It was an extremely boring day in Camelot for Prince Arthur, he was stuck in bed while his leg got better, his loyal manservant Merlin walked in with some things from Gaius.
"Merlin let's play a little game. I'll go first, I ask a question, you answer truthfully, and then you ask a question, and so on." Arthur said as he sat in bed. "And before you say anything, I won't exert myself by asking questions, I'm sure it won't impede my wound healing. My first question: how old were you when you first came to Camelot?" Merlin rolled his eyes, but answered,
"I was fifteen. Alright, my question, what is the silliest thing you've ever done?" Merlin asked checking the bandage around his lower leg.
"I am not answering that." Arthur said petulantly.
"You have to." Merlin said with his signature goofy grin.
"No, I don't."
"Yes, you do."
"You can't make me, I'm the prince." Arthur said smugly.
"Fine. The stupidest thing you've done?" Merlin asked sitting down in a chair by the princes bed.
"I let you keep your job." Arthur smirked. "What is the most dangerous thing that's ever happened to you, that you had no control of?" Arthur asked.
"I was born." Merlin said without thinking about his answer. At the questioning look on Arthur's face he realized what he said. "I was hired as your manservant."
"What?"
"I was hired as your manservant."
"No, before that, what did you say?"
"Nothing."
"You said something."
"No I didn't."
"Tell me what you said, that's an order!"
"I said I was born." Merlin mumbled.
"How was that the most dangerous thing?"
"You wouldn't understand. It's my question, why won't you tell Guinevere you love her?"
"I won't answer until you explain your answer."
"Oh, you know," Merlin started nervously, "with how dangerous the world is now, evil people and animals and… stuff."
"You are a terrible liar Merlin." Arthur crossed his arms over his chest, glaring at his manservant.
"Promise you won't kill me on the spot?" merlin asked.
"Why would I-"
"Just promise." Merlin cut him off. Arthur gave him a strange look and nodded. "Iwasbornwithmagic." He murmured.
"What?"
"I was born with magic." Merlin stated slowly.
"WHAT?" Arthur near shouted.
"I only ever use it to protect you and Camelot I swear!" Merlin protested.
"But you- I mean I—what?!"
"You know what, you must be delirious again, this whole conversation is a hallucination, now go back to bed." With that Merlin forced him to lie down again, after swallowing a sleeping draught.

"Merlin, you'll never believe this crazy dream I had!"
