This weekend just hadn't been very fun for either of them. Merlin had been very happy to see Gwaine, of course, and then there had been Cathal, which was more amusing than creepy and just plain weird now, but Nimueh of all people wasn't someone he would have expected to show up. And then Morgana...

It had been a mess, so this wasn't only for Charlie; he needed it too, and spending time with Charlie was sure to help. And he did always like horses.

Basically, this was bound to be pretty amazing, if all went well.

That was why he practically jogged over to the door of Charlie's apartment and, as usual, opened it without knocking. "Hello!"
