Bragging Rights
(Set sometime after 3.10)
Gwen could hear Merlin and Gaius talking in their room, but something stopped her from knocking.
"I just keep feeling that there's something I should do to warn everyone about Morgana," said Merlin.
"There's nothing you can say. Morgana still has Arthur and Uther's complete trust."
"I could talk to Gwen."
"What could you tell her that she doesn't already know? Merlin, you didn't see her face when she told me about Morgana's magic. I fear that she won't react well if you confess to the same abilities."
"The same? I've more magic then her. Ouch!"
"Show some modesty, Merlin."
9. I'm In Disguise
(Gwen's pov)
"I'm in disguise."
It was one of the very first things that Merlin said to me and I laughed because it was funny. Merlin was funny. He was also sweet and clumsy and - well – Merlin.
I think maybe I was in love with him once - perhaps, in a way, I still am. Mostly though, he is my friend, my very best friend but ...
How can he be my friend if he can keep such a secret from me? Do I really know him at all?
Does anyone?
"I'm in disguise," he said when we first met and ...
... it was true.
A/N I'm back after a lovely few days away in a blazing hot Oxford in April. I am really tired and sore from all the walking and will probably not be writing today but, luckily this one was ready to go.
During my little holiday, we were on a tour in a crypt which was once part of the oldest school in Oxford. "Geoffrey of Monmouth taught here," said our guide. "Anyone heard of him?" and after explaining his part in the Arthurian legends also mentioned "... that wonderful programme on Saturday tea time." ;) No escaping 'Merlin' but then, why would I want to?
