Well, he was mean. He had to get covered in soot and totally ruffled.
Most of what I write tends to come around like that. I plan the main events and then write everything else in around them, and that just randomly popped up. I knew there would be much annoyance at the appearance of nekkid!Arthur. x3
That's kind of the idea. He has a good relationship with Will, who just accepts him as he is because they grew up together, but other than that the elves tend to avoid him. Arthur accepts him because he is awawre that Merlin is different, but he doesn't see that as a bad thing - to him, Merlin is his teacher. He's powerful and, yeah, he's different, but that doesn't bother him. He's much more open minded than the elves. Also, I hadn't planned much for the feast. Maybe I'll try writing something, see what I can get.
Haha. I'm glad it made you laugh - sometimes, my humour is very odd and no one gets it. x3
I didn't actually think about that. What I figured was that Arthur was already the best in Surda, and with some help from Merlin he could clearly beat an elf, especially one not far into his training. Keep an eye out for more random fight scenes and Arthur beating up some more random elves. xDD
Aw, thank you. I understand totally what you mean - Merlin often seems distant and doesn't let people in, because most people don't tend to spend much time with him. It makes him seem more open, and shows that he's right - elves, even Riders, are still people who can feel and hurt. They aren't invincible. I think another reason he was so panicked after the scene with Mordred was that he was scared Arthur was gone, and the only person who could really relate to him had died, and he was alone again. That's got to worry someone, even someone as strong as he is.
I never think of this when I write it, only when I analyse it afterwards. Odd, huh?
You are very welcome. I'm just glad people like it so much. x3

Keep writing like that, it's awesome! ;) Yeah, I was so annoyed by that, my least favourite part ;)

Exactly, I think you really portrayed that well when we saw Merlin with the elves, and when he thought about it. LOL, well, it all seems to turn out well when you haven't planned, so I'm looking forward to it ;)

Should be fun ;)

How come you can express this so much more eloquently than me? *sulks* ;) That's very true, I think he has to put on a front for the elves because he can't really show any weakness as he is the last rider, their last hope, and they already doubt him because he is 'broken'. That's an excellent point about how Merlin felt after Mordred, poor guy!

LOL, tat's just proof of how well you know your characters. :D Actually, that's something I always thought when we did coursework, especially for GSCE's, in english, how much of this do the writers actually think of when they write it? Just about... none! ;)

Thank you - I shall try my best. x3
I totally meant to write wouldn't instead of would. Gwah, there is something wrong with me. No one ever objects to nekkid!Arthur.
Sometimes it does. Like I said, I plan the big events and write around them. It's just the way I roll. x3
I...have no idea. Sometimes, when I think about it, I can be pretty good with words. Most of the time, however, I stumble over them and make an idiot out of myself. Especially when presented with a hot guy. xDD
He'd miss Arthur if he died, even though he'd never admit to it.
I guess it is. I just go through and look at it and analyse stuff and I realise how much I haven't said. But then again, I can't write everything, so I just have to hope it comes across the same way I see it.

LOL, I just thought you were being sarcastic ;)

I guess it was the thinking part that was the issue for me, lack of brain often makes that hard ;) *snorfle* This I understand ;)

Bet he would!

I often think it's better when people don't write stuff, but you get it anyway just through the way they've written it, which is something you do very well.

No, I was being an idiot.
Lawl. Well, I'm pretty brainless at times. But sometimes, just sometimes, I manage to come up with something halfway intelligent.
He would. Deffo.
Later chapters...oh, dear, later chapters are going to be SO MUCH FUN.
Aw!
Thank you. Sometimes I'm sure that no one besides me will ever see my weird hidden meanings.

Fair enough ;)

I tend to reserve any hints of intelligence for school, where I actually do quite well, I think there's something in my house that kills my brain ;)

I am SO looking forward to them!
