pulled himself back to earth and helped Gaius bring the body to his chambers for examination.

Morgana turned towards the door as smiley Gwen enters into the room. "You look happy." Morgana noted smiling at the girl.

Gwen skipped over to Morgana holding out a bouquet of little purple flowers. "I picked these for you."

Morgana took them smelling the sweet smell. "Oh, that's so sweet." she gushed giving Gwen a side huge.

Morgana searched for a vase to put them in. "Something to cheer you up. I know you're not sleeping well."

"You cheer me up." Morgana said her smile brighter than ever.

"Would you like me to put them in water for you?" Gwen offered taking the flowers back and placing them in a vase.

Artura paced across her floor waiting for a very late Merlin. The doors were thrown open. She raced over mumbling, "Finally." However,it wasn't the person she was expecting. "Father."

"Come we have a serious problem." Uther urged. Artura nodded following behind him. "Where is your idiotic servant I need him to get Gaius for me."

Artura looked around. "He is doing something personal, I'll go find him and have him get Gaius for you." Artura promised.

Uther nodded, "Be quick about it."

Artura bowed racing off to Gaius's chambers guessing she would have to get them both herself.

"Merlin!" Artura shouted out side the door. She listened as someone scampered towards the door peeling it open a jar.

Merlin stuck his face out before slithering his way out of the room. "Erm... I'm on my way. Sorry I'm late."

"Don't worry. I'm getting used to it." Artura said rolling her eyes. She scanned him up and down searching for the reason to his happy bubbly attitude. She found it a light purple flower la yes on his scarf for the world to see.
