Summer just dropped her face into her hands. \u201cGod help us all. Honestly, I just wanted it away from our lands before it did something like burn our crops to the ground or kidnap a virgin or something. Now I don\u2019t even know how I\u2019m going to get back, much less what to do about the dragon, if it \/was\/ a dragon.\u201d She forced herself to take a deep breath. \u201cOkay. Okay. There\u2019s nothing else I can do about it right now.\u201d Her tone was practical. \u201cMay I ask your help in finding a place to stay, maybe some more clothing, food? I don\u2019t want to impose on you any more than I can help.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Merlin thought for a moment.\u00a0I\u2019d be willing to let you stay here, but I\u2019d have to run it by Gaius first. If that doesn\u2019t work out, though, it might not be too late for me to rent you a room at the inn nearby.\u00a0<\/em>The inn would be a bit expensive, but he had been putting some of his pay aside for emergencies. In his eyes, this counted as an\u00a0emergency. He hesitated for a moment before offering,\u00a0I also might be able to help you with your dragon if you\u2019re willing to let me try.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s terribly sweet of you! All of it!\u201d Impulsively she kissed Merlin on the cheek. \u201cYou, sir, are an amazing person. Is there anything I can do to help you out in exchange? I know some healing \u2026\u201d Summer tried to get up, but that turned out to be a mistake. Most of the muscles in her body screamed in protest, and a throbbing ache started in her head. \u201cOr not,\u201d she finished, falling back. \u201cSorry.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

An embarrassed blush spread across Merlin\u2019s cheeks, and he wished that he didn\u2019t have such fair skin.\u00a0If you want to help, then please just rest for now. And you have nothing to apologize for.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Summer’s tone went wry. “It doesn’t look like I have any choice in the matter.” One hand rubbed at her forehead. An awkward silence fell. “Um … do you think I could borrow a book? Something to read, just to pass some time? I don’t want to keep you from anything you need to be doing.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
