Summary:
"You... got me an egg for Christmas."
Merlin stares down at the sculpture in his arms, unsure of what to think. To be fair to Arthur, it is beautiful, made of pure white stone carved in the shape of scales, decorated with thin, golden lines.
"It's a decoration," Arthur says, oddly defensive.
"An egg," Merlin returns, because this is absolutely perfect. He's had plenty of reasons to tease Arthur over the years—especially when it comes to Christmas gifts, because Arthur is horrible at giving good presents—but this one might just take the top.
