The Crown Princess - Monday [Ship/Princess Cays, Bahamas]

Early in the morning, the cruise director came over the loudspeaker announcing the port of the day and some on-boat activities of interest. Those paying attention would learn that from 9am until 5pm, the Crown Princess would be docked in the lovely Princess Cays, Bahamas where guests were welcome to participate in glass-bottom boat, snorkeling, or beach excursions for a portion of the day. Adults were encouraged toward the Sanctuary on the Sun Deck for a more private way to relax away from the teens.

"Actually," Arthur said, loosening his wrist a little while he could- it had been far too long since proper training, "I do remember you asking for it."

That just mean Merlin was going to get closer to where Arthur was and kick water at him in earnest.

This was a brilliant plan. Really.

Arthur stared at him.

His hair was now dripping wet and his shirt clung in incredibly uncomfortable ways. Staring was the five-second response required before he did anything else. "Merlin."

Merlin bit his lip to keep from laughing and... ran in the opposite direction. Which happened to be the water, but that was okay. He could safely live out there until Arthur calmed down.

In a year.

Arthur debated doing the proper thing that would involve keeping his upper lip stiff and all of that, but in the end, another reflex won out.

Which is to say that he sped after Merlin, doing his damnedest best to tackle the boy into the water. It seemed a good compromise for the lack of stocks.

And down Merlin went!

That, in retrospect, had not been a well thought out plan. But it certainly didn't stop Merlin from twisting and trying to break out from the tackle.

Arthur got up with a severe roll of his eyes.

Only to discover that his clothes were wet. "You just earned yourself another afternoon's work."

Merlin stayed in the water where he was, sitting down, but with it up to his shoulders. "Of course, Arthur."

He was still amused and working under the assumption that was a win for him.

Which was clearly wrong and utterly so.

"This shirt will need to be washed," he said, slogging back to the beach through the water. "And the trousers."

Laughing, Merlin hit the water to splash him again. "When we return to the boat," He promised.
bitchprince: (look out above?)

"And stop it with the water," Arthur said, "Or you're going head-first again, you lunatic."
