It had been a week since certain... events. Arthur's position had been reinstated, and he had very, very subtly informed his father that he really did not want to know any of the details about his marriage bed.

Ahem.

(It had been harder than he'd anticipated to keep a straight face, which was probably relief.)

Now, King Uther had ordained a feast in Arthur's honour, to celebrate the return of his titles. The servants in the castle preferred to refer to it as the 'Thank-God-I-Am-No-Longer-Married-To-A-Troll feast', though none of them would be caught calling it such out loud. Perish the thought.

There was plenty of wine, there was plenty of food, and as the night went on, the nobles loosened up -- which meant the servants got to dip into their fair share of drink, too.

It was a good night.

[[ for they who are here! ]]

"And then Arthur will be all sad and we can't always go swimming," he informed her solemnly. Then, after a moment, "We didn't really swim."

Katchoo didn't use the high-pitched ditz voice this time, but she let her eyes go wide the same way. "You didn't?"

"Doof." Katchoo flailed an arm vaguely at him, with the half-formed intention of poking at his nose. "Kinda like me and Francine didn't actually go fishing?"

OMG, KATCHOO. OMG.

"...you didn't?"

DON'T LOOK SO SHOCKED, MERLIN.

"Not," Katchoo replied, a smile twitching around the corners of her mouth, "unless that's what they're callin' it these days."

"Oh." Merlin blinked a few time. "I don't polish Arthur's armor like I told you. We just have sex."

A beat.

"A lot."

He sniggered, holding onto his cider tightly. "It's nice."

"So I've heard," Katchoo told him pointedly -- though possibly not pointedly enough, given the cider. "But somethin's gettin' polished, all right, innit?"

Totally was! "My knob!"

...yeah, thank you, Merlin.

Excuse Katchoo one moment, won't you, Merlin? Because --

"Ahahahahaha. AHAHAHAHAHA OH GEEZ, HA . . ."

This could continue for a minute or so, quite possibly.

"It's true," Merlin replied sulkily. "Arthur likes it."

"Oh, I bet." Katchoo leaned over to nudge him lightly with an elbow. "Entire herds of cows ain't got nothin' on the kind of eyes he makes at you sometimes."

"Oh, Merlin, Merlin, Merlin. Don't tell anyone I said this?" Katchoo leaned in, exaggeratedly conspiratorial. "It's kinda frikkin' disgustingly cute. You two, I swear."

"Ohgod, you don't think the king noticed, do you?"

"Nah." The last couple of weeks, at least, Katchoo was fairly sure he wouldn't have. What with the troll-besottedness and all. "I don't think Arthur lets most people see him doing it."

"Good, he'd have me hung for buggering the prince," Merlin whispered.

. . . Katchoo couldn't even blame the cider for her sudden impulse to reach out and hug him, dammit.

"Over my dead frikkin' body he will," she hissed through her teeth, even though she had no goddamned clue how she'd hold up that bargain.

"You're the bessst," Merlin replied, clinging to her and the drinks. "You an' Francine are so wonderful. I'm so glad you two are lesssbians."

Thank god he was kind of on the skinny side, since Katchoo felt like she was already in danger of toppling over.


"Aww," she said, her usual reflexive reply of I'm not a lesbian, I just don't like men luckily very far from her mind right now. She reached up to pat him on the shoulder. "I'm . . . glad you're glad."

"No sausage," Merlin informed her hair blearily.

Katchoo snickered, the sound a little muffled by the clinging. "Nah. Leave that to you guys."
