Nimue watched the door, slightly annoyed. Mordred only had after school classes two days a week, which meant her time alone with Merlin was rather limited. She'd had plans after Merlin finished his work. Hopefully this wouldn't take long.
She stood up when she heard her name mentioned, walking over to it and placing a hand on Merlin's shoulder. "Friends of yours, darling?" she asked him.
Melora saw the panic enter Gaius' eyes. She'd felt the same thing when she and Stefan had to tell their parents. She wrapped an arm around Gaius' arm to anchor him, and held his hand. He had to do this.
"Hi, Merlin," Melora said brightly. "Remember we talked earlier today? Can we come in?" She had intended to let Gaius do all the talking, but he seemed to need some help.
