In and Around Camelot...
(Gaius and the Inn-keeper)
"You look weary, Gauis! Do sit down a while..."
"Thank you, but I must be on my way...that apprentice of mine has wandered off again...sigh!"
"You mean Merlin? Ah, he was just here last night...with his cousin!"
"Cousin? Merlin doesn't have a cousin..."
"Oh? Well then, perhaps I was mistaken. But I'm quite sure it was Merlin...and that other chap. He seems a...a rather wealthy chap too...wanted a room for the night and paid me in gold!"
(The Knights)
"Did you see that? The Prince actually carried his man-servant off the horse!"
"What? No!"
"I saw it too...*chuckle*"
"Yesterday at training, he was in a foul mood. The poor boy took such a beating in spite of the armour. But later I heard him apologising to the boy in the stables"
"Arthur...APOLOGISED to his SERVANT? Maybe the Prince took an extra hard blow to his head!"
(The Peasants and Farmers)
"I've seen them walking hand in hand in the woods."
"Oh, poppycock!"
"I swear by my own life! There's something going on between the Prince and that servant of his!"
"I hear they're in love..."
"Really? I wonder what the King will say..."
"..IF the King found out..."
"Now, you two stop that gossip! What the Prince does is NONE of our business!"
(Morgana and Gwen)
"No, milady...I never noticed"
"Oh really, Gwen! Why do you think Merlin wears that ridiculous neckerchief ALL THE TIME?"
*both girls burst into a fit of giggles*
(Morgana and Arthur, at the Royal Banquet)
*elbows Arthur* "Stop undressing Merlin with your eyes!"
*sits up with a start* "I wasn't! Really Morgana...get your head out of the gutter!"
(At the Tavern)
*Gwain waves to the bartender* "My good man! See that boy over there? Send him a pint for me, please!"
*bartender serves Merlin a fresh pint* "Compliments from the gentleman in the dark tunic...in the corner!"
"Oh...thank you!" *blush*
*Arthur glares at the man in the dark tunic* "The nerve...!"
