More Merlin Crossover 2

Takes place at a dinner after Jane foiled an attempted assassination. They wound up talking about how often it happens in Camelot and poisonings and such.

“Wha- Merlin! Do you mean to tell me-” “That I check all your meals for poison before they get to you? Yes. That’s part of my job.” “It most certainly is not!” “Is so. If there isn’t a personal manservant then that duty falls to the court fool but we can’t have you checking your own food now can we?” Gwendylin gasped and Merlin winced, sure that his accidental slip of the tongue in front of foreign royalty would impede Arthur’s alliance negotiations somehow. But no one from Kippernium was looking at him. They were looking at the bell studded boy playing his lute in the corner for ambiance music. Sensing their eyes he looked up and paused. Beaming he said, “I am proud to report that no one has ever dared try to harm our most beloved King and Queen, nor our precious Prince and Princess.”

Of course Pepper would never but the table is set before the royal family enters and anything could happen to it then.

Also, Jane is so put out about how easy it was to catch the assassin. In her words he was, "Utterly incompetent." The guy was claiming to be a new servant and her father is the steward for crying out loud. She walked away from the whole thing with nothing more than a small cut on her cheek. What kind of scar story would that make for? I hit an assassin over the head with a wall sconce and got this scar in the process. Whole thing took like, forty seconds. No grand battle. Just a dumb intruder. Never mind that Jane was actually super impressive and stopped a well known professional ASSASSIN by herself in under a minute.
