    Summary

    'It was awkward business to ignore a man sitting the length of one knee from you, especially when he had such voluminous ears, and though Arthur made a valiant attempt at it, he had soon to abandon this in favour of grousing at Merlin for a myriad of grievous transgressions, the most pressing of which was his manner of sitting far too close, as if they were mates. This shortcoming was to become a theme when they laid down after passing round a hard cheese and some bread, Merlin in Arthur’s cloak, and Arthur in nothing at all, because his was the greater constitution; and whilst Arthur was working himself into the choicest bit of ground, with the least stones, Merlin suddenly rolled over, mummified within the cloak Arthur’s thoughtfulness had provided, and put his nose into Arthur’s neck.'

    The 'yes homo' we all deserved, righting the heterosexual wrongs of canon.

    1. Merlin has magic.
    2. The Knights of the Round Table know Merlin has magic and have sworn an oath to protect him.
    3. Arthur doesn't know about Merlin.
    4. Merlin doesn't know that they know about his magic.
    5. Merlin is utterly besotted with Arthur and Arthur is completely in love with Merlin.

    So when the Knights along with Arthur and Merlin are captured by bandits, Merlin will do anything for Arthur. That includes avenging his (faked) death.
