Merlin rode on his own horse lost to his thoughts, more the thoughts from his kidnappers. Punishable by death. Was Arthur planning to kill him? Merlin thought Arthur was his friend? Really he still was, Arthur was still the person who had Introduced him to the world. Without him merlin would still be in his tree reading that dictionary waiting for his life to begin. Waiting for a savor. Still Merlin was just so confused with everything, part of him felt like riding to Camelot by himself, but he didn't really know the way. So instead he trotted along with the others, Arthur insisting on being next to him. Trying to make amends, frankly it was exhausting.
"Merlin, I'm sorry, alright I should of told you" Arthur begged from next to him. Merlin turned to him giving him the look.
"That's not the issue Arthur, everyone has secrets. It's a terrible law to begin with" Arthur put a sour face.
"Merlin I know your pure at heart but sorcery has done terrible things to this kingdom" Merlin turned to him.
"Like what! What has magic itself done to you, I mean magic. Not a person, magic" Arthur stared at him.
"Magic corrupts" Merlin scoffed.
"Arthur, magic doesn't corrupt people, people corrupt magic" Arthur gave him a weird look.
"I'm trying to have a conversation, your talking gibberish" Merlin came to a halt.
"Would you blame a horse of a opposing kingdom for carrying its rider?"
"Thats a bit-"
"No it's not Arthur! No it's not! Magic is a object! Not a person, it can't have morals Arthur it's like money! Would you execute nobles for being snobbish, no! Not every Noble is snobbish. God Arthur when will you catch on!" Merlin kicked his horse riding up. Unfortunately Arthur wasn't far behind.
"Merlin" Arthur fiddled with his hands looking vulnerable "just please don't be mad"
"I could never be mad at the man who brought me books, gave me gifts, introduced me to Camelot, gave me a friend when i was lonely" Merlin turned his head to bore Arthur directly in the eyes "and you look just like him"
Arthur shut up after that.

"He's still mad?" Morgana asked Arthur after he had dramatically came into her bedroom and flopped on her bed. Arthur nodded.
"Morgana it's not fair" morgana sighed and came up next to him, giving him a smile.
"Brother You know I'm a seer, he was actually born of magic, don't you think the kingdoms opinion on magic is a bit unfair?" She reasoned with him.
"Morgana don't you think I've realized that" she stared at him.
"Then why don't you-" he turned to look at her.
"Father" her facial features turned sour.
"I see." Her face giving a disgusted look.
"Morgana I know you don't like him-"
"Arthur. Just promise me you'll be better?" She looked him in the eyes and he nodded.
"Alright. Go get your man back" she yelled after him.
"HES NOT MY MAN!" he yelled back at her in the hallway earning a laugh.
