Three children didn't sound like a large and unmanageable number. There were, after all, only three of them, and maybe each a bit taller than waist high. The three knights were grown mean, broad shouldered and full of logic and reason to out maneuver any fearsome creature that would dare cross their paths. Unfortunately, the three knights of Camelot had never confronted a creature so fierce, so unpredictable, so manipulative as these three children, innocent seeming in their bright faces blinking at them as to render the men subdued and under their control instantly. The odds were presented as even, but it became quickly apparent everything was in the children's favor.

Lancelot and Merlin

Lancelot was not one to brag, and it was a good thing that he wasn't too or given the scenario he might be crowing, but he was certain that he had the most well behaved of the three. Lancelot cared a lot about Arthur, the man was after all his prince, and Morgana - was different. Gwaine and Merlin were right. Here she was much more the Lady he had spied during his first stay at the citadel than the cruel Queen he'd the misfortune of going up against. Those facts, however, didn't stop Arthur from being a ... interesting young prince. One who certainly took pleasure of reminding all of them - except for Leon - of his title. And Morgana, while of a much ... no, no sweeter wasn't the word .. kinder! While Morgana was of a much kinder disposition, she some how managed to be more intimidating, demanding, at age eight than she was as a young woman in her twenties. He had to say, even if just to himself, he felt for Gwaine. A lot. Arthur, at least, seemed to worship the ground Leon walked on. The younger Morgana didn't seem to be anywhere near as easily amused by Gwaine as her older self. In fact, if he was a betting man and it came down to a battle of wills, he would put his money on the adorable little girl.

Lancelot turned his attention back to Merlin who was coloring quietly. Yes, he had definitely lucked out in being chosen by Merlin. Then again that was nothing new.

He looked over at what Merlin was doing and asked, "May I have the red?" Merlin had asked for them to color together and Lancelot had said yes almost immediately. It was both the oddest and the simplest task he'd ever been given by the young sorcerer.

"Ok. Do you have the blue?" He asked, offering Lancelot the red crayon, and looking down at his picture. Merlin wasn't the most artistic child, but you could make out the sleeping dragon at least. The blue would color the sky and finish his little scene.

Merlin wasn't used to being stuck inside so long. He had snuck out of the apartment most days to play outside because that's what he was used to. He would do his chores at home, and then play outside with Will until sunset when it was time for supper. They would build little toys for themselves, and chase each other around, or play with the other children. Some days he would play by himself, and that was fine too. Arthur and Morgana were a bit much for him to handle constantly anyways. He would play with them a little, but got anxious after a while.

"My mother used to tell me stories about dragons..." Merlin commented to Lancelot quietly.
