[So. What do you do when you're tricked into believing you should hide your powers again, and pretend the idea of having magic is laughable? You say 'fuck it' and make a bit of a statement as to how much of a sorcerer you really are.

And this is precisely what Merlin is doing. He's taken over one of the huts deeper into the forest, set out a couple of tables outside of it, and carried about every book of magic he owns over there, along with notebooks and other things. Under the curious gaze of some of the dragons that lurk in the forests, the point is to gather there and talk about magic with others. Or practice it, given it's safer to dick around with it further from where they all usually live. Or argue endlessly about magic versus bending. He's not picky.

Merlin'll have let people know of it, so you'll know in advance if you're interested in coming over to this magical meeting of sorts. There's no need to have magic skills of your own to attend, either - maybe you're just curious about the subject, or you want to watch what they'll all get up to.]

[Or maybe you still have vivid memories of Merlin setting fire to the forests out of anger before, and you want to make sure he won't be getting new ideas. Either way.]

[[Magic club/society/pick a name for it meeting! Merlin is here, otherwise mingle as you'd like.]]

	[Ah-- er. Well.] No, not exactly. [How to be totally blase about this...] He-- [was] is my personal servant. It wasn't until recently that I learned of his magic. [TOTALLY NEUTRAL ABOUT THIS. THIS IS NOT STILL A SORE SPOT AFTER LITERAL YEARS.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Your servant? He... kept something like that from you? [That... she can't even imagine it. ~~And then her own sister ends up being able to switch faces and her brother is a warg and adopted brother most likely comes back from the dead.~~] You're very forgiving, Your Grace. [If something like that was kept from Joffrey... hah.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

In the end, I wonder if I really am. [After all, he created a kingdom and world in which his best friend felt he couldn't be honest to him about a fundamental and important part of himself and his entire being. And he failed so many other people like him, too.]

[Shakes his head] He might be my servant... but he's also my oldest friend. For a while, my only one. I couldn't ever hate him, it seems.

Trust me, My Lord... you are.

[Merlin still lives -- that is proof enough of that.]

To be lied to by someone you thought you could always trust... it hurts. But that he told you, in the end, and that you were able to look past it, not let that overshadow everything he's done for you [as he must have, as his servant, as someone who possesses such power]... he's very lucky, Your Grace, to have the friendship of someone as honourable as you.

But... you're lucky, too. He must be very loyal to you. [To stay as a servant, even here, in a place where you could be... anything.]

[Quiet for a long moment, considering that. Not about to protest more - not wanting to tread into painful subjects, for either of them, potentially. Everyone he's ever cared for has betrayed him, in the end, but for many of those people it didn't make him love them less... just made him feel he himself was a fool.]

I suppose you're right. [...] I've always thought myself so, to have such friends. It's what made Camelot great.

[Her words carry enough of an edge to betray that she, too, feels them -- she, too, trusted Cersei and Joffrey and they repaid that love and trust with her father's head.

But she isn't speaking of herself, now, and so she smiles a little, nods at him.]

I wish I could see your kingdom, My Lord. I'm sure it is just as great as you say... a place that is safe and just.

	[... The way to his kokoro is definitely by complementing his kingdom, yes.] [Quiet for a moment, and then smiles - a little nostalgic, but gentle] Thank you, Lady Sansa. I hope it can continue to be so for my people. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She would say as much, to anyone of high standing, something kind and gentle and flattering -- it would have been a necessity, in King's Landing. But here... here, she finds she means it; she does believe every good word of Camelot, wishes she could truly see it. Arthur would be a far more benevolent king than Joffrey.] I have every belief that it will. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm grateful for as much. I have no doubt that Camelot will continue to flourish. Guinevere will see to that, as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Guinevere... your queen? [She doesn't know the name, of course, but the context would imply as much. Either his queen or his son, the future king... but it doesn't really sound like a boy's name.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Nods a little, smiling - clearly adoring, but also with the clear hint of sadness. It's been too long since she last saw her...] Yes. My wife and my queen. [And she's the best and amazing and perf, the end] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	unprays 2016-06-12 07:27 pm UTC (link)
	... you must really love her. [If that expression is anything to go by. She sounds something between happy and surprised, over that fact; in Westeros, it is more common than not to marry not for love but for politics.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Smiles, slightly melancholy despite it all, but no hesitation when he answers] I do. With all my heart. (Reply to this) (Parent)
