Gaius: Mordretta does not own Merlin. Or my porridge.

Merlin:...which is disgusting.

Gaius: Merlin!

Merlin POV

I try to squash myself into a cupboard in the hallway, without success.

"Come on Merlin!" Gaius says.

"I'm trying!" I hiss. I'm not exactly the right height to fit in a small broom cupboard, and Gaius knows this, yet he is adamant that I stay in there until I can overthrow the dreadful duo of Mordred and Morgana. I finally squeeze my gangly self into the cupboard, and Gaius hands me a bowl of porridge. "Your favourite", he smiles. I look doubtfully at the concoction. It looks as if it has been left out for a few months, and is almost solid. I choke down a spoon. Hmm. It tastes like it has been left out for a few months too. "Thanks Gaius." I say, giving a weak grin. Gaius pats me on the head and closes the broom cupboard door. I risk another mouthful of the porridge. It's not too bad this time. Then, I take a closer look and sniff at the thing on the end of my spoon. It's mud. I must have scraped it off my shoe, meaning to aim for the bowl. I just hope I haven't stepped in anything already eaten.
