For Your Entertainment

The circus comes into town in the late afternoon. It's a quiet caravan, but the whispers start immediately. It's not a regular circus. This one - this is the Camelot circus. One of the most esteemed traveling acts in the country, and not for the faint of heart. This one has a flaming sword eater and a terrifying magician.

A few brave people try to peek at the preparations, but once the big tent is up, all that can really be seen are food stands being set up, and a few podiums for acts unknown. Everything else is hidden from view. You want to see? Come buy a ticket.

"Kept me on this long, didn't he?" Merlin jokes.

Arthur laughs. "Yes, I'm lucky that I managed to snatch you away from him for now."

"For now," Merlin repeats softly, running his thumb over Arthur's cheek.

Arthur is well aware that Merlin will leave again once spring comes but he refuses to think about that just yet. He kisses Merlin's forehead and takes a step back again. "I have several letters to write. Feel free to stay here for as long as you like."

"Thank you." Merlin smiles. "I'll see you later tonight?"

[royalpratness]

"If you want." Arthur winks at him and turns to leave.

Merlin blushes and turns back to the bookshelves.
