Merlin...

A call was heard. The call sounded like it was in his mind and that was creeping him out.

Merlin...

Again his name was called and this was strange and he felt confused. There was unsureness felt as well. Why was someone calling him and how had this person called him through his mind? 

So that his eyes snapped open. Head looking around, but there was no one. Maybe it was his imagination. He shrugged it off and changing into his clothes again and stretching himself.

'A new day, a new start. Please lady luck just this once give me a good day.'

He thought as he walked out of his room and in the room he was yesterday.

"I got you water, you didn't wash last night."

The mouth shaped at this in an oh as the realization hit him. He was that busy with his grim thought that he hadn't realized that he hadn't cleaned himself.

"I'm sorry."

A sheepish undertone was heard in his voice and he was sure that he had as well the same expression.

"Help yourself with breakfast."

Merlin sat down on the table and was a bit skeptical, as this wasn't really looking good. At least his mother was a decent cook. His head down as looking at it and playing a bit with it. Was that a really good idea? His thoughts were disrupted when he saw Gaius push a bucket from the table. So in the heat of the moment, he used magic again and stared at shock at the bucket and then back at Gaius. The same when with the male. The male had rather wide eyes, mouth agape and looked all in all shocked. His expression wasn't better. Both stared now at the bucket which was frozen.

But as soon as it froze, it ended up back down on the ground. This was something that he couldn't control and god was he now worried what Gaius would do. The male could tell Uther. Which would mean that he would have to be on the run? That being said he felt the color drain from his face at his thoughts.

"How did you do that? Did you enchant a spell in your mind?"

Good Question he wished he could answer, but he couldn't.

"I don't know any spells."

Gaius looked at him with an expression that was pure puzzlement. And he wasn't better as this occasionally happened.

"What did you do then? There must be something."

He shrugged as had no clue how he does this and it was sometimes really creeping him out. He knew that it was magic and knew that he shouldn't use it. But he couldn't like it's instinctive.

"It just happens."

Gaius looked away now as a thoughtful yet still, the same confusion was shown. He wasn't even sure how to react nor was he sure what would now happen. So for three people knew, one was his mother, then someone else and now Gaius. That could just mean trouble, and once again he cursed Lady Luck for not helping him out. So with this in mind he started to get a broom and cleaning the floor.

"We better keep you out of trouble."

At this, he snorted and chuckled. That won't be possible, because wherever he went, trouble is for sure assured.

"Uh, I try to, but in the end, I end up in trouble. You will see soon enough."

It was said under his breath, in a grumbling tone, as lady luck just hates him.

"What did you say? I couldn't hear you that well and you can help me until I have found work for you."

He let out a sigh and stopping cleaning the floor. This wasn't going to fend well and he knew it. Never had he one day without some small trouble. Either he ended up breaking something, or tripping or simply ticking someone off. The normal life of Tsunayoshi- or now Merlin.

"Nothing and alright."

Gaius squinted his eyes and looked at him. He could tell that the male wasn't believing him too much, but that had just to do with the experience he had living many lives. That was why he knew how to put on a facade. Gaius started to say two plant names which he had never heard of them. They were probably some potions. The said male as well explained that he should bring the two to lady Percyval adn to a male which was blind- named Olwen-, that male shouldn't drink it entirely. Merlin noted this in his mind, but knowing him he will probably forget this.
