• Merlin : I've brought you your ceremonial sword.

  Merlin : Hopefully not. What's wrong?

  Arthur : You wouldn't understand, Merlin. You have no idea what it's like to have a destiny you can't escape.

  Merlin : Destines are troublesome things. You feel trapped. Like your life is being planned out for you and you've got no control over anything, and sometimes you don't even know if the destiny decided is really the best thing at all.

  Arthur : How come you're so knowledgeable?

  Merlin : Hm? I read a book.

  [Then in a hushed whisper] 

  Arthur : Don't leave me again!
