Today's plan, go out into the garden and pick peppermint and chinese chives.

Some of the peppermint I'm going to dry and make tea of, the rest I will freeze. The chives I'm going to freeze.

Merlin

Merlin: I've got to say, that was a good quest. Did you meet that man on the bridge? And those wyverns there were really scary. Oh and that door to the throne room, that was so close!

Arthur: You do talk some nonsense sometimes Merlin. I mean what on Earth would you even know about it? It's not like you were there.

Merlin: Course I was.

Arthur: You were not there, you have not seen me for days. You took a little trip to...pick herbs or whatever it is you do in your spare time.

Merlin: Ah, of course. If your father finds out you weren't alone...

Arthur: Yes Merlin. So just keep your mouth shut.

Merlin: Absolutely Sire. I'd do anything you say for a price.

Arthur: What kind of price?

Merlin: A day off.

Arthur: I think you've had too many of those herbs you've been picking.
