Lawl. Aravae is used to Merlin by now. She knows that what he needs is someone to love and someone who will love him despite all his flaws, and she has been waiting for that person. And now he has arrived, she's encouraging Merlin along but not forcing him. She knows that won't work.
...That should have been everything she is teaching Vesparr. What I gathered from the books was that the memories are passed down from their parents. It never went into details, that's just what I imagined he meant, so I assume they know a lot from them.
They are quite dim. Aw, thank you. I think I know them too well. When I plan things in my head, everyone's reactions and the dialogue comes really easily. I just know how they are wired up and how they will react to certain things. It's a little sad, actually.
Aravae is one of my favourite characters to write. She's intelligent and wise and she knows what Merlin wants - what he needs - but she also knows that forcing him to get it will send him running, so she's letting him try and figure it out for himself. This also doesn't work, but at least he knows she is on his side. And of course he has no idea what is going on in his head - he has never felt anything like this before. It is all very confusing for him.
The fact that Arthur has managed to get to him shows just how much Merlin needed someone to break the barriers down, and how much Arthur means to him. He hasn't let anyone other than Aravae that far in in centuries.
Mine are, too. Here's hoping. x3
