full of anachronistic language, but so is the show so WHATEVER. **************************
"We missed that?--okay, right, back to the point. Why does this merit dragging me into a side room?"
"Because what are we going to do? Elyan heard it from Jonathan this morning when he got back from patrol and since Gwaine and Percival and Leon think it's so funny they haven't bothered to correct his assumption and he's about ready to give you the if you hurt my baby sister speech! That speech involves brandishing knives at you, Merlin!"
"Uh, he won't actually hurt me, will he?"
"I don't know, the only boy he ever gave the speech to never spoke to me again, so that's all I've got!"
"Uh...huh. Er, it can't be that bad. And, well, Gwen, maybe it's actually a good thing?"
"What?"
"I mean, I certainly know about your, uh, questionable relations, and I have my own...uh, that is, I have no romantic attachments at all. I just mean I'd like to help out a friend. Such as yourself. Who would benefit from uh, an undercover, uh,"
"I'm not fake dating you, Merlin! No one cares if I'm seeing Lancelot!"
"People care if you're seeing Ar--"
"Merlin! Do you actually have no idea how to be discreet? He's already kissed me in the courtyard just a few weeks after I nearly got exiled and God knows how he is around you," she punctuates this statement with a glare that clearly reads it's sad how noticeable you are.
"I have...no idea what you're implying," Merlin replies unsteadily.
"Are you aware that you're actually the worst liar? Really," she responds, "I've known forever, because come on. You guys are obvious."
"Wait, if we're both seeing him does that mean we're actually seeing each other anyway? Because, like, transitive property--not to mean I am seeing him! Because I'm not! Not romantically! At all!"
"Right. And no, it does not. Sometimes I wonder if he's right about your mental afflictions, you know. And this is all besides the point of the castle trying to plan our wedding and my brother maybe killing you."
"Uh. We could both get caught making out with other people? Because then we just seem like we enjoy makin' out in closets?"
"I'm pretty sure that would make the castle think we're sluts. I don't know if you understand, but having impugned honor would be really bad for me."
"Even though your future prospects are both aware you are not a slut?"
