           Merlin and I sat at the breakfast table in silence, the sound of fire crackling filling the silence.

"Help yourselves to breakfast," Gaius stated, placing two bowls of porridge in front of us.

"Thank you," I kindly said, Gaius nodded with a smile.

"You two can help me until I find some paid work for you to do," Gaius explained, walking over to a cabinet and pulling out a few vials, "Merlin...I want you to deliver these for me. Hollyhock and feverfew for Lady Percival. Nightwater for Sir Olwin. He's as blind as a weevil so warn him not to take it all at once."

"Of course," I said with a smile, accepting the list.

Yet, it did no good, so I made my way through, trying my hardest not to run into anyone. Once at the market, I began my search for herbs and plants, moving from one stand to another. Over time I found the things I was looking for. I quickly paid for the items and made my way back to Gaius's. Yet I was stopped by a loud commotion. Curious, I made my way over to the source. What I found didn't surprise me.
