First Spell
[The feed opens with Merlin staring down skeptically at the book in his hands. There’s a moment’s pause, and then he glances back at the baseball diamond before turning back to the book.]
Er-- [He taps it once, making the screen shake, and then leans in a bit too closely, speaking as softly as he can.]
Hello? The man over there said I could talk to several of you through this, so-- I don’t suppose any of you have seen a man named Arthur? Prince Arthur. Blond hair, blue eyes, somewhat of a prat? He’ll probably be shouting for me if he’s here. Or a few knights-- Gwaine, Lancelot, Leon, has anyone heard of those names? They'll be wearing the Pendragon crest. [Pause.] If . . . any of you know what that is.
[He looks at the baseball diamond and back to the book once again.]
Oh. Er. I’m Merlin, by the way.
