[Arthur has fallen off his horse due to an unbuckled girth]
[returning the horse to Arthur] Would you like me to fit the girth properly, sir?
Thank you.
It's an honour to be of service to the prince.
An honour, do you hear that Merlin?
Allow me the honour [begins to brush Arthur's clothes] of brushing your clothes down.
[whispers, looking pointedly at Merlin] The honour!
[to Merlin, regarding Arthur] He does not deserve your loyalty. He treats you like a slave!
That's not true.
He cast you aside without a moment's thought!
That doesn't matter!
But it must hurt so much to be so put-upon, so over-looked, when all the while you have such power!
That's the way it has to be!
Together we can rule over this land, Arthur will tremble at your voice, he will kneel at your feet!
I don't want that.
We must learn our lessons from these terrible events, Gaius.
Indeed, Sire.
They prove beyond doubt I was right. Magic is evil; it is our greatest threat. [pause] I have grown complacent, Gaius.
I wouldn't say that, sire.
We must renew our efforts. We must ensure that all sorcerers and their followers are eradicated from this kingdom.
Of course, sire.
I just want Arthur to trust me, and to see me for who I truly am.
He will.
When? Everything I do is for him, and he just thinks I'm an idiot.
