"I never had much patience." Gwaine laughed, having to accept that explanation. He would have done the exact same thing. He really wasn't trying to make Merlin uncomfortable with all the question, he was just extremely curiosity and not all that tactful. It was clearly that it started becoming more comfortable though as they went on. "Gaius. He.. knows a bit about it." Gwaine nodded, understanding, again what Merlin was getting at. "I always figured he really did know everything." he said, sounding fairly amused. Gauis did give off that impression. "You should travel sometime. Try Breta… It's a whole different world out there." Though he supposed he didn't need to tell Merlin that. "Thanks." "Of course. Besides," he grinned widely "You're still covering for me for skipping training this morning. That was a pretty poorly placed ditch you fell in, eh? It's a good thing I found you." Yup, that was the story. he'd made it up about five seconds ago. And it was exactly what he planned on telling Arthur, well, after 'guess what we saved the kingdom, again' (Gwaine had none of Merlin's credit taking issues, obviously. "We'll cut him off if we go.. now." Merlin started walking and chuckling slightly, Gwaine ran past him, tapping him on the shoulder and looking back "I know you're faster than that Merlin." Hey, the guy had had a head start. So if they wanted to get there before him, they were going to need to make haste… Might as well enjoy it. "Just be careful and I'll do as you say." "I'm always careful!" Yeah, obviously. "That means no trying to punch him." He gave an exaggerated groan. "It's not like we've got the time to go find a sword and not all of us can do magic." Yes, now that he knew about it, Merlin was going to get teased about it. To expect anything less would be not knowing Gwaine. "I can't let you have all the fun." Yup, sorry Merlin, no promises.

I always figured he really did know everything. Merlin laughed a little. He really did seem to know everything. ”Don’t know how… but he does.” Merlin would go insane with that much knowledge in every subject. You should travel sometime. Try Breta… it’s a whole different world out there. Merlin nodded, agreeing that it’d be a good idea, but he didn’t really have the option. ”I’d like to… but my place is with Camelot.” He needed to protect Arthur/ nearly bring down the entire kingdom on a daily basis. Nobody else could take up that position like he did. He was still curious, though. ”Do you… know anyone with magic? In Breta… or anywhere else.” He hadn’t really seen a society where sorcerers were just like out in the open. He didn’t even know how common they were. They seemed fairly common considering every two seconds one was trying to sneak into Camelot to kill Arthur but he really couldn’t know for sure because he wasn’t experienced. Merlin laughed again when Gwaine revealed his genius plan. That sounded like complete bullshit and nobody was going to fall for it but Merlin was going to go along with it anyway. ”It really is a good thing—so how did you happen upon such a ditch… alone… at training?” Yup, that plan was thought through. Let’s just wander around the forest and look for people in ditches instead of going to knight training. That’ll go over well. Gwaine tapped Merlin’s shoulder and started getting obnoxious with him again and Merlin at that point was pretty satisfied that Gwaine hadn’t started acting any differently around him. He could deal with that. It wasn’t going to be so horrible. Merlin smirked and started running, branches and rocks and shit of the like moving out of the way ahead of him. I’m always careful! ”Don’t believe you anymore than Arthur would.” It’s not like we’ve got the time to go find a sword and not all of us can do magic. ”Don’t say the M word!” Seriously if he was just going to be openly obnoxious he at least needed to get into the habit of keeping it subtle or it was going to slip out later. It mattered. It wasn’t like a ‘oh my god Gwaine don’t tell anyone I’m afraid of llamas’. This secret was big shit. I can’t let you have all the fun. He grinned and shook his head. ”Just be careful.” He repeated it…it needed to be repeated. ”You may be invincible but I’m not.”

"Don't know how… but he does." Gwaine believed it. He didn't even know Gauis like half as well as Merlin did but the guy had proved capable and intelligent in every situation they'd been in together and those weren't like stupid little situations so it was pretty impressive. "I'd like to.. but my place is in Camelot." Gwaine nodded, not fully understanding, but respecting Merlin's opinion enough. "Do you.. know anyone with magic?" "Oh yeah.. there and a few other places. Even dated a girl once. She was extremely open about it. Made her living playing with fire." He smirked. Because we all know Gwaine's ideal woman is a pyromaniac in the circus. But yeah, while Gwaine had seen his fair share of evil sorcerers he'd actually had a pretty fair balance with the good.. or at least relatively normal ones too. Merlin started pointing out flaws in his plan and he laughed. "I was on my way to training, when I heard you calling for help. I.." Okay, he had no answer for what he was doing in the forest in the first place but "You know what it doesn’t even matter nobody will care when we tell them that we saved Camelot from total destruction. They're be too busy planning the banquet in our honor." Because that was going to happen. Yup. Right after they saved Camelot. Which they would do when they were done acting like twelve year olds in the forest. Merlin started running, moving things on the ground which Gwaine had to jump over. "That’s cheating! he informed, although it was all in good nature. Gwaine liked being the underdog anyway. "Don't believe you any more than Arthur would." "Now that's hardly fair." Arthur had no faith in him. I mean just because Gwaine was slightly extremely recklessly unconvential about things… Pffft. "Don't say the M word!" He rolled his eyes, still grinning. "You're right, that's tree's looking at us very suspiciously." Merlin worried too much. Gwaine wasn't a creature of habit. He was going to be obnoxious when it was just the two of them and he could and later he'd be a well behaved careful person… or he'd mess up and come up with an excuse so ridiculous that anyone would just roll their eyes and walk away. Either way, Merlin had nothing to worry about. "Just be careful." "You have been spending too much time with Arthur." Blah blah invincible blah blah, Merlin didn't even need to be invincible he had magic so again, Gwaine really wasn't seeing the problem but he was going to humor the guy. "I'll punch him carefully, yes sire."

Yup, that sounded like him. Gwaine would date someone crazy. But that wasn’t the only thing that caught Merlin’s attention. ”Her living?” Merlin couldn’t imagine being able to be that open about the magic. It’d have been a lot easier than cleaning up after Arthur all the time. Not that he minded his job too much but that was just really different. Merlin laughed in response to Gwaine’s plan coming out slowly. It wasn’t going very well. ”I’ll go with whatever you say. It doesn’t matter anyway—Arthur’s going to be unhappy if he can’t find me later either way.” Which he still didn’t get because what the hell did the guy think Merlin was doing—out partying and drinking and messing around with women? He was Merlin. ”That banquet does sound nice though.” Yea right. No way that was happening anytime soon. ”Right after I become a knight.” Then again… if Gwaine could do it… That’s cheating! Again, Merlin laughed. By this point he was perfectly comfortable with Gwaine knowing everything. Gwaine clearly had talent because Merlin was normally an extremely paranoid person. ”That’s working at my full potential. Nobody’s asking you to hope on one leg—why should I be downgraded?” Besides… he didn’t have a fair chance at keeping up with Gwaine otherwise. You’re right, that tree’s looking at us very suspiciously. ”People hide in trees, you know,” he pointed out with a grin. Now, being compared to Arthur was not something Merlin had experienced before. He must have been being pretty bad. ”It’s your fault if we’re killed.” Obviously he was joking, but he still didn’t want them being stupid.

"Her living?" Gwaine grinned at his shocked expression, nodding. "And it was a good one too. Travelled all around the kingdom— even performed in front of the 'royal court'."Thinking about something like that happening in Camelot was almost laughable. But if Gwaine was a sorcerer, he'd totally be running around showing off. Or at least causing a hell of a lot of mischief. ”I’ll go with whatever you say. It doesn’t matter anyway—Arthur’s going to be unhappy if he can’t find me later either way.” He laughed. "It really would do him good to learn how to take off his armor by himself." Gwaine like wasn't one to talk because he still put pieces on backwards all the time but Arthur had been raised doing this shit so it should have been natural for him (and it was natural for him he was perfectly capable of doing it just needed to point that out as Arthur's writer okay back to Gwaine being obnoxious). "Right after I become a knight." "Well if that's all we're waiting for you should get on with it then. I'd be happy to help you prepare." Because Merlin was going to be a knight. Yeah. (For the record, Gwaine was much more qualified he knew how to hold a sword). Merlin was laughing a lot more and not flipping out so Gwaine let the cheating (it was cheating) slide. "Fair enough!" he commented, laughing after Merlin's explanation. The bout of… not flipping out didn't last long though. "People hide in trees, you know" "And who exactly do you think had been hiding in the middle of the forest just waiting to eavesdrop on us after we've been kidnapped?" I mean, odds, pretty high that they were alone. Besides, Gwaine would totally think to hide in a tree. Which meant that the average person.. probably wouldn't. "It's your fault if we're killed." "Would have been anyway— always is." he grinned back at Merlin "If it's any comfort, Percival and I just found out about more rooms in the castle we're not allowed to be in, so you can rest assured I have no plans of dying today."
