It's times like these that they realize they REALLY don't have a normal master/servant relationship. I mean, not many people could treat a prince like that, but Merlin... well that's just fine.
Okay, my theory is Arthur already knows about Merlin's magic. He looks totally unsatisfied and kinda disappointed with Merlin's answer like he knows Merlin's lying, but he doesn't press the matter.
And come on, Arthur may be a prat, but he's hardly an idiot. When Merlin finally reveals his magic, Arthur's just gonna be like "Duh. Now that I know, you can do twice as many chores."
@wingsofdrkness I'd imagine that if Arthur were to learn Merlin's secret his first thought would be "how could my friend betray me like this?" and his second would be "why hasn't this sorcerer killed me?" The more he thought about it, the more he'd realise how kind Merlin's been and be thankful.
I doubt he knew at this point. If he did, he'd have been a lot more agreeable. "Thanks for not turning me into a toad when I rubbed your face in dung. Why don't you take the evening off?"
@RenardeBlanche, I could definitely see it playing out that way with Arthur feeling betrayed and then realizing Merlin's been saving his ass this long because they're friends and not for any ulterior motives. I actually think that'd be a great episode.
However, I don't think he'd be more agreeable. lol It is still Arthur.
@wingsofdrkness True, but I was thinking he'd get nicer more out of fear than gratitude. When it occurs to him that he's been bullying and humiliating the most powerful wizard on Earth for years now, and that that wizard no longer has to hide his power from him... "I promise not to beat you senseless in training anymore. Please don't throw me at the wall."
@RenardeBlanche, Well, I would hope he'd have that much common sense, but he's been bullying Merlin for a long time and even with all of that power, Merlin hasn't retaliated (in any serious way). I just hope when Merlin reveals his magic, Arthur will respect him more.
Although at times, he does deserve to get thrown into a wall.
1:07 Arthur's so not believing Merlin, but decides to accept what he said and his "Alright" sounds like "Ok, I guess you have a good reason for not telling me the truth, so I'm gonna leave it like this, until you're ready to". Very interesting scene, if you ask me! ;)
@Floppsy78 Eh, long story. Arthur got wounded and Merlin was trying to look after him when an old man dondered over and made Merlin see the future. It pissed Merlin off and seriosuly freaked him out, so now he's generally scared and worried about what's gonna happen and he just wants to get back to Camelot quickly and fix it. Think that's roughly right. =)
"Yeah, that's because I've just been led by a dead guy to the birthplace of magic itself, and now I have to think of a way to save your father from your psycho-stabby sister without anyone noticing... I mean... unsuspicious insult. Let's go home." *twitch*
...And Arthur's got a bit of a belly, doesn't he? Or is it just the ridiculous amount of layers he's wearing? Reminds me of when Merlin insinuated that Arthur's fat... hahahahaha.
@azianchickle I thought that too, but then I had to dress a chap in chainmail for a play, seriously the amount of weight it and all the layers add is astonishing. :) He's actually lost weight as the series go on. Probably because of all that fighting.
It's hilarious to watch Arthur literally beg for Merlin's attention when Merlin's so often bombarded with Arthur's catchphrase "shut up" haha. Oh how the tables have turned.
Aw, Arthur is trying to make Merlin feel better by giving him something. Too bad his parents didn't teach him that buying people things doesn't solve anything :P
I love how Merlin always comes up with a humiliating explanation for whatever Arthur doesnt understand. "Oh you fainted." or, "You knocked yourself out." and "I had to knock you out." lol
I just love this scene because Merlin doesn't really think Arthur looks like a toad, and when people continue the sentence like "Maybe you'll someday transform into..." they say what the person actually is now. And Merlin apparently thinks that Arthur is handsome!
first off, i love the 'you'll magically transform into a handsome prince' line, followed up by the 'wait, never mind, magic's outlawed' line. secondly, i love how Arthur is sulking that Merlin isn't talking to him, he looks like a pouting child which kind of sums up Arthurs personality sometimes. lol.
Arthur: .....*What to do?* his expression was priceless!
Haha, like how Arthur reacts when Merlin is cranky here. If it's in the first season, Arthur probably won't give a damn, but now he's showing concern for Merlin's 'unusualness', like how their friendship evolves.
LOL! Merlin sucks at insults, but poor Arthur! Can't Merlin for once in his life TRY to notice when Arthur is being nice to him? Maybe take advantage of it, somehow?
poor Arthur. Love worry arthur he is so cute and vulnerable. Grumpy merlin is hot. love the face like a toad joke and the role reversal and arthur let merlin get away with mocking him
Colin is a absolute BRILLIANT actor.i really hope he gets roles that will make him a super star :) though ill be just as please if he remains on Merlin
Merlin: Yeah, Maybe one day you'll magically transform into a handsome price. Just, magic's outlawed and that will probsbly neverr happen, come one let's go
Arthur: Merlin, I'm the one who gives the orders remember?
This is the main moment where we see development in Merlin and Arthur's friendship in season 3. They're now so comfortable that Merlin can be grumpy with Arthur and tell him what to do without risking a bad reaction. And Merlin is starting to lead Arthur now.
It's times like these that they realize they REALLY don't have a normal master/servant relationship. I mean, not many people could treat a prince like that, but Merlin... well that's just fine.
