Morgana and Merlin in “The Castle of Fyrien”

What do you want, Merlin?

Arthur sent me. He wanted me to make sure that you were OK.

How very thoughtful of him.

Well, he cares for you, you know. And Gwen too. They're your friends, Morgana. They've always been loyal to you.

Why are you telling me this?

Because I don't understand how anyone would want to hurt their friends.

No, you just poison them. You'd do well, Merlin, to stay out of things that do not concern you.

Oh, but they do concern me, because they're my friends too, and I'll do whatever it takes... to protect them.

I would expect nothing less.
