This had the potential for absolute disaster. The poorly wrapped package was wedged awkwardly beneath Arthur's arm as he took out his keys to unlock his door. It was mere coincidence that he heard a familiar voice, grumbling, from the other end of the hall. Arthur paused, glancing down to confirm his initial thoughts. Merlin was trying to enter his own room, dropping things as fast as he was picking them up. Arthur knew this opportunity would unlikely come at a better time and strode down the hall, catching Merlin's keys as they fell through his fingers.

"You'd think you would learn to keep a better hold of these."

Merlin chuckled and shrugged. He knew it was all joking. After all, Arthur said himself he didn't like it when Merlin was quiet. "I didn't mean just food. I took care of more then that."

He decided not to list things off like making sure his clothes were clean, in tact, and ready for the weather, no holes in his shoes, sword and armor he arrived in still tended to just in case, cleaning up his room, and all sort of little things to make the place better or things easier for Arthur if he could. A lot of which he was (mostly) happy to do.

"Aside from that though. I mean, what have you been doing to keep busy?" Merlin did kind of worry. Arthur never seemed to adapt to all of this as well as he did. He wasn't as naturally curious and eager to try everything this place had to offer.

"I walk." Arthur hadn't intended the flippant tone his answer had taken, but there it was. Gwen worked. Merlin worked. Arthur walked. It wasn't as if he didn't wish to find employment of some sort, it was more that he found no need to do so. If a reason occurred, then he would. Simple as that.

"There's too much of this city that we know nothing about. It's better than staying indoors."
