MERLIN PUSHED ONE MORE BOUT OF ENERGY INTO THE BUSHES BEFORE HE STOOD. he wiped his hands off on his pants, offering a smile to the other. ❝ Please, just Merlin. I see my reputation or name has proceeded me. ❞ It didn’t bother him when people just knew his name. In Camelot it would’ve been cause of worry, especially when he was supposed to be keeping a low profile. But here, he was one of the few doctors working in memory recovery and he spent much time around town.
❝ I’M NOT SURE IF IT’S BRAVE OR STUPID TO NOT FEEL FRIGHTENED. perhaps a bit of both. My - my old friend was the same way often. He never did listen to my warnings. ❞ It still ached to think about Arthur, but with Gwen it was getting better. Even now, his words were laddened with sorrow, but something closer to nostalgia. ❝ Oh me? I’m just checking on some of the plants. Most of them can flourish on their own, but I like swinging by and making sure they’re doing okay. Some of the animals as well. ❞

Studying the bushes, Sam ran over the possible reasoning for the other’s interest in them, but the thought was dispelled when Merlin spoke. “Oh, yes, just a bit mis- Merlin. I may be newer round these parts, but I chat with customers quite often.” This was true enough. There was much you could find out by being kind and striking up the odd conversation; he had learned that early into his old job as mayor in the Shire.
Chuckling at the comment, Samwise shook his head a bit, “I used to be friends with a few people like that, myself.” Much more than friends with one of them, but Sam left that bit out. Thinking of Frodo made him incredibly homesick, and he didn’t feel like being questioned about it.
“That's quite nice of you. I like checking out the greenery as well. I’ll come out every so often to check on things, and familiarize myself with the native species, so I can– sorry. I tend to get a bit swept up in that sort of talk. It's my thing, as some would say.” He cleared his throat, mind going back to the previous comment, “Should I be frightened of that Grey Mare? I didn’t think it did anything too nasty, but it's easy to be mistaken in unfamiliar places.”

MERLIN WASN’T SCARED OF THE MARI LWYD. he’d been around since the story of the creature first started popping up and while some people had bad interactions with the creature it was far from the most dangerous thing he’d met. He’d met a questing beast before! And saved a unicorn! Which was why he didn’t avoid his usual walks around the forest, nurturing plants and animals through the winter. The little squirrel he’d saved once from being snatched by a hawk was burrowed with their little squirrel family, content and warm. The tree he’d healed from a bad burn was thriving. And currently he was checking in on the holly bushes he’d helped bring to the flourishing life they were in.
HE WAS ALSO TAKING A FEW LEAVES AND BERRIES (with permission of course) when he felt someone walking up on him. Well, the forest felt it. He turned towards the man, offering a smile. ❝ I see I’m not the only one not worried about the Grey Mare. ❞

Sam Gamgee was a man of routine, and no whispers, rumors, or tales were about to throw it off. He had been through... far too much to let small things like that spook him. He would believe such things when he found any evidence of it, or heard any first hand accounts. But, for now, he would continue his walks in the forest. These woods reminded him a little of the Old Forest (except there were no malicious sentient trees here... he hoped so, anyway).
When he came across another figure in the forest, he almost left well enough alone, but then the person spoke, and Sam was drawn in. He flashed a smile back. “Takes a lot to frighten me these days, mister... Merlin, isn't it? What brings you this deep in the forest?”
