"Gaius!" Gaius jumped and dropped the tonic he'd been making Sir Hastings. He glared at his ward. Merlin didn't notice.
"Yes Merlin, what do you want?"
"I figured it out!"
"Figured what out?"
"Why so much trouble happens around here."
"Merlin, Uther has a lot of enemies."
"Yes, but trouble has been troubling Camelot for generations, right?"
"Yes, but-"
"But nothing! Uther's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather fell in love with a sorceress and he was unfaithful."
"Oh dear."
"Soooo, she cursed Camelot to be forever plagued with magical trouble."
"How'd you find this out?"
"History book."
"Merlin, have you been skipping work again?"
