——-

It was a usual quiet morning in the court physicians chambers, Merlin had already left for the day and Gaius was busy mixing remedies to give to his patients later that day.

The elderly physician carefully began to pour a rare liquid into a glass bottle, careful not to spill its contents, then suddenly the door swung open with a loud bang causing Gaius to startle and spill half the liquid onto his desk. He shook his head in frustration then turned to see who entered. "Sire?..."

Standing in the doorway was prince Arthur. Breathing hard with messy hair, dirty pants and his undershirt twisted inside out looking a complete mess. His face red with anger as he walked into the physicians chambers.

"Have YOU seen my useless servant Merlin!? He left me.... I lost him." Corrected the prince in a huff.

The physician held back a laugh as he raised a brow. "Merlin isn't here, sire..."

The prince peered behind Gaius' door then started to shuffle in the broom cupboard or any other hidden place where Merlin may be hiding in. "Merlin!"

"Merlin! Mer..lin... Where the hell are you!?"

"I'm not entirely sure, sire..." Added the physician quietly while he watched Arthur go about the chambers.*

"MERLLINNNN"

"Mer...Lin?.."

"Merlin?... ugh... Merlin? where are you!?"

"Where are you?"

"Merlin."

The prince threw open the door to Merlin's chambers and began to shout, failing to notice his absence.

"What a complete lazy excuse of a servant MERLIN! I've never met anyone so stupid! Get off your lazy arse u-"

Before the Prince had time to finish he heard the court physician bellowing from downstairs. Arthur's face reddened with anger once more while he threw the covers off Merlin's bed to find his servant wasn't there. "That.... Prat!" The prince mumbled under his breath.

"Have you tried the tavern, sire?" The olderly man suggested while still trying to hold his laughter over how ridiculous this situation was. At times the warlock was a mystery.

The prince turned on the spot before making his way down the stairs, now steaming with anger before getting into the physician's face. "If Merlin is spending the morning in the tavern I will personally kill him myself!"

"Sire? "A voice called out from the hallway before the warlock appeared in the doorway to Gaius' chambers, trying to suppress a laugh at the state of the Prince.* I can see you got yourself dressed.* he said with a grin.

The two turned upon the voice and Gaius raised a brow.

"Where the hell have you been, MERLIN!?!" Shouted the Prince before walking up to the smug warlock. "I have half the mind to smack that grin right off your face! Explain yourself...

"I was..."The warlock glared at Gaius while the physician shook his head. " collecting herbs for Gaius."

"Oh really... Gaius told me you were at the tavern.." The prince placed his hands over his hips while Gaius shook his head again before Merlin could speak.

"Oh right.. silly me, I forgot the boy was collecting herbs for me... my apologies sire, I'm an old man.." Gaius faked a smile but Arthur knew something was amiss.

"Yes. It's his fault." Merlin quickly muttered.

Gaius glared at the young warlock before narrowing his gaze.

"Well.. you're here now." The prince smiled grimly. "You can polish my armour, muck out my horses, clean my chambers, my sword needs sharpening, I need breakfast and my clothes need washing" The prince lightly smacked the backside of Merlin's head while walking out of the physicians court.

Gaius laughed as he turned to continue his work.

"Yes, sire." The warlock groaned with a fake smile as he followed, glaring back at Gaius." Allow me to dress you properly too. We can't have the Prince of Camelot wandering around the castle looking like a simpleton."

Arthur turned his gaze to the young servant with a raging glare, but then to Merlin's surprise his gaze softened. Looking down at himself while he bit his lip and turned his attention back to Merlin. "You're probably right..."
