“Hey hon.”
Merlin grimaced in sympathy. Yeah, a cold’s been going around the castle lately. Do you want me to see if Gaius has anything that could help?
“Not right now. I’m hoping that if I just drink a lot of water it will go away. How about you? Busy, then?”
I’m always a bit busier this time of year, but it’s not too bad so far, he shrugged. How have you been, besides getting sick?
“It’s not so bad, other than that. I’ve been thinking about making a trip home, but the cold weather crept up on me, and I don’t think I can make it there and back before the snowfalls.”
