"I don't know he just fell like this during lunch." Gwen said.
Gwen started crying into a handkerchief. I walked over to comfort her.
"Have you told Gaius about this?" I asked.
"No, but I'll do that now." She said.
Guinevere got up and headed for the door.
"Is she gone?" I heard.
Merlin had woken up.
"Yes but, why would you care if Gwen were here or not?" I asked.
"Arthur, Morgana did something to Gwen in the dark tower, she'll do anything Morgana asks, and she wants both of us dead." He said.
I laughed.
"Really merlin, you need to come up with better jokes." I said.
Merlin glared at me. He's not joking?
"You're serious?" I asked more stunned than normal.
"You know maybe I shouldn't have told you." He said stubbornly.
We sat there in silence for a moment.
"There's something I have to tell you… I.. I have magic." I burst.
Merlin looked at me trying to find the right expression; he went through quite a few.
"Really?" he asked.
I was about to say 'yes' when I realized something.
"You're hiding something….. you knew?" I said.
"n-no." He said.
I gave him a glare.
"You're a bad liar Merlin." I said. "And if I didn't know better I'd say it had something to do with this."
Merlin looked confused.
"What would I know about magic?" He said. "Shouldn't Gwen be back by now?"
I thought about it, merlin was the one always talking like sorcerers were the victim. The door opened behind me and I turned to see Gaius.
"I came as fast as I could." Gaius said.
"He's fine he was pretending till Gwen left." I said. "Which reminds me, where is Gwen?"
I said thinking about what Merlin had told me. If she was working with morgana she'd probably tell her about the state they were in, I shooed the thought from my head.
"She was right behind me." Gaius said looking around.
Merlin and Gaius exchanged looks. And then Merlin mouthed something and Gaius gave a sigh.
"What is going on!?" I half yelled at them. "I feel like everyone always knows something I don't, I command you to tell me!"
