He gave her a teasing glare and she grinned. Elspeth giggled, her cheeks flushing red easily in the candel lit hall. Arthur stomped over to them and pulled Merlin aside. "Can you believe Morgana? She said she saved me. Like I needed any help."
At Merlins expression and Elspeths second fit of giggles, Arthur calmed. "I wanted to say... I made a mistake. It was unfair to sack you."
Elspeth bowed her head and smiled. It was a large smile that took over most of face, the biggest she had had in a long time.
Morgana walked over to them, casting a nasty look in Arthurs direction. "Can you believe him? He acts like he pulled that sword out of thin air."
"If I didn't know any better, my lady, I'd either say you were in love with him or you were his sister." El' said slyly, sharing a look with Gwen.
In high spirits, Elspeth walked home alone that night.
The moon seemed extra bright in the sky and the stars seemed to be making a melody. She hummed along to a random tune, passing by strangers familiar faces.
El' walked inside her and her mothers shared hut. She looked at the still working woman and smiled a little less.
"If being with him makes you happy, then I won't stand in your way." She said, making Ishildr pause. "I just... I just wish you would've told me the truth instead of lying to me."
"I didn't want to let you down." Her mother said softly, "I know how much you hold that promise to your heart."
"I still do." Elspeth responded quietly. "But... I'm starting to see not everything is as black and white as it seems. I want you to be happy, but next time, please just tell me the truth."
"I will." Her mother said, turning away from her work with a smile. "Why don't you sit and tell me everything I've missed out on this past week?"
"Well..." Elspeth began slowly. "I met Gaius' new assistant Merlin, got him out of trouble with the prince. Called him and the prince sexist pricks the next day, Merlin saved Arthurs life the day after that and got a new job as his assistant, Gaius taught me how to heal bruises, I went tp the tournament, I slept through an entire day, I got Gwen to speak with her father, I told Arthur about dad, a snake came out of a knights shield and tried to attack him but Morgana threw him a sword, they argued, we attended the feast and Arthur apologised to Merlin. I think I may have missed a few bits."
Her mother sat beside her with an incredibly confused expression.
After a moment she raised her brows, "So you're on first name basis with the prince?"
Elspeth sighed softly.
It was going to be a very, very long night.

You walked into the room and now my heart has been stolen You took me back in time to when I was unbroken Now you're all I want And I knew it from the very first moment 'Cause a light came on when I heard that song and I want you to sing it again
I swear that every word you sing, you wrote them for me Like it was a private show, I know you never saw me When the lights come on and I'm on my own Will you be there to sing it again? Could I be the one you talk about in all your stories Can I be him?
I heard there was someone but I know he don't deserve you If you were mine I'd never let anyone hurt you, no, no I wanna dry those tears, kiss those lips It's all that I've been thinking about 'Cause a light came on when I heard that song and I want you to sing it again
I swear that every word you sing, you wrote them for me Like it was a private show, but I know you never saw me When the lights come on and I'm on my own Will you be there to sing it again? Could I be the one you talk about in all your stories?
Can I be the one Can I be the one Can I be the one Oh, can I, can I be him?
Won't you sing it again? Oh, when you sing it again Can I be him? Oh, sing it again, yeah Oh, when you sing it again Can I be him?
I swear that every word you sang, you wrote 'em for me Like it was a private show, but I know you never saw me When the lights come on and I'm on my own Will you be there, will you be there? Can I be the one you talk about in all your stories Can I be him? Can I be him? Can I be him? Can I be him?
