[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?

[sixthanimorph]

[dryly] The things you learn about some people.

[unflinchable]

Because he has magic and magic is evil.

[unflinchable]

I'd rather have not known.

[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]

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

[unflinchable]

Because everyone I have come across who uses magic has been trying to harm either myself or my kingdom.

[even if he knows that not all magic is evil, it's what you do with it that counts, just like a sword, but magic being evil has been pounded into him since birth...]

[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.

[sixthanimorph]

You'll get over it. Everybody lies to everybody all the time. It's the way the world works.

You mean you don't have any secrets you'll admit to.

[eyesasblind]

The magic-users you have met have opposed you. Why does that mean that magic itself is evil?

[unflinchable]

There's a difference between lying about where he has been and the fact he's a sorcerer. One cannot be so forgiving of liars, I do npt know who to trust anymore.

[sixthanimorph]

Alright, let me get this straight. Your good friend of four years turns out to be a sorceror who has been using his powers to save your life... and you're mad about this?

[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...]

[unflinchable]

Magic is illegal and evil.

[unflinchable]

It's a corrupting power, I've seen the effects it has on people.

[sixthanimorph]

And he used it to save your life. Was he supposed to just stand back and let you die?

[dragonspeak]

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

And...? What are you really thinking?

[eyesasblind]

I do not know how to say it more plainly. You are incorrect.

[unflinchable]

I know that, okay. Power can corrupt no matter the source, magic or sword. But he lied to me.

[burnmythoughts]

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

[unflinchable]

i don't need saving.

[eyesasblind]

If you believe that magic is evil regardless of its user, why would he not have lied?

[ Lucia's people skills leave much to be desired. ]
