[ Well he won't find out for a very long time so ... doubtful.
But yeah. ]
He saved my life. [ Simply..... ] I mean it still hasn't been easy, but he went against his father and went to get something that would be used to cure me. [ What he doesn't mention is that he'd taken a poison for him and was on his deathbed for that reason... ah. ] If he did something like that, there was hope, wasn't there? It's been getting easier over the past year.
[It sucks when you don't know, so you couldn't prevent old age.]
Goodness! He did? I mean, I am glad you are okay now, Merlin! [He wouldn't be here otherwise.] But ah, so in his core, he had always been good, is that what you are saying? [The legends of King Arthur had always said he was a good man.]
I don't really know, it's probably more that when you grow up with a Power-driven father you can't help but pick up some of his habits, I guess. He was also a bully when I first met him so...
[She waves her hand vaguely.] Probably not as wrong as you think. Give or take one year? At least you are still over eighteen, it makes things a little easier.
[She waves her hand because YEAH, IT COULD BE CONFUSING.]
You are from a time where wine was cleaner than water, no? In modern times, it changes. And so alcohol had to be limited otherwise minors ended up drunk. People nowadays are less drunk. Usually.

You've got to be joking, right? Arthur was the biggest prat I've ever met.
no subject
Also, kind of rude and kind of unsurprised about this.]
Ah yes that's right, you did mention that he was...hard to work with. What made you change your mind?

[ Yeah but the legends are dumb!! ]
no subject
Oh! I see. Well, you're all teenagers, no? I hear some try to be the ultimate show offs as well to impress people around them. It doesn't always work.
[She doesn't know, she never went to school?!]

Arthur's a little older than me, actually. [ Somewhere else where the legends are Wrong to him. ]
no subject
Really? [Vietnam actually looks really shocked.] So...mid-twenties at least? Goodness, I thought he would be younger!
no subject
I said a little... Like one? Maybe two as his birthday is before mine.
no subject
Oh! So still...how old are you both? [She might as well just go for it and ask.]
no subject
We don't follow the same calendar as what's used here. I'd say something like 19 Winters? For Arthur it's probably 20?
[ Complicated. ]
no subject
Not the same, but that sounds very similar to how a year works. There are only four seasons where you are from, no? So 19 years, and 20 years?
