Clotpoll,

Making me wear that stupid feathered hat wasn't your finest hour. I'm going to destroy it first chance I get.

So you did save my life. As a reward, I thought I'd just tear it to shreds, stuff it down a midden heap and let the pigs at it put the hat away someplace where no one will ever find it safe.

When you smiled at me, punching me in the shoulder, looking as if you wanted to give me a hug, well I wanted to hug you back, tell you how much I love you and could we do something fantastic like getting naked, rolling around in your bed and finding out just how many times we could have filthy, incredible sex before I wore you out I thought we were at least friends.

But then you ordered me to wear that monstrosity again just to prove that you have no heart. You big glumpy bone-idled toad. As if I'd ever put something so ridiculous on my head again.

You wear it if you love it so much. It would be a good look on you.

Ever so much smarter than a fatheaded prince with entitlement issues,

Merlin
