"He's been like this since we found him. He hasn't spoken a word. He's been unconscious for most of the time, but the doctors say he looks fine. It's probably just shock," Annie says.
"Yeah I bet coming back from the dead is stressful," Merlin says trying to hold back tears. His powers burn in the back of his head or maybe it is just a concussion. Seeing Arthur again makes him want to cry and jump for joy at the same time. He thinks of the many years he spent without him, and all the time that has passed without Arthur. "When do they think he will wake up?"
"It's hard to say. It could be any time now, it could take days or even weeks."
"I've waited for so long. I can't believe he is finally here," Merlin says a lone tear finally rolling over his cheek.
"I know," Annie says hugging him, but he still feels as though a weight has been dropped in the pit of his stomach, and yet somehow a burden was lifted from his shoulders.
