[unflinchable]

Merlin has magic and you expect me to just accept the fact he's been lying to me? I don't care even if he has saved me life, he lied to me and is a potential danger.

[even if he doesn't really believe the danger part, it is only Merlin after all]

Comments

[eyesasblind]

Why is he a danger?

[unflinchable]

Because he has magic and magic is evil.

[eyesasblind]

Your most basic assumption is incorrect.

[unflinchable]

Excuse me? And what would you know about the magic of my land?

[eyesasblind]

I know that there is nothing evil about magic. Why would you think such a thing?

[sixthanimorph]

[dryly] The things you learn about some people.

[unflinchable]

I'd rather have not known.

[sixthanimorph]

Don't be too hard on him. I'm sure there's things he'd rather not know about you.

[unflinchable]

Don't be hard on the person I've trusted and who has lied to me for four years?

I have no such secrets.

[dragonspeak]

[Ohhhh dear.]

Maybe you ought to give the--er...other me a chance to explain.

[unflinchable]

[It was a heart breaking experience]

I gave him a chance to explain, I am not so cruel.

[meaning multiple things, he's not Uther and wouldn't kill Merlin on the spot and, well, it's Merlin... how could he kill him...]

[dragonspeak]

[He can imagine. It usually is for these kinds of talks.]

And...? What are you really thinking?

[unflinchable]

I'm thinking that I cannot believe he lied to me. Perhaps magic is evil but... But Merlin is not.

[burnmythoughts]

You think maybe that's why he lied to you?

[unflinchable]

[he snaps, he's tired of explaining]

I'm more upset he lured than the fact he has magic.

[burnmythoughts]

He probably lies every day to survive. It's not fun. Especially when it's your friends, or your family.

But it's what you do, if your life is on the line - or theirs.

[unflinchable]

Yes, he does. Magic is illegal in Camelot but I wou.ldn't have harmed him

[terraformagica]

Is this Merlin your friend?

[ because this is very important ]

[unflinchable]

He is my servant. [paaauuuse] And my closest friend.

[terraformagica]

[ Amalia smiles; it sounds a lot like how she used to think about Evangelyne, before they were close. ]

Which would you rather have him as, if you had to pick? Your servant or your friend?

[unflinchable]

My friend, of course, he is a horrible servant. But I am having a difficult time trusting him now.

[unflinchable]

[oh hello dog, are you here to comfort Arthur?]

[emax_guarddog]

[Maybe? Depends on how you react to him. Not normal dog is very not normal. But he sits and tilts his head.]

[unflinchable]

[Well Arthur will just reach over and scratch his head]

Hello, where did you come from?
