She smiled brightly at him when it seemed he would join them. "Thank you!" She said, glad he seemed willing. "I will make sure to have Merlin's favorite food cooked, and have everything perfect. Just let me know what night you are able!" It was easy to see he had made her VERY happy with this. As for his other comment, "I did not mean you and I, I meant you and he. His shock over you sitting at a table with him, as his friend and not as his prince."
Guinevère gave a soft laugh and smiled at this reminder of how Merlin and he first 'crossed pathes'. "Yes, I do remember watching that. The first one you had with him. I was not close enough to hear everything, but I did see him stand up to you." She gave a soft laugh, "I remember thinking how very brave but very stupid he was to do it. Everyone talked about him for days afterwords."

Yes, he did see how happy she over his acceptance of her invitation, and that made him eliminate any doubt or hesitation he had in doing so. If he could provide any happiness to her, even for the smallest things, he would do so completely willingly. "A night of your choosing." He hoped not tonight. He had a feeling the King would want to dine with his not actually dead son. And Arthur wanted to spend time with his father . . . who was now back to normal. "You and Merlin choose a time, and I will do my best to come." While it was in his mind now, he could not promise for sometimes, unexpected circumstances changed his plans completely. All part of his duties that he could not ignore.
He knew that even with them all sitting there, Merlin would not drop formalities. Guinevère rarely called Arthur by his first name. It was a sign of respect, and while he wished it wasn't so, he also in a way expected it. He was accustomed to hearing it his entire life. For it to suddenly stop, would be strange. "As long as he doesn't get too comfortable and start ordering me around," Arthur joked. Well, half joked . . . not really. He was serious, even if he said it in a kidding manner.
Arthur didn't know that everyone had been talking about his boldness. Then again, he wasn't surprised. It was very rare for someone to have the audacity to stand up to him like that; it was what had caught his attention. "He was so confident . . . what a brave idiot. At first he did not know who I was, not that it made a difference when he did find out. He still insulted me." Calling him a prat. An ass. Arthur remembered how bad of a beating he had wanted to give him . . . and he did. With a broom in the end. "I couldn't let him get away with it too easily," he said, chuckling to himself as the memories crossed his mind.

"It might be easier if you tell us what night." She told him, "Merlin can get free because you would be free and I will tell Morgana I wish to thank Merlin. She will approve." She just had to make sure Morgana did not invite herself. She did not think she would, but if she did then Guinevère and Arthur would not be able to relax and be themselves. Merlin knew about them but Morgana did not.
"Poor Merlin," she smiled, "No one would have foreseen this coming. Going from someone you used to fight with in the streets, and though in the stocks to someone who, should fate had been kinder to, could have openly been your best friend." She looked up at him, "You even fired him once. When he tired to help you, I am glad to see you now left him help you."

Arthur was not sure what night. "Tomorrow night perhaps?" He would have to see if he could convince his father of a good excuse to leave the castle for a bit, especially around night time. It felt horrible. Having to sneak around so much. That, and he was not sure how awkward it would be sitting with Gwen and having Merlin there too. He already made comments about them, ones that Arthur threatened him to stop making. Would he perhaps be a bit more subtle if it was the three of them?
Yes, it was strange how things had worked out. Arthur never would have guessed that he would be so close to not just one servant, but two. "I just think that had I not met him that time, I would have been dead the next day, or times after that as well." From the woman who tried to kill the Prince with a dagger, to the poisoned chalice. Merlin had done a great deal for Arthur, and he was not ignorant of this. Even if he did give his servant a hard time. Ah yes. I do remember that. He humiliated me, or well, thats what I thought. Good thing I gave him a second chance," Arthur joked, knowing that in that case, he had not been the one to blame; he had been telling Arthur the truth.

"If you can be there, we can be there!" She spoke hopefully, gland he was going to try. She knew that he might not show up, and she told her self she would not be upset but she knew she would be. She would not show it, and would hide it from him when she saw him next but her hopes where up, and on the line.
She gave a soft laugh at her Merlin story, "Poor Merlin, he was trying to hard to help. He had yet to learn the rules for the nobles. He thought just because he spoke up people would believe him." She knew this was taking a turn int he conversation, "He knows how the class ranks work now." She said with less humor, and less humor still, "Yet he never stops trying to do the right thing."

Arthur hoped he could in fact be there. He still wasn't sure how he felt about Merlin being there with him and Gwen. The last time the three of them were together, they were awkwardly returning to Camelot from their rescue mission. It had not been the best of journeys. But he smiled and gave a short nod, hoping that he could keep his word and be there . . . if it was only to make her happy. "Yes he was rather arrogant about that. I still don't think he fully understands how things work, but he has time to learn since I don't have any plans to fire him . . . again."
He was indeed always trying to do the 'right thing', despite Arthur's constant protests. "He still doesn't always listen to me, but I suppose he has others best interests at heart." Arthur would shrug it off as if it was no big deal, but he knew it was. He had willingly sacrificed himself for Arthur on more than one occasion, and the Prince would do the same thing for him. Neither Arthur nor Merlin had to say it; but they both knew what one was willing to do for the other.
