Merlin: Truth or Dare (Percival) (Part 2.)

Merlin's POV;

"Wow, thank you," I said as Eleanor dished me a bowl of stew, "I don't think anyone's ever made dinner for me on a hunt before." I smiled at her kindly and she smiled back. As the only two servants we were exhausted, both of our masters making sure we did as much 'hunting' as they were doing.

"That's alright Merlin," Eleanor said, sitting back against a log, "You deserve it, after catching that rabbit all by yourself."

"Arthur would disagree with you there," I said, listening to her laugh, "but I'm glad someone noticed my efforts."

"Yes, you do really well on these trips," she mused, looking around the camp at all the cheery, full-mouthed knights as they ate her stew.

"Are you alright?" I asked suddenly, noticing how sad she looked. She became alert instantly, smiling at me again.

"All good Merlin, just I thought hunting trips and camping would be a little more fun than this." She replied, looking into the blazing fire.

"You wanna have some fun?" I asked her. She nodded slightly at me, and I smirked. "How about a game?" I asked, "Gwaine usually suggests some good ones."

"You're sure everyone will play?" She asked, looking sceptical.

"Sure they will," I replied, nodding excitedly, "We've never played with Gwen before either, so it may prove very entertaining." I grinned at her.

"Sounds like an excellent idea Merlin!" She beamed excitedly at me.

Eleanor's POV;

Merlin scrambled to his feet, pacing toward Arthur. "Arthuuuuur!" He whined, instantly grabbing everyone's attention. Arthur looked at him stunned. "Arthur, Eleanor and I are bored, we want to play a game," Merlin said. Everyone looked pretty excited at that. Arthur smiled, getting up and moving closer to the camp fire. The knights followed until we were all sitting in a circle. Merlin was on my left, Leon on my right. Percival was on Leon's other side, Gwaine next to him, and then finally Arthur and Guinevere.

"What game?" Gwaine asked excitedly, watching Merlin.

Merlin grinned, "Truth or Dare," he said cheekily, watching the knights all giving him impressed looks.

"Really?" Said Arthur, sounding a little put out, "I don't like that one." He said.

Merlin grinned, "That's because you always lose," he said, "besides, we've never played with girls before sire, this will be interesting."

Arthur reluctantly nodded, and Gwaine spoke. "Alright, Truth or dare Elea-,"

"Gwaine, What are you doing?" Merlin asked, raising an eyebrow at him.

"I always start," Gwaine said, a little surprised Merlin had interrupted him.

"That's because you always suggest it," Merlin said back, "I suggested it, I get to go first."

Gwaine nodded and fell silent. Merlin beamed at Arthur next. "Truth or dare sire?" He asked.

"Truth," The King said without hesitation.

Merlin grinned, "If you could make someone else here your child, who would it be?" He asked.

"Percival." Came the reply, as quick as the first time.

"Why me?" Percival asked, straightening up and frowning.

Arthur was blunt with his answer. "Gwen's my wife, so she's out. Merlin would have to be my daughter, because he's too sensitive to be my son. Gwaine, explanatory. Leon as a child was a menace, especially in the armoury, and I don't want a daughter as my first born, so that rules out Eleanor too." He answered.
