Summary
It was all too quick: an arrow jolting into Arthur’s back with a fleshy thud, Arthur crying out. Five more arrows in the air, one pointing to Arthur's heart. Merlin flung himself forward, threw his arms out, screamed his magic in a blaze of fire. The last arrows crackled into nothing. Archer after archer fell, thumping to the ground.
And Merlin had no time to shout, no time to gasp, no time to move back. Arthur was already spinning, his sword swooping up and slashing back down in one smooth movement. A perfect arc to target Merlin’s neck. The blinding white edge too large in Merlin's vision, too close. It snagged in his neckscarf, cut right through to his skin.
Time stopped.

Summary
And with those words, the last couple of days suddenly came crashing back to Arthur in a wave. Merlin’s weird speech, the attack on Merlin and Gaius outside Camelot, Arthur’s hunt to find the bandits, Merlin’s near death, and their late night conversation. It instantly made his head hurt.

Summary
But when he saw a young, blond boy enter with his breakfast tray that was most definitely not his manservant, Arthur felt himself go from calm to irate in a few second flat. Consequently, the first words out of his mouth were: “Where’s Merlin?” And they were perhaps a little harsher than he would have liked.
