It was not his fault. Nope. Merlin was definitely not to blame for this. He had no idea how he could possible avoid blaming himself but somehow it was possible. It had only been a day since all that shit happened at the end of the Merlin series that I don’t know about because I haven’t finished it yet but the point is Arthur was not dead, they’d been away for a while, and Gwen was not yet aware that Merlin was a sorcerer. Nobody new had really figured it out (which was surprising when you think about how ridiculously conspicuous and careless he was with it). And because laws and opinions toward magic didn’t just change overnight, Merlin remained hidden as he messed with his power. He was in Arthur’s room (Gwen needs to learn not to barge into his room because something bad happens to her every time she does this it’s becoming a problem) while Arthur had kingly things to attend to and Merlin had failed to hear the footsteps approaching the door to the chamber. He assumed it was Arthur who was opening the door, but as soon as he saw Gwen, he sort of spazzed. At the moment, he had had many objects in the air and glowing (don’t even ask what he was doing) and it wasn’t exactly a good situation for him to try to come up with a lie. Panicked that she’d seen something, Merlin waved his hand to drop everything though he sort of sent an accidental spell in Gwen’s direction. Before he could work up a good explanation, his panic heightened as he saw the Queen of Camelot shrinking and morphing…into a cat. ”Gwen! Uh, I,” he stuttered, at a loss for words. ”You’re a cat!” he tried, attempting to sound shocked as if he didn’t know where the magic had come from. It didn’t sound convincing. ”I…I am so sorry. I’ll fix it…I will… Before Arthur finds---Noooo no no he can not find out I turned his wife…” He looked back at Gwen with uncertainty. ”Can you even understand me?” He slapped his hand to his forehead. ”I am talking to a cat.”

It was completely Merlin’s fault, he was the only magic wielding being in the near vicinity. Of course Gwen didn’t know that, yet. Because you know the boys liked to keep her in the dark about these things. It wasn’t like she didn’t go there the same stuff they did. Or was married to one of them and best friend to the other. Of course not. Though Gwen never held it against them, they had their reasons. Surely they were keeping her in the dark to protect her. Anyways, Arthur and Merlin had just gotten back from battle and Gwen was ecstatic to see them both alive and well. She had already seen Arthur and spent time with him. Now he was off doing kingly things and Gwen had decided to go find Merlin. She had seen him briefly since the two boys been back but haven’t spent time with him. She wanted to spend time with her best friend. So she asked the kitchen to make a special lunch that she was planning on surprising Merlin with. Guinevere managed to convince Arthur to lend her the boy servant for the day, her husband probably thought it was so he could do some chores for her. In reality she just wanted to surprise him with lunch and see if he wanted to maybe go riding with her. No big deal. One of the other servants had told her that Merlin was busy cleaning the royal chambers, so she headed there hoping he was still there. Excuse her for not knocking to go into her OWN bedroom, being the QUEEN one would think she would have the privilege of walking into her own bedroom unannounced. The woman opened the door and walked in, not expecting for the next five seconds to unfold like they did. “Merlin, are you in he---MERLIN!” Gwen yelled in shock and fear at the site of the glowing and gloating objects.

Before she could even figure out what was going on or ask what was going on, a feeling of warmth and confusion hit her. And then suddenly Gwen was on the floor with her dress and completely covering her. She wiggled out of the dress and looked around. Everything was taller than her, including Merlin. ‘I’m a what?!’ she internally exclaimed and then glanced down. Sure enough she was on all fours, with paws, and black fur. Ignoring Merlin’s panic rambling, she slowly looked behind her to see a black furry tail. Oh my…. Gwen let out an audible cat screech, something that cat’s do when they get frightened. She whipped her head around and glared at Merlin. “Yes I can understand you Merlin. I’m a cat not stupid,” Gwen snapped uncharacteristically. And then it dawned on her that she just talked, out loud. And in English. “Oh my god! I just talked! You turned me into a talking cat!” She shook her head in her dazed like state and walked over to the bed. Springing up onto, she sat down curling her black tail around her body. She tapped her tail softly against the bed, counting to ten to calm herself down. There were many things she wanted to scream and yell but that wasn’t going to help her situation. This situation needed a calm atmosphere. Okay so she had to count to thirty to officially calm down. “You turned me into a cat…with what I assume was magic. You can do magic…what?” Yea she couldn’t process this at all.

It wasn’t the best way for Gwen to find out that Merlin was magic but the yelling when she first walked in was a little ridiculous. Maybe if she hadn’t freaked him out he wouldn’t have messed up so badly. That woman needed to control her emotions. I’m a cat not stupid. ”You’re a cat! most of them can’t speak.” It was a highly reasonable question. They were lucky they were able to communicate even though of course if Merlin turned someone into a cat it wasn’t even a legit cat because Merlin just doesn’t do anything right. You turned me into a talking cat! ”I’ve noticed!” As if he didn’t know that…thanks Gwen. You can do magic…what? He knew she saw it and everything but hearing her say it aloud made him cringe. All that time he’d spent being shitty at hiding it. Gone. ”Surprise…” he said awkwardly and drawn out, putting his hands up and shaking his fingers and everything. ”I’ve…uh… got magic… and I was… when you came in… You don’t sneak up on a sorcerer, Gwen!” Jeez, seriously. It was obviously her fault. And let the pacing begin. ”I can fix it. I can fix it… I’m sorry… damn!” He looked at her again. ”Are you alright?”

No, this was not the best way for Gwen to find out. No, she was not being ridiculous when she walked in. Things were floating around the room, Merlin was speaking some hoodoo, so yea she was going to yell and freak out. It was a normal person’s reaction to such a thing. And no, Merlin would have still messed up regardless of Gwen’s reaction. This was still Merlin we were talking about here. And then the whole talking cat thing was approached by both of them. “I’m glad both of us can establish that a talking cat is not normal.” She was trying to be nice and political about the situation. But apparently her patience shrunk when she was turned into a magical talking feline. “Surprise?” Gwen echoed attempting to give him an ‘are-you-serious- face’ with her cat features. You know the one that most Tilly characters get from Phips’ and Ally’s characters. She listened to him stutter out an explanation that ultimately ended with her getting yelled at. “First off I didn’t know you were sorcerer Merlin. Secondly this is my room, I didn’t think I would have to knock.” Yes Guinecat was a sassy animal. Normally the woman would be a lot nicer but looking at her situation it was understandable that she was like this. Her eyes followed him as he began to pace back and forth, her tail going up and down as he did so. She let out an audible sigh before an involuntary meow came out. Gwen knew she shouldn’t be too harsh on him. “It’s going to be okay Merlin,” Gwen stated in a calm tone as she reached out a paw to pet him. Yes she was comforting him, and Merlin still had the balls to blame it on her. Really? “Yes, you can fix it. I don’t know how long you have been…a sorcerer. But you are a competent person when you put your mind to it. So I’m putting my faith in you.” The woman just wanted him to calm down so nothing else could go awry. Things could have been worse. “Yes, I’m fine. It wasn’t like you had me blow up, or unleashed a dragon or a goblin.” Because Gwen technically did not know about anything he has done that involved magic. All the messes he got them into and out of. Really, Merlin had just been all over the place. And being a logical, sensible woman Gwen SHOULD have figured it out a long time ago. So yes shame on her for not catching on. But most importantly shame on him for lying to her about it. “At least you haven’t a made HUGE mess of things like that old wizard does…what was his name? Arthur told me it…I think it’s the Great Dragoon.” Yup, still doesn’t know about that either. Time for him to come clean.
