"After everything you've been through, Merlin, I would have thought you'd have a little more care!" Gaius snaps, hard enough that Merlin can tell how upset he really is. "You have more magical power than anyone I've ever seen, but that won't protect you from your own stupidity."
It's true and deserved, but that doesn't help Merlin's already frayed nerves. "What did you want me to do? Let Arthur die? You know I'll never do that."
They argue for another few minutes, but Merlin doesn't take any of it in. He just wants to go see Arthur, whole and unhurt.
He heads to the door, flings it open -- and stops dead. There is Arthur, whole and unhurt, save for the way he has slumped down the wall to sit with his head in his hands.
Merlin takes two steps out into the corridor. Then he slides down the wall to sit next to Arthur, dizzy and sick with the knowledge that there is no possibility that Arthur didn't hear them.
