Let's Go On An Adventure
Merlin shook his head. "No, I really can't explain it."
He, Gaius, and Arthur were huddled around Mordred... who was now a child.
Arthur turned away with a huff. "So, this whole time..." He pinched the bridge of his nose. "Did you know, Merlin, that Mordred was the Druid boy all along?"
Merlin hesitated. He didn't necessarily trust Mordred, but that didn't mean that he wanted him dead. "Yes, but that was in the past."
"I don't care!" Arthur ran his fingers through his hair. "I don't care," he repeated softly. Then he walked out.
With the "I don't cares," first it is "I don't care that he was the Druid boy IN THE PAST. You shouldn't have kept this from me." Then it was "I don't care that he was the Druid boy. He's still my friend."
