Awesome episode this week, I liked it a lot. SO MUCH Merlin/Arthur hilarity! Gosh, they crack me up so hard! There seemed to be even more fun times with the two of them this ep. My shipper heart continues to sing for those boys...
And how Irish was Colin this ep?! Bless him!!!
And no matter how much the Gwen/Arthur/Lancelot stuff bothers me, it’s worth it to see the adorable expressions on Bradley’s face! Oh, how I pine for him... ANYWAY, that’s beside the point. Picspam time!
Morgana: You’re very secretive these days. I’m beginning to think there’s a man involved.
Gwen: When do i get to meet any decent men?
Morgana: How can you be so heartless?! Gwen is the most kind, loyal person that you would ever meet and has been more than a friend to all of us! And you would leave her at the mercy of those animals!
Arthur: Morgana-
Morgana: Have you no shame? You think of no-one but yourself! I knew you were many things, Arthur Pendragon, but I didn’t know you were a gutless coward!-
Arthur: Morgana! Perhaps if you would stop shouting at me for one second, you would notice that I am packing!
Arthur: I’ll fetch the horses, you distract the guards.
Merlin: Wha- how do I do that?
Arthur: I don’t know! Do I have to think of everything?!
...
Arthur: What did you do?! I said distract them, not knock them out!!
Merlin: There’s just no pleasing you sometimes!
Merlin: Oh, no. I know that face. I’m not gonna like this, am I? What’s in the tunnels?
Arthur: They’re... infested with Wilderin (don’t judge me, how am I to know how to spell it?!).
Merlin: What are Wilderin?
Arthur: Well, they’re like giant... baby rats.
Merlin: Baby rats? They don’t sound so bad.
Arthur: They feast on human flesh.
Merlin: Maybe we should go over the mountains.
...
Merlin: Uh, what are you doing?
Arthur: Wilderin are completely blind, they hunt by sense of smell. Gaia berries put them off the scent. So, if we smear ourselves with them, perhaps we can pass through the tunnels undetected.
Merlin: Ugh! Ugh, these stink! Oh, they’re really bad!
Arthur: Perhaps you’d prefer to be eaten alive?
Merlin: Pass me some more, will you?
Merlin: Argh! I just stepped on something!
Arthur: That was my foot.
Arthur: Gaia berries worked. Huh.
Merlin: You didn’t know if they worked?
Arthur: Not for sure.
Merlin: Now you tell me?! ‘Ooh, ooh, what’s that Wilderin eating?’ ‘It’s alright, it’s just Merlin!’!
...
Merlin: They do say love makes you do strange things
Arthur: What are you talking about?
Merlin: Why can’t you just admit your feelings for Gwen. It’s so obvious! A blind man could see it! Is it really that hard to admit you like her? Just say it!
Arthur: I can’t! How can i admit that i think about her all the time? Or that I care about her more than anyone? How can I admit that I don’t know what I’d do if any harm comes to her?
Merlin: Why can’t you?
Arthur: Because nothing can ever happen between us! To admit my feelings knowing that... hurts too much.
Merlin: Who’s to say nothing can happen?
Arthur: My father won’t let me rescue a servant, do you honestly believe he’d let me marry one?
Merlin: You want to marry Gwen?!
Arthur: No! No! I-I don’t know! It’s all talk. And that’s all it can ever be.
Merlin: When you’re king, you can change that.
Arthur: Oh, and Merlin. If you dare tell anyone about this.. I promise I will make your life a living hell.
Merlin: You mean more than you already do?
Arthur: Yeah.
...
Merlin: We could talk about your feelings while we walk!
Arthur: Shut up, Merlin!
Arthur: Merlin!! Don’t sit there cowering, let’s go!
Arthur: Truth is, I only came because Morgana begged me.
Merlin: Look on the bright side! You’ve still got me!
Arthur: Is that supposed to cheer me up?
Merlin: Thought it might.
Arthur: You really are a complete idiot, aren’t you Merlin?
