[The entry opens up with things flying around the room at high speeds.]

MERLIN! Put that down!

[And we see our favourite wizard chasing a little, gangly, dark haired, and big eared around said room. The little boy protests and more things start flying around the room. Books, shirts, jackets, anything. There's also several attempts to open up the

[Oh goodness little Merlin, you are adorable!]

Hello there.

[triestofitin]

[little Merlin shyly waves back] ...Hello. [his older counterpart is flailing in the background]

[archicheck]

[Your flailing is adorable as well, Merlin.]

What are you doing?

[triestofitin]

This crazy man seems to think he's me and I told him he's not me and I told him to let me go home but he won't let me. [he picks up the book and dodges out of older Merlin's reach]

I'm Merlin, by the way.

[archicheck]

[Ariadne is just calm as can be.]

It's nice to meet you, Merlin. I'm Ariadne.

[triestofitin]

Araidne? That's a pretty name. [dodges the man again]

[archicheck]

Thank you!

[She smiles and leans closer to the camera.] What would you say if I told you that the man behind you isn't crazy? That he's telling you the truth?

[triestofitin]

he is? [small disbelieving look] Why should I believe either of you? He won't let me leave the room.

[archicheck]

Well, let's think about it for a moment, okay? He says that he's you, right?

[triestofitin]

...Yes...?

[archicheck]

Then if he is, then there must be some things that only you know. Why don't you try asking him something only you know the answer to, and see what he says?

[triestofitin]

[whispers] What if he lies?

[archicheck]

You'll know if he does, won't you? If he can't prove it we'll find a way to get you home, alright?

[triestofitin]

[he seems unsure but then nods, taking Ariadne's word. He asks where he's from.

"Ealdor."

Who his best friend is.

"Will."

Who his mother is.

"Hunith."

Finally, the older Merlin animates a dragon carving and sends it flying around the room. Little Merlin is fascinated and shocked. Quickly, the child turns to the book again]

He really is me!

[archicheck]

[Ariadne just laughs sweetly.]

Didn't I say so?

[triestofitin]

Are you...friends? I see your name a lot.
