Hi there! Thanks for the welcome, very excited to be here. It's nice to meet you!
You realise, because of Magius' unholy resemblance to King Uther, Merlin will, at first, probably be somewhat frozen in a long standing fear of the King. Though, soon as he works out Magius isn't Uther and won't try and burn him at the stake for using his magic, he'll be more than happy to talk to someone else!
I'll be sure to catch you online when I see you! :D
