Merlin 4x05 picspam - Favourite scenes
Man: Trapped, are we?
(knights appear)
Merlin: That's the idea.
Merlin: This would be the last time either of us gets to sleep in a proper bed.
Arthur: Merlin, I'm prepared to face all manner of horrors in this world, but if you think I'm sharing this bed with you -
Merlin: What? No, that's not what I meant.
Arthur: Good. Comfort to know.
Arthur: Things have changed for me. With my father gone, it falls to me to rule this land.
Gwen: I know what a responsibility that must be.
Arthur: And now that I am king ... it's no longer relevant what I may or may not want for myself. My only duty is to the people of this land. I will be judged by my actions,
who I am seen with.
Gwen: Are you ashamed to be seen with me?
Arthur: No. But now that I'm king it's not appropriate.
Gwen: I'm not appropriate?
Arthur: It seems not.
Gwen: Arthur... listen to yourself. This doesn't sound like the man I know. You've been talked into this, haven't you?
Arthur: I haven't been talked into anything. I'm my own man, I make my own decisions.
Gwen: And you decided we can't be together.
Arthur: Yes.
Gwen: I see.
Arthur: I'm sorry, Guinevere. It's just the way it has to be.
Gwen: Arthur... don't let anyone tell you what to do. You said you are your own man. You've a good heart. Be true to it. Only then will you be the king you want to be.
Elyan: We just want you to know there isn't a man among us who would not die for you. We've made our pledge and we wear the Pendragon crest with pride. Tomorrow, we fight in your name, Sire. For freedom and justice in this land.
Arthur: Thank you, Elyan. Thank you all.
Merlin: Arthur, do you really think this is worth the risk? You're king now. Camelot needs you ... alive.
Arthur: I don't know what'll happen ... but for the first time since I became king, I know in my heart I've made the right decision.
Merlin: Well, whatever happens out there ... um...
Arthur: You're not about to start crying on me, are you?
Merlin: No. Just ... good luck.
Arthur: Thank you, old friend.
Morgana: You are weak, Annis, as I thought you were. Go ahead. Make peace with Arthur, but I will not rest until all of Camelot bows before me.
Annis: Morgana? You came to me in the name of Gorlois. But I fear you are more like Uther than you realise.
Arthur: These ... are for you. They're not much, I know. I picked them by the side of a road.
Gwen: Thank you, Sire. But I don't know what they're for.
Arthur: To say I'm sorry, Guinevere.
Gwen: You don't need to apologise. I understand why things have to be the way they are.
Arthur: A good king should ... respect the traditions of the past. As my father did. I know that. But a good king should also ... be true to himself and do as he sees fit ... and be seen with those who he cares for.
Gwen: Even if they're not ... "appropriate"?
Arthur: Does that answer you're question?
Gwen: It's a start.
RANDOM COMMENTS:
- I LOVED this episode to bits (if that isn't already obvious from this picspam).
- OMG, Merlin in knights' armour! I loved that! Kind of suits him, though he is a bit thin!
- I hate Agravaine SO MUCH. Euch, creep.
- I've always been kind of lukewarm to Arthur/Gwen, but know I'm totally convinced ♥
- Arthur's mind leaps to the weirdest conclusions.
- King!Arthur is proving to be pretty awesome.
- Merlin's smiles are the cutest thing on the show.
And: This was so fun to do! I might do more picspams in the future *evil laugh* I hope you enjoyed! Screencaps by gallicka and colouring/editing done by me. Please don't re-use!
