Chapter 8: Reassured Despite Himself
Arthur left after witnessing the reunion between Guinevere and Morgana. He couldn't help feeling depressed. He had seen the way Gwen and Lancelot had looked at each other. Now they were back home, and he was again reminded that she was out of his reach.
"Look on the bright side. You've still got me."
He looked at Merlin incredulously. "Is that supposed to cheer me up?"
"Thought it might."
"You really are a complete idiot, aren't you Merlin?"
He couldn't help feeling slightly reassured though, although he'd never admit it.
Merlin was no Gwen, but at least Arthur wasn't alone.
