"Brilliant."

Arthur swiped a hoodie from his closet and chucked it over his head, tossing up the hood and grabbing his keys. He was not a fool, nor was he in the mood to fight off unwanted attention when the entire world seemed prepared to break bones and light cars on fire. He knew how to keep a low profile when it was needed and he kept close to the buildings as he walked at a saunter down the curb, kicking a rock ahead of him and keeping his head down.

He wasn't stupid.

He made it to the police station unscathed and prepared to deal with uncooperative officers with as much brusque politeness as he could muster. By the time they got it sorted that Arthur didn't want to create trouble, and was simply here to pay a fine and take his friend home, tempers had flared and he was getting very shirty looks.

Pleasant.

"Where is he?" he finally snapped, giving up on being polite for the sake of getting this done.

And if he was roughly shoved as he was led back to the cells, he wasn't about to point it out or fight back.

"You're an idiot," he greeted Merlin as the woman who had led him here fiddled with her keyring.

	"He's...tiny," Arthur settled on, but that didn't mean Arthur couldn't spot its worth. Dragon's were intimidating on their own merit, one that was small and could easily sneak up on a potential enemy made him even more valuable. Of course that meant Merlin would treat it as a small house pet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I could make a bigger one, but I think it would be harder to feed and bring to life. The first time I tried it took me all night to get one of those stupid dog statues to come to life." Merlin glanced up, pleased that the apartments were in sight without any life threatening altercations taking place along the way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Having the apartments in sight was more than a relief to Arthur. He hated the feeling of eyes on him as he moved, as if he were some prey in a larger hunt. "If you're right, even at this size it can do considerable damage." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Relax, Arthur. I'm not going to let them jump you." It was almost funny seeing Arthur so uneasy. They had faced all sorts of insane things, and Arthur was afraid of a few angry locals. It's not even the worst thing to happen in Colligo. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Arthur rolled his eyes and yanked hard on Merlin's ear. He wasn't concerned so much with the locals as Guinevere's reaction should he come home with another black eye or worse. He'd been in plenty of fights before. Those were hardly the problem. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Ow! Hey!" Merlin smacked his hand away and rubbed his ear. "I'll forgive that since you bailed me out but - ow. I'll remind you, I have a dragon that loves me in my jacket." He motioned for Arthur to follow when he pushed open the door to his room.

"Gwen can look at my eye later. Here, hold Aedan for a little bit. I need to change." He said, trying to gently foist the dragon into Arthur's arms so that it didn't wake up.
