with all the charms of a woman you've kept a secret of your youth
He managed to crane his head around a wipe a bit of vegetable muck from his face with the tip of his finger, but he failed to make any more headway on the...had it been a rotten apple? No, it didn't smell like an apple, not even a rotten one. Suddenly, as the horrible thoughts flooded into Merlin's mind, he decided that he didn't quite want to know. Abruptly, he stopped straining to get the stuff off his pale-skinned face and resolved simply not to think about it.
It didn't work. He squirmed for a moment longer and only stopped himself from liking the...stuff off his face with his tongue. He must have looked rather ridiculous, trying to lick his own face while stuck in the stocks, but then again, his tongue had gotten him into his mess and perhaps it could get him out of it.
Yeah, um, no. His tongue wasn't capable of achieving positive results. Ever. With a whine, he heard approaching footsteps and he looked up to see a peasant girl, heavily laden with a basket of the finest...gods, it looked like vomit.
"Hi." Merlin, told her, cheerfully, as he braced himself for round two.

Gwen had left the castle and was heading home to make her father some lunch before going back to finish her chores for the day. She was in the market when she noticed everyone gathering around the stocks. That was when she saw who was there. She shook her head slowly but there was a smile there. The boy was lucky Arthur had not taken off his head!
She walked closer but waited until the small crowd ran out of things to though before moving closer to speak to him. She knew they would be back with more shortly. "Hello, I am Gwen. Short for Guinevère." She never liked her full name, she did not hate it but it sounded to formal for a servant girl. She thought about reaching over to wipe off his face but didn't want to see to forward, with someone she did not even know their name.

Merlin was expecting a couple of rotten eggs the forehead, but they never came. Squeezing his eyes shut, he heard the sound of footsteps approaching and he opened his eyes cautiously, wary to know what was in store for him.
Instead, there was only an attractive girl in front of him, holding out her hand. Apparently, his rabid fans had decided that they needed more ammo and had gone in search of it. Squinting up at her, Merlin craned his neck around so he could better look her in the eye.
His efforts resulted in his neck hurting even more than it should have.
"Gwen," He repeated, grasping her hand awkwardly with his own and wringing it horizontally. "I'm Merlin." He supplied, but then amended it as a thought struck him, "But most people just call me 'idiot'." He grinned, politely.

Gwen smiled and shook his hand what best she was able with him being bound. She knew that the stocks could be fun for some if in short spells. The king rarely made someone stay in there all day. Some kings, she heard, would put people in them for days and days. That was when they became evil things. "Oh no!" She said when he told her everyone called him idiot. "I saw what you did! It was very brave of you."
"Everyone thinks your a real hero." She told him, wanting to make sure he knew. He had stood up the the bully prince. She had been surprised and shocked anyone had dared. Let alone this man. "Though I am glad you walked away. You were going to beat him." She added on, knowing how Arthur practiced hours every day in order to beat trained knights, much less . . . . someone who wasn't.

Merlin raised his eyebrows and tilted his head to the side, surprised. No one had ever called him a hero before. They had called him a lot of other things: assbrain, fool, numskull, numpty and of course, idiot, being primary among them. But hero? All he had done was sass Arthur, who threw him into the dungeons and then compromised his release by putting him in the stocks to have rotten producce pelted at him.
"A hero?" He repeated. Then, a slow grin spread across his face. He felt like Herkules, even though his bony arms were anything but bulging biceps. He squirmed happily, then murmured, smugly.
"I bet I could."

"You think?" Gwen asked in a disbelieving tone. She tried to keep her eyes from giving the boy a once over while he was trapped in the stocks. While he was cute, he was not overly manly. He had the height, but he lacked the psychical build to someone who would be able to handle them selves. He looked under-feed if anything. Gwen wondered if she could try to find him some food rather then watch others aim some at his head.
"Cause Arthur is one of these, rough-tough save the world type of guys and well . . . " Arthur was the rough-tough type of guy, and if you needed someone there to fight off danger then Arthur would be who you want. He was strong, smart in battle, and never lost. "You don't look like that." However he was NOT the one you wanted around when something embarrassing was happening, or his 'friends' were around. He seemed to like to show off his arrogance around them. Merlin, looked more like a normal peasant then a fighting fit knight.

"Ah." He agreed, simply.
Right, the muscles, or lack thereof. He knew, he knew, he was nothing without his magic. And seeing as no one would ever be able to see him wielding his magical powers, he was little better than a dorky teenage boy. Wait? Didn't he still qualify as such. Right. Guilty as tried.
"Yes, well, uh..."
He searched desperately for something that could gracefully get him out of this situation. But unfortunately for him, Merlin was Merlin and nothing about him was graceful. He briefly contemplated the witty phrase of "I'm stronger than I look", but decided not to say it in the end. It just seemed rather...what was the word? Oh yes, smart. His mother's word came back to haunt him, not to betray his true mental powers, no matter how much it heard his pride.
"I'm in disguise." He said, careful to put sarcasm into every word.

When he said he was in disguise, Gwen gave a soft but bright laugh finding him refreshingly funny. It was not often she meet someone with her own level of good spirits and thought he might be one, if he could laugh this off. She saw the town folk coming back with a bucket of rotting fruit and she knew she had to get out of the way.
"If you'd like, once you've been free, you can find me in the castle kitchens. I can help you get all this out of your hair so you will smell like it all night." She however had to jump out of the way and hurry along before he could answer or she knew she would be hit as well. She was not about to join him in this. Him might be able to laugh it off but she would not enjoy a day in the stocks.
