"Merlin," Arthur said, covering his eyes with one hand and gesturing out the window with the other, "would you care to explain to me why the topiary in the royal gardens is . . . doing that?"
"Shut up. Y'r majesty." Merlin mumbled, and Arthur went to drag him, yelping, out of bed - dragging half the royal bedding onto the floor in the process - and over to the window to take in the astonishingly inappropriate view of the topiary's actions outside.
Merlin's eyes widened just as he began to whine again, and he made a small strangled sound, hands landing on the windowledge as he stared outside. "I- I went drinking with Gawain last night, and uh . . . I remember him showing me something, and . . . singing? And. . ." He gestured weakly at the scene outside.
"Just fix it." Arthur said, frustrated - and already planning to have words with Gawain, who was well aware Merlin couldn't handle drinking, even far shy of the quantities the knights did it in.
