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.

"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.
