P.O.V Merlin

I dragged myself back into the Court Physician's chambers, "How was your day?" Gaius asked, not even looking up from where he was mixing herbs. "Awful-" Something scraping against sheets brought me out of the beginning of my rant. "He's been doing that for a while now," Gaius stated, abandoning his herbs to walk over and check the prone figure. I smiled, "So maybe what I did worked!" He gave a little glare, "We don't know what problems it could have caused though, Merlin."

"He'll be fine, Gaius! Just watch!" I exclaimed. "I hope you're right Merlin. But we won't find out till he wakes up." Gaius sighed.

(Time skip, next day)

"Gaius! I'm back!" I ran in shutting the door behind me, I had just got back from running errands for him. He barely looked up from where he was storing bottles, "Merlin! Could you change his head towel for me?" he asked, but I knew better, "Sure...."

I grabbed a towel off the table and stuck it into some water before walking over. I reached for the towel on his head, but my hand was quickly grabbed. Narrowed dark sky blue eyes stared me down, applying more pressure around my wrist each second. The grab had already surprised me enough.

I yelped out trying to move my wrist out of his grip, but he wouldn't budge. Gaius was already by my side moving to help, he grabbed the man's own wrist and applied to a pressure point. It was enough for him to let go for a second. I yanked my hand back cradling it as it already started to turn a purple color. The man looked around confused now, "Are you okay, Merlin?" Gaius questioned me, "I'm fine." I reassured him.

He nodded once at me before getting down to the strangers level, "Can you hear me?" The blond haired man looked at him in confusion before saying something in a jumbled language. Gaius made one of his faces that suggested he should have said something else, "Ok, can you understand me?" The man looked at him, "Possum enim intelligere te," he answered. My eyes widened. It sounded very similar to some of the words in my spell book.

"Don't say that here!" I hissed out before I could help myself. He tilted his head to the side narrowing his eyes in concentration. "Why?" he asked perfectly, Gaius's eyes widened in surprise before replying, "Just don't say that here, okay?" The man nodded easy enough but still looked confused.

"Can you tell us your name?" Gaius questioned. He furrowed his eyes again and bit his lip, "Náhookos.......or Alfred I think," he replied after a while. "What do you mean, 'You think?'" Gaius prodded. "I don't know..... I just can't remember..."

Gaius nodded, "Ok, get some more rest." he said while lightly pushing him back down. He grabbed me by the arm and dragged me far enough away, "He clearly has brain damage, we're going to have to be careful around him." He looked at me pointedly, "I won't do anything!"
