Thanks! :) I keep clinging to the hope that Arthur really isn't as oblivious as it's being implied in canon, that he really does see the weird things that happen around Merlin. Because Arthur can't be that unaware. *clings*

This is lovely - Arthur's viewpoint is always interesting, and I love the uneasiness in his thoughts. Nicely done :)

Thanks! Arthur's viewpoint is interesting, isn't it? Always fun to try and get into Prince Prat's mind and see what's going on in there! :D

Ooh, yes, I love it! I hope Arthur is this observant and just hides it most of the time. XD

I hear you! :) I love an observant!Arthur!

Still LOVE it! :D
Oh, Arthur! ♥

You know, sometimes I actually convince myself when watching the show that Arthur knows and is hiding it - I quite often get the feeling that is how Bradley is trying to play it in any case! ;)

Heh, glad you still love it! ;)

And yes, oh, Arthur. *grins and pets him*

I know in the case of a lot of shows, actors are given some leeway on how they play certain things, where writers/producers/directors leave it to the actors own interpretation and discretion as to how something is portrayed. I imagine that Bradley is taking full advantage of that, trying in his own way to have a possible set up for the magical reveal. He's playing Arthur's behavior in such a way that it would be perfectly plausible at times that Arthur already knows about Merlin's magic or, at the very least, suspects. Which means: GO BRADLEY FOR YOUR MAD ACTING SKILLZ! :D
