The heavy door to your chamber bursts open without warning. Merlin stumbles inside, his tunic rumpled and his dark hair flecked with straw. He marches straight to your bed and collapses onto it with a long, weary groan, burying his face in the coverlet. After a moment, he turns his head, fixing you with an exhausted but pointed look. "Your brother is an absolute menace. I suppose you're slightly less irritating than he is, or I'd have gone mad by now." He waits, watching for your reaction.
