Let's play (reincarnated) (Past R27 khr) (Merlin bbc Merthur)

1.4 The dragon's call

His mind was constantly about what Gaius explained to him. And it bugged him that much that he really was frustrated. Was there nothing he could do? Nothing he could do for this poor dragon? He pushed his thought away for now as he was almost there. His HI started to prick again as soon as he was at the door and entering. His eyes narrowed at this; knowing that whatever was in there meant nothing but trouble. But he still entered, as he had a job to do.

'I wonder why it's reaction now...'

A sigh escaped as he nursed his headache which came with this. Merlin walked up to a table, and the room was creepy. Why he wasn't sure; but it just felt straight up eerie to him. So much that it gave him goosebumps. He put the bottle down at the table and when looking down -for a split of a moment his eyes widen- but they went back. This was a voodoo doll out of straw and he picked it up, just to feel his HI warning him more by now.

'That means nothing good. I better warn Gaius about this...'

Merlin thought as he put that back down. There was as well the fact that he heard some weird noises. This just made him more creeped out. The next thing he noticed was blueish yet brownish cloth. As he pushed the cloth away; a book was seen under it.

'Let's see what is in this book, shall we...'

Merlin picked the book up and he knew he shouldn't do this, but the curiosity and as well need to know what was in there, was too big. His HI told him to hurry as someone would soon enter. That was why he was turning the book around and finding a way to open this damn thing. But he hadn't found a way, and had not much time left; which was why he ended up putting it back down and the cloth back at where it was before.

It was precisely then that clicking sounds were heard. And when he turned around he saw a female. Long dark brown hair, and slight dark brownish eye color as well. His intuition hit him hard now and warned him that this person was not the one she was telling she was.

"What are you doing in here?"

Tone said in cautious, almost sounded like she was nervous.

"I brought something which Gaius told me to bring. I apologize deeply for entering without your knowledge."

Merlin took the small bottle and his eyes glanced at something for a moment. This was making him feel unnerved, but he wasn't showing it. This female was deceiving with looks and he guessed this was the cause of magic. A friendly smile was on his lips as he put it in her hands.

"I have to get back now, milady."

With this he bowed slightly and rushing outside. This was bad and he knew that now Arthur would be in danger. Even when this person was an asshole; wasn't meaning that he would just stand still.

---

Merlin was now walking back and he guess what? He met the prat again, yay. Note the sarcasm right now.

"How is it to walk on your knees?"

His eyes narrowed now as he turned around. Right now, his mood was bad and he couldn't and wouldn't had the patience to deal with an self centered prat.

"How was it to be on the ground like a commoner?"

He sassily replied back with as narrowing his eyes.

"Wow, you had a comback, how nice."

The tone was clearly said in a mocking tone and he hummed first before replying.

"Thank you your pratness, but seriously you shouldn't treat people like dirt. Think it like this? How would you feel when people would treat you like this?"

Arthur opened his mouth but closing it again, as a thoughtful expression was seen on his.

"I- maybe you are a bit right. I wonder how did a commoner like you learn how to move like this. Surely not by self teaching."

He let out a sigh, at least he isn't thinking about his words. Better then nothing...

"My mentor. He was a good man who teached me. I had to learn how to fight for my mother."

His tone this time wasn't just sorrowful but as well full of pride. Even when Reborn was sometimes a bit harsh, but he was harsh to teach him. Without him he wouldn't have been the boss he had been in his past life.

"Ah I see. You have gained a bit of my respect. Not many had managed to do this- even when it was a luck hit-, but you still managed to do this. And no one so far had stood up and told me his opinion. You have balls."

Eyes staring at Arthur with surprise, as well mouth closing and opening again. There was just nothing he could get out. This was unexpected and it seemed that Arthur was different than his father Uther. Maybe there was a chance for the future in Camelot.
