Title: Peace
Rating: G
Character: Merlin
Summary: The castle is just too noisy.
Warnings: bit of angst
Word Count: 100
Prompt: 382, A Quiet Place

It was hard to find a bit of peace in the castle.  Audrey banged pots in the kitchens while she harangued the kitchen workers.  George had a habit of humming badly off-key as he ran a cloth over the brass candlesticks.  Lord Geoffrey cleared his throat as he watched over the library. The knights talked trash in the armory and on the practice field.

Merlin had formed a habit of escaping to find a quiet place in the stables, of all places, to await the return of his king and avoid all the ghosts he’d conjured up in his loneliness.
