Itâs been a while since the last person has left Merlin in the armoury tending to Arthurâs things ; and Merlinâs exhausted, but he takes it as it is  ââ  finding heâd rather polish armours and swords, than deal with everything else resting on his shoulders.

That would be wise if you went to sleep now, so you have strength tomorrow.  âÂ
