--------- Episode 07 ---------
It had been almost a month since what had happened with Edwin and Quinn had been trying her best not to think about it. She had killed a man, yet only Merlin,Gaius and Arthur knew. Merlin and Gaius helped where they could but it was Arthur who cheered her up. He had began to build up the abandoned building they had found, as a way to make her feel better.
—————
She had taken the clothes to wash, when she spotted Arthur and Merlin getting ready for a hunt, she smiled when Arthur looked up at her and laughed when he tripped over his feet. He blushed as Merlin snorted lightly before turning to climb onto his horse as Arthur followed onto his own, soon they were riding off to the hunt.
——
Arthur slinks through the woods with a crossbow. Merlin bursts out of the trees and bumps Arthur as he's about to shoot, "What is it?" Arthur rolled his eyes and looked towards Merlin with a glare. "You really are a total buffoon, aren't you, Merlin?!" Arthur watched Merlin who shrugged, "I was just asking." Merlin watched Arthur roll his eyes and huff, "Who? Me or the deer?! We're supposed to be hunting. It requires speed, stealth and an agile mind."
"So you're able to get by on two out of three, then?" Merlin shot Arthur a fake smile as Arthur turned to look at the boy, almost ready to smack him when they heard a woman screaming. "What was that?" Merlin asked as they both stood up to listen closer, "Please! Don't!" It sounded like a man who yelled out as Merlin started stomping around, "Quiet." Suddenly the same women screams again, "Help!" Arthur grabs his sword from Merlin and takes off after the yelling.
A man lays on the ground as a bandit draws his sword to kill him, as a women struggles with three other snatchers. "No, no, I beg you! Mercy!" The man shouted as they struggled over the money, "Give us some money!"
"Help me! Help me!" Arthur shoots one of the robbers; the others attack Arthur. The man quickly gets up and holds his daughter while Arthur fights off the bandits; one of them gets up behind Arthur. "Forbærnen firgenholt." A large tree branch falls on top of the bandit trying to attack Arthur from behind. Arthur kills the one in front of him and the final bandit runs off.
Arthur looks up at the tree, then up at Merlin before he shrugs. "Stroke of luck." Merlin have a fake smile before he turn to the bandits as they ran away. "And let that be a lesson to you!" Arthur gives him a look, silently asking if Merlin has a screw loose as Merlin looks back. "What? I was covering your back." Arthur rolls his eyes and turns to the father daughter duo who held each other close. "You alright? Didn't hurt you?"
Sophia turns to Arthur and removes her hood. The moment their eyes met they turned red from a spell she cast on herself. "No... Thanks to you. I'm Sophia. This is my father." Arthur in a trance smirked and took her hand, "Arthur Pendragon... at your service." Arthur kisses Sophia's hand as Merlin glares at the clotpole prince. Either he was being nice or being an idiot because he was supposed to be in love with his sister.
