This is after Merlin's dad dies and they are in the middle of the forest on their way back to Camelot Arthur is bugging him to tell him what is wrong.

"You know I wouldn't usually mind the quiet," says Arthur, "but now you're just bugging me. What is wrong?"

"Nothing is wrong" replies Merlin

"Merlin I know something is wrong your aren't yourself. Tell me what's wrong"

"Arthur, nothing Is wrong I'm fine now can we just drop it"

"Tells me what's wrong I command you by the name of the prince"

(They start to talk over each other and bicker)

"Nothings….."

"Tell me Merlin"

"But I sai…"

"Merlin I'm your friend you can tell me"

"No its noth….."

"I will have you flogged if you don't….."

"He was my father" Merlin cries out almost yelling. Then saying slower "the last dragon lord was my father"

Arthur looks stunned for a moment, "Oh Merlin I'm so sorry, I didn't know"

Arthur pauses and an astonished look crosses his face while Merlin sits in silence as Arthur speaks the words he dreads to hear, "but Merlin if your father was the dragon lord that would make you"

Merlin finishes Arthur's sentence in a sorrowful tone, "the last dragon lord. What will you do Arthur?"

Arthur pauses for a moment while he battles with himself: returning to Camelot pretending that he knows nothing or turning in his best friend to obey the law, his father's law, an unjust law.

"I'm not going to say anything Merlin. You cannot help who your parents are you will not be sacrificed for something that is out of your control… So is there anything else you want to tell me"

Merlin considers telling Arthur of his magic but decides against this quickly for his secret is very powerful and he can't risk anything. Arthur starts to speak breaking the air of the cold silent morning.

"Merlin I know what it's like to lose a parent even if it's one you didn't know. You will get through this"

"I know it's just I never knew him and I wanted to learn from him."

"We better head back before they send out the knights to look for us"

"Ok" Merlin says wiping away his tears they got on their horses and set out for Camelot.
