"I was thinking, sire, you might give me today off."
It's not the response to where is my breakfast? Arthur's looking for. "Why?"
"Well, it's one year to the day I saved your life," proudly.
Arthur is uncomprehending. "Oh. You mean the day my father made you my manservant?"
Merlin opens his mouth, then pauses. "If you prefer that angle. I just thought... to celebrate --"
"Merlin." Merlin looks up too quickly, ever a creature of hope. "Why on earth would I celebrate getting stuck with the worst servant in all of Camelot?"'
"No reason. I'll get your breakfast, then."
