a thankless job

[regularlyaccused]

I appreciate the break from Arthur. No, really, pompous man like himself could use a moment of solitude to deflate the ego... But, and yes, there is always a 'but' mundane, you know the man's helpless without me. If he isn't ordering me to shine his armor, muck out his stalls, and clean his room -- both of them dangerously similar, thank you -- he's off pummeling things with a sword!

Things that pummel back.

I know he's... reluctant to express matters of appreciation. Of the heart even-- He's rather dense in fact, but he's not bad. So, figure out what you are planning on doing soon so my break is not a long one.

Have a Cu Chulainn from a different canon?

Arthur...as in King Arthur? Because if he is, then yeah, he's a pompous ass.

[This guy should know. He's seen enough examples of Arthur's behavior from his own canon.]

...But that is the duty of a King. You should be more grateful for his generous protection.

If you're that worried about having a break, Merlin, I have plenty for you to do.

...Such behavior is unbecoming of a King.

[She nearly drops her jaw at this description. It sounds like her brother Kay.

Why hasn't the Merlin in her game told her the details?]

This is hardly a suitable way to speak of your king, Merlin.
