[Through the door of Merlin's room, you can see and hear him arguing with Gaius.]
Why? Why do I need to follow that stupid prat around? Because some great bloody lizard said so? [he gives a small laugh, there is no mirth in it] I'll have you know, Gaius, that I'm worshipped...you heard me, worshipped in different worlds. There's places where magic is free and children are sent to learn it.
[The old man he's railing against speaks in softer tones, clearly confused why Merlin is acting this way]
You know, I'm starting to think maybe I made the wrong decision bringing Morgana back to Camelot. At least she would've been able to have the Druids to guide her through learning her craft. At least with the Druids, I could be myself. I wouldn't need to hide any part of me.
[he starts in the direction of his room when Gaius tries to stop him. He looks at the old man and hisses out a word.] Swefn. [and like that, Gaius falls asleep on the floor. Merlin's muttering as he reaches for his backpack and grabs his spellbook, Ariadne's book, and the community book] I don't need to deal with this. I could so easily go to other worlds, where it's just that much more exciting. Where I don't need to hide.
