Why this must be read: 1. Because this is the author's summary: "Merlin was born. Later he met Arthur. And then some things happened, and then there were cakes!" 2. Because Merlin can be a bit of an idiot and Arthur really isn't one, and it's just so right that this is how Arthur would choose to say that "yes, I know about the magic, you moron, and it's okay." 3. Because sometimes a stick is just a stick ... and sometimes it's the perfect gift.
"Thank you, Arthur," he said, looking everywhere but into Arthur's eyes. "It's a very nice... stick. I can't wait to write to my mother about it."
Arthur let out a huff of breath and stared at the ceiling, a pained and suffering look on his face.
"I mean it! It's the finest stick I've ever owned!" Merlin cast about desperately for something appropriately grateful and servile to say; finding nothing, he slouched out of attention and grinned. "For such a lowly servant as myself, to be graced with any gift from the Crown Prince of Camelot is truly an honor. Henceforth I will celebrate the anniversary of Stick Day rather than my birthing day."
"I honestly don't understand why lightning doesn't strike you dead where you stand when you prattle on like that."
