The Wager
"Merlin, you're suddenly very muscular and athletic! It's as if you'd followed Percival's strictest workout regime."
"That's exactly what I did, Gwen. I'm glad it shows."
"Arthur goaded you into it, I suppose?"
"Gwaine did. I took him up on a wager."
"He bet that you couldn't bulk up?"
"No, he bet that I could do it. He's always believed in me. The stake was ten silvers."
"You actually bet against that?"
"Sure."
"But... why?"
"If I won, I'd have his coins. If I lost, I'd be fit, and look like this."
"Oh."
"Quite the win-win scenario, wouldn't you say?"
