Not so subtle

"Merlin! Did I actually see you pouring wine for Arthur without touching the carafe?"

"It was just a bit of fun after a long day, Gaius. No one at the banquet noticed a thing, they never do."

"You're playing with fire, young man."

"Everyone is blind to real magic. Why, the other day I opened every window in the Great Hall at once, then closed them one by one with a bang, and the nobles were muttering about the drafts and the wind outside. It was hilarious."

"You're far too reckless. One day they will notice it, and then-"

"I know. I know. But they won't. I'm too subtle."

"Famous last words, Merlin."

"Arthur!"

"What, don't you agree that is entirely the appropriate comment here?"
